Meghan Markle shares delivery room twerking video to celebrate daughter Lilibet's birthday
Turning four is a big deal and Meghan Markle is celebrating daughter Lilibet achieving the milestone with an Instagram blitz of intimate photos — and even a video of her and Prince Harry dancing in the delivery room on the day she was born.
In an extraordinary insight into their private lives, the former senior royals can be seen in a viral TikTok-style video busting a move.
Meghan and Harry are known to fiercely guard the privacy of Lilibet and Archie but appear to have changed their tune.
Clutching her very pregnant belly and with an IV port in her left arm, in the video, Meghan looks calm and happy as she twerks to The Baby Momma Dance by Starrkeisha from 2013.
Prince Harry also makes an appearance throwing down his best dad moves.

Meghan joked that the dancing was a last resort to bring on the birth, given Lilibet was a week overdue at the time.
'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!' Meghan wrote alongside the video.
Meghan has also shared a photo of a touching moment between Prince Harry and his then baby daughter lovingly making eye contact and another of the pair barefoot and dressed casually walking on a dirt road while holding hands.
'The sweetest bond to watch unfold. Daddy's little girl and favorite adventurer,' she wrote.
The first social media post in the birthday photo blitz was of Meghan, apparently on a boat, make-up free and with windswept hair cuddling Lili.
'Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today she came into our lives - and each day is brighter and better because of it. Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day!'
Lilibet is Meghan and Prince Harry second child, their first, Archie, is two years older. She was born on June 4, 2021 — a year after the pair's infamous 'Megxit' from the UK and royal duties.
Her full name is Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, a nod to Prince Harry's grandmother Queen Elizabeth and his mother Princess Diana.

Meghan shares video of Lilibet's Disneyland celebration
The Duchess of Sussex has shared another intimate video of the family celebrating Princess Lilibet's fourth birthday at Disneyland. The post on Instagram showed the family enjoying rides at the California attraction, drawing comparisons with Prince Harry's childhood trip to Florida's Walt Disney World with Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1993. The montage also features a clip of Archie, six, and Lili meeting Disney princess Elsa, from the film Frozen. Meghan wears a Minnie Mouse hat in some of the snaps featured in the video, while another image shows a two-tier Little Mermaid-themed birthday cake for Lili. The duchess captioned the video: "Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!" The footage was reminiscent of photos taken of the duke when he was eight and his mother Diana took him and William to Walt Disney World. At the time, the royal siblings were photographed sitting at the front of a log on the Splash Mountain ride, with adults from their mother's entourage behind them and Diana seated at the back. Meghan's post follows several family shots in recent days to mark Lili's birthday. In one, she posted a throwback video of herself twerking in a bid to bring on labour while pregnant with the princess, while another post featured a black and white snap of her cuddling Lili. In another post, she described how Lili's relationship with Harry was "the sweetest bond to watch unfold". She shared two photos of the princess with her father, the duke, adding: "Daddy's little girl and favorite adventurer. Happy birthday Lili!" Lili - the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's youngest child - was born on June 4 2021 and was named Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor. Lilibet is named after her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Madonna 'was down to mud wrestle Miranda Kerr' in music video
Madonna "was down" to mud wrestle in Miley Cyrus' '4×4' music video. The 32-year-old pop star has revealed that she convinced a group of her showbiz pals, including Madonna, to star in the music video for '4×4'. Appearing on the 'Every Single Album' podcast, Miley explained: "I had everyone already lined up. Nelly … Madonna was down to do the video, Miranda Cosgrove. "This was before Taylor [Swift] had a lot of famous people in her crew. I was friends with famous people first. I wanted to do that. I had a f****** squad, and my squad was very, very cool." Madonna, 66, volunteered to mud wrestle Miranda Kerr in the music video. But Miley's plans were ultimately scuppered by RCA, her record label at the time. The chart-topping pop star recalled: "Madonna was down to mud wrestle with Miranda Kerr. "I was like, 'I'm gonna get all these girls, all these supermodels, all these Victoria's Secret models and all of these pop icons to come to my dad's farm, get in the back of 4x4s, and we're gonna mud wrestle, and we're gonna go out and do doughnuts." Meanwhile, Miley previously admitted to being inspired by Pamela Anderson. The singer has always been a huge fan of the 'Baywatch' actress, and Miley admitted to being wowed by Pamela's distinctive appearance during her younger years. In a video posted on Instagram, Miley told Pamela: "Ever since I was little, it was only Pam when people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grow up. I would say you. And the whole thing. The tattoos, the hair, all of it ... That's all I wanted to do." Miley has also been amazed by Pamela's evolution over the years. The 'Flowers' hitmaker - who has enjoyed significant success as a singer and as an actress - explained: "I've had so many different pivots and evolutions and - one might say - detours within my path. But it always ends up coming back around to make the next stage of who we are. Something that's more potent, something that's more real."

Mother Mother refuse to 'pander to the TikTok era' after going viral
Mother Mother will never "pander to the TikTok era" with their songwriting. The Canadian rockers - who have exceeded nine billion streams globally - found themselves going viral on the video-sharing platform in 2020, after their 2008 song Hayloft was used in edits, cosplay, and creative transitions. As a result, the group dropped Hayloft II, which also became a hit. Frontman Ryan Guldemond subsequently noticed on Reddit that some people were critcising them for going after commercial success with their music - but he insists that couldn't be farther from the truth. He told "I was reading people saying, 'Oh, they pander to the TikTok era with their new writing.' And it's like, Huh? I don't think that's true. If anything, it's the opposite, like, yeah, you know, the TikTok thing came along and made a bunch of songs that were really unviable, commercially famous, and that was to us that sent a message like, Oh, just be yourself. Like, just write from the heart and follow your whims. And that's the best thing you can do, is to be just totally authentic. And if that means you're writing kind of weird, unconventional songs, then so be it." The 'Finger' singer insists the whole TikTok viral experience taught them to "reject writing strategically for anything". He continued: "And so I've sort of taken that message and really ran with it, because I agree. I think the best thing anybody can do, whether you're writing a song or just, I don't know, whatever in life, just to be who you are. So I'm grateful for the TikTok thing, for sending that message, and if anything, yeah, like I said, it has made us reject writing strategically for anything." Mother Mother returned on June 6 with their new album 'Nostalgia', comprised of songs old and new to mark their 20th anniversary. Stream 'Nostalgia' now on all major streaming platforms.
