Meghan Markle Twerks In The Hospital Room To Induce Labor

To celebrate Princess Lilibet’s fourth birthday, Meghan shared a throwback video of her twerking in her hospital room in order to try to induce labor. In the video, she shook her hips, raised her hands in the air, and spun around while Starrkeisha’s “The Baby Momma Dance” song played in the background.

“Four years ago today, this also happened. 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!” she wrote in the caption of the Instagram video, where comments were disabled.

Prince Harry Said Lilibet’s Skin Was ‘Blue’ When She Was Born

In his 2023 memoir, “Spare,” Prince Harry recalled how he “went and stood beside the doctor” because he wanted to be the first person that Lilibet saw when she was born.

"The skin was blue. I worried the baby wasn’t getting enough air. Is she choking? I looked at Meg. One more push, my love! We're so close,” he wrote in his memoir, as per Peoplemagazine.

"There was only this intense present, and then the doctor turned to me and shouted: Now!" Harry continued. "Gently, but firmly, as I’d seen in films, I pulled our precious daughter from that world into this."

Other Readers Thought That She Was ‘Grinding Like A Stripper’

Unfortunately, not everyone thought that her video was in good taste. “It was so crass I thought it was a spoof,” one user commented. “Grinding like a stripper? And sharing it with the world? Poor judgement – just for clicks. Desperation.”

Another viewer wrote, “This woman has no shame.”

“It’s easy to see that she’s not a royal, as no royal person would behave in such a vulgar, low-class way. It is simply DISGUSTING,” another follower exclaimed.

“What an appalling, vulgar thing to post. Just when I think these two cannot sink any lower, they surprise us again. They continue to put themselves out into the public with tacky Instagram posts, ridiculous, plagiarized media content, and phony PR puff pieces like this one - and then whine when people comment unfavorably,” another opined. “And AS EVER - they even make their daughter's birthday all about them. Those poor kids. The US can have 'em.”
