A wave of surprise swept through the HELLO! office on Wednesday evening as Meghan Markle posted a playful video of herself and Prince Harry dancing in the hospital during Princess Lilibet’s birth.
The video, which quickly stirred debate online, features the Duchess of Sussex dancing—complete with a twerk—while Harry joins in with some moves of his own.
A Glimpse Into Their Labor Room Ritual
The clip gives followers a candid peek at Meghan’s experience in the delivery room, participating in the viral “Baby Mama dance” in an effort to kick-start labor. Lilibet was born a week after her due date.
“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!” Meghan wrote alongside the video.
As usual, Prince Harry didn’t take himself too seriously. He appeared laid-back and cheerful, pulling his hoodie over his head and dancing alongside Meghan with ease.

Harry’s Perspective on Lilibet’s Birth
Although the video is new to fans, Prince Harry had already described the light-hearted moment in his autobiography Spare. In his words, they “ate and ate and then did the Baby Mama dance around the hospital room,” summing up the day Lilibet arrived with, “Nothing but joy and love.”
