The Duchess of Sussex has released footage of her and Prince Harry dancing from the labour ward, in a move that is unprecedented for members of the royal family.
In the clip uploaded to Instagram, a heavily pregnant Meghan is seen wearing a black dress as she shows off her moves, with Harry hilariously moving across the camera.
The pair appeared to have jumped on the viral Baby Mama Dance trend from four years ago as they awaited their daughter Princess Lilibet’s arrival at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California.
“Four years ago today, this also happened,” Meghan captioned the video. “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!”
It comes after the Duchess also posted a series of unseen snaps from her personal album of her daughter Lilibet, including a precious skin-to-skin moment between mother and daughter and Harry cradling his newborn daughter in his arms.
Recalling the lead-up to his son Archie’s birth in May 2019, Harry wrote in his memoir, Spare: “Meg’s doctor had tried several homeopathic ways to get things moving, but our little visitor was just intent on staying put. (I don’t remember if we ever tried Granny’s suggestion of a bumpy car ride.).”
Meghan also recently opened up about turning to an Ayurvedic practitioner when pregnant with Archie and Lili and how it was about seeing “food as medicine”.
On her Confessions of a Female Founder podcast, the Duchess spoke of the benefits of “adaptogens” such as mushrooms but admitted some see the approach as a “little psychedelic and super woo-woo”.
