Meghan shares video of her dancing before birth of Lilibet

Meghan Markle and husband Prince Harry dropped it low as she prepared to give birth to their daughter, Princess Lilibet, in a newly released video from 2021.

For Lilibet’s fourth birthday, the Duchess of Sussex shared a throwback video on Instagram of her and the Duke of Sussex dancing to the viral “Baby Momma Dance Song” while they were in the hospital for their second child’s birth.

In the video, Meghan sported a black wrap dress as she twirled around the delivery room, moved her hips and clapped to the music.

Harry, 40, could also be seen dancing across the screen.

Meghan and Harry, who sported jeans and a green hoodie, then dropped it low as the song sang, “Drop it down, drop it down down low.”

“Four years ago today, this also happened,” she captioned the post.

“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!”

Social media users were quick to chime, with some being more positive than others.

“Make it stop. #Cringe,” one person wrote on X, while another described the clip as “fake and cringe.”

A third person said, “Everything they do to be ‘relatable’ is weirdly not relatable. It’s bizarre how they never miss.”

On the flip side, one user praised the Sussexes for the “super cute” display.

It came after Meghan unveiled two heartwarming photos to celebrate Lilibet’s birthday, offering a rare glimpse into the young royal’s life.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, shared two black and white photos of her with the little one in honour of her special day.

“Happy birthday to our beautiful girl,” she began her celebratory tribute.

“Four years ago today, she came into our lives – and each day is brighter and better because of it.”

“Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day,” Meghan added.

The sweet post contained two snaps of Meghan with Lili – a recent one of them on a boat, and another taken days after she was born.

Prince Harry and Meghan welcomed Princess Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor on June 4, 2021 – more than a year after the Sussexes quit royal life and relocated to Montecito, California.

According to Lilibet’s birth announcement, she was named in honour of the late Queen Elizabeth’s family nickname, and her middle name, Diana, “was chosen to honour her beloved late grandmother, the Princess of Wales”.

Lilibet and her brother, Archie, 6, were given the titles of prince and princess after their grandfather King Charles’ coronation in May 2023.

Lilibet had met the queen before Her Late Majesty’s death, but reportedly didn’t get a photo with her to commemorate the moment.

Harry and Meghan’s daughter was born at 11.40am local time and weighed 7lbs 11oz. She is seventh in line to the throne.

While exact celebration plans for Lilibet’s big day remain under wraps, the Sussexes will likely mark their daughter’s birthday with an intimate gathering at their sprawling $14 million mansion – much like the intimate celebration they held for Archie’s sixth birthday last month.

Lilibet’s birthday comes just one day after Meghan discussed her aspirations for her daughter’s future in a bonus episode of her Confessions of a Female Founder podcast.

The former actress spoke to Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, about her business mindset and hinted that she’s considering “building something” with Lilibet in the future.

“I wonder if one day I’ll be in business with Lili and we’ll be building something,” she told Knowles, 71, who spoke about founding hair care brand Cécred with her famous daughter. “That’s the best.”

While it’s unclear exactly which business Meghan hopes to join forces with her daughter, the former actress is likely referring to her lifestyle brand As Ever, which she launched in March.
