Duchess Meghan's Unconventional Birthday Dance for Lilibet's Fourth! 🎉💃🕺️
Meghan exhibits her energetic pregnancy through a dance clip.
Four years ago, a dance would kickstart a whirlwind journey for Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry! Meghan marked her daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday by sharing a never-before-seen clip of their hospital room dance-off that attempted to encourage the little princess to make her grand entrance.
On Meghan's Instagram, we find an unexpected glimpse into the royal family's private moments. Four years ago, the 43-year-old Duchess - clad in black and with her hair in a sleek ponytail - is seen twerking and dancing alongside her husband Prince Harry to the rhythm of "The Baby Momma Dance." This maternity party in the hospital room took place just before the birth of Lilibet.
Meghan captions the video with a laugh, "Four years ago, this happened too! Both of our children arrived a week late. After spicy food, long walks, and acupuncture didn't help - this was the last resort!" It turns out dancing can indeed help induce labor!
Another Peek into Lilibet's Fourth Birthday
Meghan shared more than just the dance video to celebrate her daughter's special day. Black-and-white snaps of memorable moments with Lilibet were also posted. "Four years ago, she entered our lives - and every day is brighter and better because of it," Meghan lovingly wrote.
Moreover, there were photos of a doting father Harry with his daughter, all the way from the touching moments after Lilibet's birth to adorable walks hand in hand. "The sweetest bond to watch unfold. Daddy's little girl and favorite adventurer," the caption read.
Stepping Out of the Shadows
While the Sussexes have largely kept their family life out of the public eye, Meghan's recent post deviates from this tradition. With her return to social media after a seven-year hiatus, Meghan is stepping out of the shadows to promote her Netflix series "With Love, Meghan" and her lifestyle brand "Archewell" [2][3].
Lilibet Diana, named after Queen Elizabeth II and the late Princess Diana, was born on June 4, 2021, at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California [1]. She lives with her parents and older brother Archie in California, where the Sussexes have found peace after stepping back from the British royal family in 2020 [1].
