Meghan Markle Speaks About Her Viral Delivery Room Dance
Meghan Markle hit post and let the world see a version of her we rarely get—unfiltered, unbothered, and dancing like no one’s watching.
On June 4, she celebrated Princess Lilibet’s fourth birthday by dropping a throwback video straight from the delivery room. Not a posed pic or photoshoot, but a real sentimental moment they shared moments before expanding their family. Meghan, fully pregnant, danced while Prince Harry encouraged her from the side, laughing and cheering her on in true partner fashion. The caption was just as carefree: “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!”
There was no glam team on site or royal treatment to prep her. No scripted moment. Just Meghan, dancing through labor and sharing a private moment on her terms. That video lit more than Princess Lilibet’s birthday candles; it sparked something for the mom behind the moment, too—a reminder to live freely, document the memories, and share them when she’s ready.
Now she’s speaking on it. In a preview from her upcoming episode on “Aspire with Emma Grede,” Meghan finally gives the moment some context and a little laugh. “Did you see my ‘baby mama dance’?” she asked, mid-conversation. The clip emphasized the importance of being present, playful, and genuine.
She talks about stepping into a space where she’s no longer trying to meet anyone’s expectations, not performing, and not packaging herself for the public, but just showing up as she is.
Between her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, and her podcast, “Confessions of a Female Founder,” Meghan is carving out a space that reflects her life: motherhood, business, messiness, joy, all of it. Her way.
