Earlier this week, the Sun published a story about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, enjoying a meal at pub. Now, the restaurant in question—Winkfield's Rose & Crown—is denying that it ever happened.
A spokeswoman for the pub told Harper's Bazaar that Meghan, Harry, and Archie did not in fact patronize the establishment. Her statement goes against what the Sun's source, a 53-year-old businessman, was quoted as saying.
He gave a detailed description of the scene, and specifically identified the Sussexes. "They were on a table with, I presume, a private secretary. Meghan was cradling Archie most of the time," he said. "The little lad was as good as gold, I didn’t hear him cry once while he was there."
The Sun's royal reporter Emily Andrews has yet to comment on this new development in the story.
It's not uncommon for royals to be victims of a hoax. Earlier this summer, both Meghan and her sister-in-law the Duchess of Cambridge had their names caught up in false, beauty-related allegations.
The Mirror uncovered an entire online campaign that claimed Meghan swore by certain diet pills. Pictures of the Duchess were used in online ads, which also featured fake quotes attributed to her. Palace staffers quickly condemned the campaign once the Mirror brought it to their attention. "This is obviously not true and an illegal use of the Duchess’ name for advertising purposes," a spokesperson said. "We will follow our normal course of action."
And as for Kate, a doctor posted a side-by-side of her on Instagram, suggesting that one photo was taken before she underwent a cosmetic procedure, and another after. Kensington Palace issued a swift denial, saying the post was ""categorically not true," adding, "in addition, the Royal Family never endorse commercial activity."
