Meghan's Unique Birthday Surprise: A Hospital Dance Party with Prince Harry
Meghan's pregnancy dance video highlights her energetic maternity state.
In an unexpected move, Duchess Meghan has shared a heartfelt video on Instagram for her daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday. The video features the 43-year-old and her husband Prince Harry dancing joyfully in a hospital room - recreating the very moment that took place four years ago, just before the birth of their little girl.
The video shows a heavily pregnant Meghan in a black dress, swaying her hips and bottom to the music, hoping to stimulate labor with her movements. Harry joins in, showing off his unique moves, occasionally sporting a funny, hooded dance look.
"Four years ago, this happened too," Meghan captions the video. "Both of our children arrived a week late. After spicy food, long walks, and acupuncture didn't help - this was the last resort!" The video provides an intimate look into the couple's efforts to bring their daughter into the world.
A series of heartfelt posts
This video is just one of three heartfelt posts Meghan shared for Lilibet's birthday today. Earlier, she posted several black-and-white photos: one of her and Lilibet arm in arm on the beach, and another of her breastfeeding the newborn. "Four years ago, she entered our lives - and every day is brighter and better because of it," she wrote.
She also shared two photos of Harry with his daughter, one from just after her birth and another from behind, with the girl by his side. "The sweetest bond to watch unfold. Dad's little girl and favorite adventurer," the caption read.
A shift in privacy
Meghan's many posts are still unusual. Throughout their separation from the British royal family in 2020, the couple has kept their private life, and especially their children, out of the public eye. But since Meghan's return to social media after seven years, this has changed - a strategy that also serves to promote her Netflix series "With Love, Meghan" and her lifestyle brand "As Ever."
Despite the occasional glimpses into their family life, Princess Lilibet Diana remains a relatively private figure. She was born on June 4, 2021, in the US, and her name honors her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, who was affectionately called Lilibet in the family. Along with her brother Archie, she lives with her parents in California.
Dance therapy for labor induction
According to research, dancing during labor can be beneficial[3][4]. By moving to the rhythm, the body naturally releases endorphins that can help alleviate pain and encourage contractions. The practice has been growing in popularity, with more and more women incorporating dance into their labor routines.
With the recent release, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have showcased their supportive bond and their willingness to embrace unusual methods in intimate moments. The video serves as a beautiful tribute to their family and their unique journey, offering a glimpse into the playful, loving dynamic between the couple.
I'm not going to be able to keep up with the entertainment these celebrities are dishing out, especially with Meghan's latest pop-culture moment. The dance therapy session for labor induction showcased in the heartfelt video released for their daughter Lilibet's birthday is just another example of their unconventional approach to parenthood.
