To celebrate daughter Lilibet’s fourth birthday, the Duchess of Sussex uploaded a clip to Instagram that shows her twerking beside a hospital bed while Prince Harry, in a hoodie, grooves next to her. The couple sway to The Baby Momma Dance as Meghan explains in the caption: “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!” She noted the footage was shot “exactly four years ago,” just hours before Lilibet’s birth.
Photos, praise and a flood of criticism
Alongside the video, Meghan posted newborn pictures of Lilibet and wrote: “Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today, she came into our lives and each day is brighter because of it.”
The post quickly drew thousands of comments. Some users called the moment “sweet,” but the louder reaction was disbelief:

“Why would you even post this? Keep it private!” wrote @Micason10.

“Of course she had to set the camera up first,” added @enoughisenoug34.
-
“I was induced—no one told me to dance on camera,” commented @sam_bell248.
Pregnancy doubts and authenticity claim
Several detractors went further by questioning Meghan’s appearance:
-
“That’s not a real pregnancy belly. It’s way too high,” claimed @UKBoundJLS.
-
“She said she’d had pre-eclampsia—does she remember her own stories?” asked @susi_spencer.
Despite the pushback, the Sussexes have not responded. The video remains online, fueling fresh debate about privacy, authenticity, and the couple’s ongoing relationship with social media.
