claim: a photograph shows prince harry and megan markle in front of their new rv camper.
question: did prince harry and meghan markle buy an rv camper?
origin: in january 2020, prince harry and meghan markle announced that they were stepping back as senior members of the royal family. shortly afterwards, an image supposedly showing the couple standing in front of an rv as they prepared to start on their new un-royal lives started to circulate on social media:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  this is not a genuine photograph of the couple.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  while it’s unclear who created this photoshopped picture, a number of rv sellers have used it on facebook as a humorous advertisement.

  this fake photograph was created by combining at least three different images. the first featured a lone camper, the second a couple standing in front of their mobile home, and the third (and possibly fourth) featured the faces of the formerly royal couple.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  here’s a collage to better visualize how these images were combined:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  while prince harry and meghan markle have truly stepped back from their duties as members of the royal family, they haven’t (at least not yet) moved into an rv camper.
