Where is Trisha Paytas from? Nationality explored as YouTuber addresses Queen Elizabeth II reincarnation rumors 

YouTuber Trisha Paytas has shut down rumors of naming their baby Elizabeth as a tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away on September 8, 2022. In the hours leading up to the Queen's death, users on Twitter jokingly claimed that the ailing sovereign might reincarnate as the child of the social media influencer. Trisha recently announced that she had gone into labor with their first child, a girl.

On September 9, the California native Trisha Paytas responded to the rumors by uploading a TikTok video. She claimed that she was "still very much pregnant" and that she felt that it was in poor taste that their name was being brought up during a major global tragedy.

She went on to explain that she was disappointed that people she knew in real life were also congratulating her, but Trisha had to inform them that she had not delivered yet. However, she expressed their excitement about being a mom whenever that happened.

34-year-old YouTube sensation Trisha Paytas is from California, US, who gained online fame by making lifestyle videos and filming mukbangs. Paytas announced on Valentine's Day that she is expecting their first child with husband and Israeli artist, Moses Hacmom, with whom she tied the knot in 2021.

Paytas had earlier revealed that it was unlikely she would ever conceive when she was diagnosed with the pelvic inflammatory disease after contracting chlamydia. As she was in late teens, Trisha opted against a hysterectomy.

In one of their previous tweets, Paytas also got emotional as she noted:

"If God has blessed u with the ability to carry a child, consider yourself oh so very lucky. Infertility is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone. [sic]"

However, in February this year, their husband Moses Hacmon took to Instagram to share an adorable photo of the couple with the ultrasound results. Trisha dutifully documented their pregnancy journey on social media, and late Wednesday night announced on Twitter that the baby was soon to arrive.

Netizens brew up a viral theory linking Trisha Paytas and Queen Elizabeth

Paytas' announcement received a lot of attention after Buckingham Palace announced Queen Elizabeth II's critical health condition. The statement read:

"Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen's doctors are concerned for Her Majesty's health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision."

With just hours between Paytas' joyous announcement and the revelation that the Queen was seriously ill, Twitter users quickly linked the two situations. Some claimed that the Youtuber's baby would reincarnate as Queen Elizabeth II.

While some users even took this as an opportunity to start a meme fest.

At 96, Queen Elizabeth II passed away at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, where she traditionally spent the late summer and early fall every year. King Charles III has since presided over the throne, following on from his predecessor’s historic 70-year-long run leading Britain.
