Prince Harry fondly recalls a joyful moment dancing with a heavily pregnant Meghan Markle in a maternity ward back in 2021. This touching memory, originally shared in his 2023 memoir Spare, has now been brought to life for fans through a rare video posted by Meghan on Instagram on June 4.
The clip captures the couple playfully dancing to the viral TikTok song “Baby Mama” inside a hospital room, just before the birth of their daughter, Princess Lilibet. Meghan, 43, can be seen lightly twerking, while Harry, 40, hoodie up, joins in with equal enthusiasm.
In Spare, Harry describes the moment as filled with “nothing but joy and love,” sharing how they enjoyed food and laughter before breaking out into the Baby Mama dance. The Instagram post, part of a heartfelt tribute to Lilibet’s fourth birthday, featured Meghan’s caption: “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!”
This video reveals a candid glimpse into the couple’s lighter side during an emotional and intense time. It also highlights their openness to alternative methods to induce labor. In fact, Harry had previously shared in Spare that the pair tried several natural remedies, from acupuncture to bumpy car rides with their son Archie, now six years old.
Meghan’s embrace of holistic health extends beyond pregnancy. On her podcast Confessions of a Female Founder, she recently discussed her use of adaptogens such as medicinal mushrooms, acknowledging that some people find these remedies “a little psychedelic and super woo-woo.”
This intimate dance video not only celebrates the arrival of their daughter but also showcases the couple’s strong bond and lightheartedness amidst the challenges of parenthood and public life. Fans continue to appreciate these personal glimpses into the Sussexes’ journey, strengthening their connection to the beloved duo.
