Duchess Meghan Goes Public with Pregnancy Dance Ritual for Lilibet's Birthday
Meghan displays her energetic pregnancy through a dance performance video.
In a refreshingly candid move for the realm, Duchess Meghan has dished the deets on her unconventional dance-off in the delivery room with Prince Harry to spark labor during Lilibet's birth. This intimate glimpse into the royal family was shared as a sweet tribute to her daughter on her fourth birthday.
The video, posted on Instagram, captures a cheerful Meghan, heavy with child, and Harry busting some moves in hospital garb. The duchess, wearing a black dress, can be seen swaying and jiving to the music, while Harry tosses in his own version of robotic maneuvers. Even the princely gentleman dons a hoodie and offers a humorous twist to the dance.
"Four years ago, this went down," Meghan penned alongside the video. "Both our kids popped out a week late. After curries, walks, and acupuncture hadn't done the trick, this was the last resort!" Dancing is said to aid in labor induction.
Three Cheers for Lilibet
This isn't just any post – Duchess Meghan kicked off Lilibet's birthday celebration with a trifecta of heartfelt posts. Alongside the dance video, Meghan presented black-and-white snaps of strolls on the beach and tender moments nursing her newborn. "Four years ago, she joined our crew – brighter and better each day because of her," she reflected.
An additional pair of photos featured the Duke involved in his little girl's life. The first snap showcased him gently cradling Lilibet, while the second depicts Harry and Lilibet adventuring together from behind. The caption read, "Witnessing the sweetest relationship unfold – Dad's little girl and their favorite adventurer."
Peeling Back the Curtain
Meghan's choice to share her labor dance routine represents a shift from their previous secretive approach, keeping their private life and especially their children out of the public eye. However, this seems to be a new chapter as Meghan returned to social media this year after a hiatus of seven years, using her platform to promote her Netflix series "With Love, Meghan" and lifestyle brand "As Ever."
Though images of Princess Lilibet Diana have been scarce, she was born in the US on June 4, 2021, and named after her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, who is affectionately called Lilibet. Lilibet and her six-year-old brother Archie call California home with their parents, post-2020's exit from the British royal family.
