Is Meghan Markle Using Ozempic? Unpacking the Weight Loss Rumors

There is a royal mystery swirling around Montecito—and no, it is not about King Charles, Prince Harry, or family feuds. Meghan Markle showed up on a red carpet a while ago, looking noticeably slimmer, and the internet practically fainted. Was it Ozempic? Was it stress? Or was the Duchess on a mission to reclaim her spotlight in Hollywood? 

Fans have questions, critics have claims, and insiders are definitely talking. As the internet buzzed with claims in the recent past, it is now time to get to the bottom of this transformation and see what was really behind her change.

Is Meghan Markle’s slim look thanks to Ozempic? The internet has its theories

When Meghan Markle stepped out with Prince Harry at the Bob Marley: One Love premiere in Kingston, Jamaica, back in January 2024, social media exploded. Fans did not just notice her dress—they zoomed in on her cheekbones. In a matter of minutes, X users filled the timeline with a post of her at the premiere saying, “Here you go, unfiltered Meghan Markle,” claiming, “Here you all go, no Photoshop, filter, just pure Ozempic.” The term “Ozempic face” trended for hours, with users claiming her glam was chemically assisted, not just genetically blessed.

Commenters went into full detective mode, throwing out comments like, “You can see the injection points near her Cupid’s bow.” Some even claimed she was trying to match Kate Middleton’s signature slim silhouette. While Meghan Markle has not responded to any of it, the timeline stayed busy turning a red carpet moment into an internet-wide facial analysis. But did she use Ozempic to lose weight? Here is a breakdown. 

How did Meghan Markle lose weight?

Between 2019 and 2021, Meghan Markle welcomed two royal babies and, like any mother, retained some post-pregnancy weight. But it was her sudden transformation in 2023 that prompted fans to jump on the Ozempic bandwagon. As reported by Life & Style, an insider shared how she “barely eats” when she is overwhelmed, pointing to signs of stress eating or rather, not eating, as a major factor in her sudden transformation. 

Then, in August 2023, Meghan Markle was spotted bundled up in a scarf and wool coat on a sunny California day.  

 That odd fashion choice only drew more attention to her appearance, especially after she was spotted wearing a NuCalm disc that claims to reduce stress. The Life & Style insider source also reportedly told the outlet, “She doesn’t have an appetite when she’s juggling a lot,”. In her more recent podcast, Meghan Markle herself opened up about facing rare postpartum health struggles, leading to the belief that the weight loss seemed to come with stress, pressure to prove herself again in Hollywood, and health-related struggles.

What is Meghan Markle’s workout routine and diet ?

When it comes to fitness and diet, the Duchess once told Shape in a 2013 interview, “I eat mostly veggies and fish, but I’m also a foodie,” adding that she avoids anything that makes her feel “sluggish.” The Duchess also reportedly follows a plant-forward pescatarian lifestyle 80% of the time and indulges smartly on weekends. She is said to be big on acai bowls, avocado toast, and green juices—and even turns to watermelon with cinnamon for a low-sugar treat.

As for workouts, Markle confessed in the same Shape interview she needs running “as much for my head and to clear my head as for keeping in shape.” She also swears by “hot yoga, Moksha yoga specifically”, and has practiced “Pilates at LA’s Pilates Platinum”. Her fitness choices clearly prioritize balance, movement, and mindfulness—no crash diets, no compulsive routines. These routines, plus the stress-triggered appetite changes, offer a much clearer picture than any speculation about cosmetic enhancements has to date.
