While many fans found the video charming and empowering, not everyone reacted positively. Critics online questioned the authenticity of Meghan’s pregnancy, pointing to how actively she moved and the appearance of her baby bump. Some went so far as to suggest she used a surrogate, reviving conspiracy theories that have followed her in the past.

In response, former “Real Housewives of Potomac” star Candiace Dillard publicly defended Meghan. Dillard, who recently gave birth herself, dismissed the criticism as rooted in “misogynoir”—a term that describes the intersection of misogyny and racism faced by Black women. She noted that women in late pregnancy can still move, dance, and even work, and urged people to stop policing how mothers experience childbirth.
Despite the controversy, the video clearly struck a chord with many. It showed a rarely seen side of royal life—personal, unscripted, and joyful. For Meghan and Harry, it was also a celebration of family, resilience, and a moment they chose to reclaim on their own terms.
