Meghan Markle’s fake topless photos have been removed from eBay following a backlash.

Brittany Vonow, a journalist for The Sun, claimed that the compromising photos of the Duchess of Sussex have been removed after their publication saw it on eBay.

The snap featured a woman who is sunbathing, and the picture is printed on glossy photo paper. It is understood that the picture first made their rounds online just weeks after Markle started dating Prince Harry.

A spokesperson for eBay confirmed that the photo has been taken down even though several insiders already affirmed that the woman in the snap is not the “Suits” alum.

“This type of item is banned from eBay’s UK platform and any related listings will be removed,” the spokesperson said.

As of late, little is known about the person selling the photos on eBay but The Sun said that the account owner is also selling other sensitive pictures online. The unnamed seller claims to be from Hampshire, UK, and he is requesting for payments to be sent to him via PayPal.

In related news, Markle also made headlines this week after a royal expert said that she thinks the alleged feud between the Duchess of Sussex and Kate Middleton is actually true.

“I think rumors of a rift are undoubtedly true because I think that William is very responsible and knows what his role is and Kate has come alongside that and executed that extremely well. And I think it’s quite difficult to have had Meghan who seems to want to modernize and set her own agenda,” she said on Yahoo’s “The Royal Box.”

Markle and Middleton have been pitted against each other for the past couple of months. On the online forum site Quora, some royal fans also weighed in on which of two is their favorite royal.

Majority of the respondents said that they prefer the Duchess of Cambridge over Markle. And one of the common reasons is because she has been married to Prince William for years.
