Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reminisce on pregnancy experience
Prince Harry has discussed Meghan Markle’s dancing in her now-viral video of showing twerking in hospital to induce her labour before the birth of Lilibet. The video was posted to Instagram by Meghan to her 3.5million followers in honour of Princess Lili’s fouth birthday.
The video, which shows a heavily pregnant Meghan and hype man Harry twerking and dancing around a hospital room in an attempt to induce Meghan’s labour, was met with a mixed response online. While thousands of people were shocked that the intimate moment had been posted online, it seems Harry has already spoken out about the dancing that occurred in the hospital room before the birth of their daughter.
The Duke of Sussex previously mentioned the moment in his 2023 memoir Spare, recalling the day Lilibet was born on June, 2021. In his memoir, Harry revealed that the day was filled with “love and joy”, as they did not encounter the same stresses on the day Lili was born as the day their eldest child Archie was born in 2019, when the couple were still active working members of the royal family.
Speaking about his daughter’s birth in Spare, Harry said: “Nothing but joy and love in that room. We ate and ate and then did the Baby Mama dance around the hospital room.”
Meghan’s video echoed Harry’s words as she wrote in the caption: “Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn’t work – there was only one thing left to do!”
At the time of Lilibet’s birth in 2021, the song in Meghan’s video –Starrkeisha’s The Baby Momma Dance – became a viral audio on TikTok, with thousands of expectant mothers showcasing their moves to induce labour.
The controversial video seemingly caused a stir online, with royal fans divided over whether the video was appropriate to share or not. Thousands of fans flocked to social media comment sections to express their opinions.
One person wrote on X: “Oh my. That’s really just awful,” while another user joked: “They are cringe to the max… I feel nauseous.” Others claimed the Sussexes were making a mockery of their royal titles by sharing the video, with one writing: “Good grief, these people have titles. Ruining the reputation and respect of the Royal Family, one Instagram post at a time.”
While some people were shocked by the video, many weren’t surprised by the intimate moment being shared online, as one person commented: “It’s cringe and embarrassing but typical of Meghan.” However, others shared their positive thoughts on the video, praising the couple’s fun and caring relationship.
One person voiced their support for Harry and Meghan, writing on X: “This is everything! Harry on beat and Meghan dropping it like it’s hot. They look like they have so much fun together.”
Another echoed the sentiment, adding: “Meghan and Harry dancing to Baby Momma in the delivery suite is the sweetest, un-royal, cutest video.”
Meghan and Harry celebrated Lilibet’s fourth birthday on Wednesday, with Meghan posting a series of unseen family photos to her Instagram account to celebrate the special day.
Lili, who is the youngest child of Harry and Meghan and younger sister to brother Archie, was born on June 4, 2021, in California and was named Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
