Meghan Markle is addressing the ongoing criticism over a viral video of her dancing in the delivery room with Prince Harry.

In a sneak peek for the upcoming episode of the “Aspire” podcast, set to release Tuesday, the Duchess reflects on the now-viral clip where she and Harry dance during her labour.

“Authenticity is important,” Markle shares with host Emma Grede, humorously asking, “Did you see my ‘Baby Momma’ dance?”

Grede admits to having seen the video, even teasing her own secret cheer for Markle’s happiness and honesty. “I love seeing that joy and genuine spirit,” she comments.

Markle clarified that the video was recorded in 2021, while she was pregnant with Lilibet. “That was four years ago, despite the noise, there’s a real, joyful life behind the scenes,” she emphasizes.

“Now, I’m grateful to share moments on my own terms, especially on social media,” she concludes.

The comments were prompted by Markle sharing the same throwback video on Instagram for Lilibet’s fourth birthday, which drew mixed reactions, including backlash.

While some fans found the dance adorable, others criticized it as unrealistic or staged, with comments calling it “cringe” or “fake.”

Markle’s friend Christopher Bouzy defended the video, condemning the critics and highlighting the cruelty of scrutinizing personal moments like this. “Turning joyful memories into hate is heartbreaking,” he stated and also dismissed conspiracy theories about her pregnancy, calling them baseless and harmful.

The viral clip showed Markle dancing beside her hospital bed in a labor gown, with Harry casually crossing front in a hoodie. Markle captioned, “Four years ago today, this happened,” referencing their previous childbirth experiences.

Despite the mixed reactions, many supporters praised her authenticity, describing the dance as “cute” and “relatable,” while Markle’s supporters condemned the cruelty of online hate and conspiracy theories about her pregnancy.

Markle also shared family moments, including a Father’s Day tribute to Harry with photos of him with Archie and Lilibet, calling him “the best” and expressing love on social media.
