Overview

  • On June 4, Meghan posted an Instagram clip of her and Harry dancing in a hospital room shortly before daughter Lilibet’s birth to mark the child’s fourth birthday.
  • The 2021 video shows the couple twerking to ‘The Baby Momma Dance’ after seven days past their due date, following failed efforts with spicy food, walks and acupuncture.
  • Reactions were split: some praised Meghan’s openness, while royal experts including Richard Fitzwilliams and Daily Mail columnist Sarah Vine condemned the clip as ‘unroyal’ and attention-seeking.
  • Harry had earlier recounted the same ‘Baby Mama Dance’ in his memoir Spare, describing the moment as filled with “nothing but joy and love.”
  • Royal commentator Jennie Bond suggested that King Charles III may feel sorrow over missing vital family moments as the Sussexes maintain distance in California.
