A Glimpse into the Royal Delivery Room: Meghan's Pregnant Dance-Off with Prince Harry
Meghan's pregnancy is being highlighted in a dance video, showcasing her energetic state.
Celebrating her daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday, Duchess Meghan surprised us all with an intimate video that showed the Royals in an unusual light. The video, shared on Instagram, captured Meghan and Prince Harry dancing merrily in a hospital room - just moments before Lilibet was born four years ago.
The video, set to the tunes of "Baby Mama," showcased a more casual side of the Royals. A radiant Meghan, in a black dress, sways her hips and wiggles her bottom to the rhythm, attempting to induce labor with her moves. Harry, ever the supportive husband, joined in, displaying his own interpretation of the dance complete with some robot-like steps and a hoodie hood over his head.
In her caption, Meghan wrote, "Four years ago, this also happened. Both of our children arrived a week late. When spicy food, long walks, and acupuncture didn't help - dancing was the last resort!"
Three Posts of Love for Lilibet
This wasn't the only birthday post dedicated to Lilibet. Earlier in the day, Meghan shared several black and white photos. One showed her and Lilibet arm-in-arm on the beach, while another depicted her breastfeeding the newborn. The caption read, "Four years ago, she entered our lives - and every day is brighter and better because of it."
Two photos of Prince Harry with Lilibet followed. One captured the sweet bond between father and daughter shortly after her birth, while the second picture, taken from behind, showed Lilibet by Harry's hand. The caption for this one read, "The sweetest bond to watch unfold. Dad's little girl and favorite adventurer."
An Unconventional Shift
Meghan's series of intimate posts are a departure from the norm. Traditionally, the couple kept their private life and their children away from the public eye. However, since Meghan's return to social media this year and the launch of her Netflix series "With Love, Meghan" and lifestyle brand "As Ever," there has been an increase in shared glimpses of their personal life[1].
Lilibet Diana, born on June 4, 2021, in the US, shares her name with her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, who was affectionately known as Lilibet within the family[2]. Together with her six-year-old brother Archie, Lilibet resides with her parents, Prince Harry and Meghan, in California, following their departure from the British royal family in 2020.

I'm not going to be able to recreate the exact dance routine from Meghan's pregnancy, but surely there's some entertaining entertainment I can find that features celebrities.
Even though they've been private about their children in the past, it seems like Meghan and Prince Harry are taking a different approach, making their personal life more accessible, much like some celebrities who share their lives with fans.
