Could this really have been signed by Meghan Markle?

From what I’ve read, Queen Elizabeth forbids any members of the Royal Family from signing autographs.  The picture taken below was likely done after the couple was already married.  If so, it then would be highly unlikely that the Duchess would sign this photo.  Did PSA/DNA get another one wrong?  This is being sold by a high-volume autograph dealer on eBay who likely has a fairly big account with PSA/DNA.

There is also another similar photo, taken in the same setting within minutes of each other, supposedly signed by Markle, and authenticated by PSA, yet the two autographs do not look very similar.

What do you think?

Here is the other photo.

Here is another one.

And here is an authentic Meghan Markle autograph.

This is most likely fake. The picture was taken the day Meghan and PrinceHarry announced their engagement, and from that moment Meghan was forced to stick with royal protocol, which means no signing autographs. There is proof of this; after getting engaged, the couple had to do a tour of the UK, and during a stop in Wales in january of 2018 (4 months before their wedding) Meghan was faced with a little girl who asked for her autograph. Since she isn't allowed to give her signature, she slightly skipped with protocol and wrote "Hi Kaitlyn" instead, on the piece of paper she was requested to sign. So it is highly unlikely she signed those pictures, given that case, and the fact that she can only sign stuff like official pictures, documents or letters.

This is the paper she signed;

Also, Meghan's true signature is more fluent and graceful, like the sample you posted below. The signature on the PSA/DNA pictures looks more like Donald Trump's than Meghan's. So yes, I do believe PSA/DNA, once again got it very, VERY, wrong.

Who are the clowns running PSA? This is pretty pathetic.

Do they just pass anything for volume dealers or that looks "remotely" similar?

They are fast reducing their relevancy in the autograph world.

That's the reason why i switched to JSA.

Thanks for your response, Cris.  This really is just gross negligence and incompetence on the part of PSA/DNA.  This is their job to be on top of things like this.  I mean...if so many of us mere mortals are aware that Royals are not allowed to sign autographs, PSA should certainly be aware of this.  It’s not that hard.  Just listen to the news!  If they’re supposed to be “experts” on autographs, mistakes like these should be simple to avoid.

that is not meghan's sig imo

Thanks, Michelle!  I tend to agree.  

That's a pretty shocking gaffe.  It seems like they are just breaking out the rubber stamp.
