Meghan posts video of herself twerking while heavily pregnant with Lilibet
In the clip, a heavily pregnant Meghan is shown dancing in a hospital room to the Starrkeisha song Baby Momma, alongside the Duke of Sussex.
Meghan posted on her Instagram to celebrate Lili's fourth birthday on Wednesday, writing: '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!'
The candid video, which runs for more than a minute, also features Harry, who is seen dancing in and out of the frame.
He is beckoned in by Meghan as the pair dance together, with the duke appearing at the end with the hood of his grey hoodie up as he continues his dance moves.
Meghan is wearing a black maternity dress and cradles her large bump as she dances, as well as lifting her skirt above her knees, raising her hands in the air and wiggling low with her hands on her hips and legs.
The release of the footage is one of the more unusual ways a member of the royal family has marked a royal birthday.
Earlier, the duchess posted never-before-seen intimate family photos of 'Daddy's little girl and favorite adventurer' Lili.
Meghan shared a black-and-white snap of herself cuddling the princess, who was sat on her lap, with the pair both sporting windswept hair, seemingly on a boat.
Another image showed Meghan tenderly cradling newborn Lili as she enjoyed skin-to-skin time with the new addition to her family in 2021.
In a later post, she described how Lili's relationship with Harry was 'the sweetest bond to watch unfold'.
The duchess shared two further photos, showing the princess with her father, the duke, adding: 'Daddy's little girl and favorite adventurer. Happy birthday Lili!'
One picture was of Harry holding and gazing at his swaddled daughter as a newborn and the other captured the duke and Lili walking hand in hand and barefoot along a sandy path, surrounded by palm trees and under blue skies.
Meghan also wrote: '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!'
The duchess usually only shares photos of her daughter pictured from behind to protect her privacy, but in the photo of her cuddling the princess, Lili's eyes and the top half of her face could be seen, with her nose and mouth and the rest of her face covered by Meghan's arms as she hugged the princess.

Alison Hammond shuts down bizarre pregnancy claim in best way possible
Alison Hammond has shut down speculation that she's pregnant in the most hilarious way possible after false rumours spread online. The Great British Bake-Off and This Morning host, 50, has reportedly been the subject of false AI-generated stories that are claiming she's with child. Alison has one child – her son Aidan who was born in 2005 – but she appears to be determined not to have any more if her latest comments are anything to go by. Naturally, Alison has responded to the pregnancy rumours with good spirit and humour, taking to social media to deny them in the best way possible. Posting to her Instagram account, which has 1.7 million followers, she said: 'Lots of AI stories online about me being pregnant, I can confirm I am not having a baby.' She continued: '[I'm definitely not pregnant] as I'm not sure my 50-year-old womb could take it. However, I do think we should all dance like Meghan.' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The statement was accompanied by a video of Alison dancing around her living room after stuffing her dress with a giant pillow to mimic a pregnant belly. Referencing the already famous video of Meghan Markle dancing while heavily pregnant with daughter Princess Lillibet, Alison busted a move or two while waving her hands in the air like she just didn't care. In the video, which was taken four years ago, the heavily pregnant Duchess of Sussex is shown dancing in a hospital room to the sound of Starrkeisha song Baby Momma. Meghan posted on her Instagram to celebrate Lili's fourth birthday on Wednesday, writing: '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!' The happy video has (of course) drawn some criticism on social media after Meghan was seen to twerk at one point, with online users criticising her behaviour. For Metro, Kirsty Ketley argued back: '[The video] shows something powerful: joy. A woman, supported by her partner, using music and laughter to cope with one of the most intense moments of their life.' Commenting on Alison's video, Bryony Gordon called Alison 'our queen' while Lisa Snowden applauded, celebrated, and laughed at the clip with a group of emojis. More Trending Scottish radio presenter Jenni Falconer commented saying 'You are just brilliant' and added three big love hearts in her message to Alison. Alison's son Aidan, now 19, was born in 2005 when the Big Weekend presenter was engaged to Noureddine Boufaied – the couple split in 2014. She confessed, 'I felt that failure with [Noureddine] when we broke up, but he moved on and has three other kids now and they are part of our life,' but revealed that they have successfully co-parented over the years.

Meghan & Harry keep cashing in by piggybacking off the royal family – it's disgusting, expert says
Despite trying to "reinvent themselves", the pair are yet to settle on a particular niche MONEY MAD Meghan & Harry keep cashing in by piggybacking off the royal family – it's disgusting, expert says MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry keep raking in money by "piggybacking off" the royal family, slammed a royal expert. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as senior working royals in 2020 and quit the UK.

Harry, alongside his wife, has continued to drag his family name through the mud, from their 2021 Orpah interview to his 2023 memoir Spare. And, the latest blow to their fractured relationship came when the Duke of Sussex dropped some extraordinary bombshells in a BBC interview last month. He filmed a rare sit-down chat after losing his appeal against the decision to remove his taxpayer-funded security. Advertisement But since turning their backs on the Royal Family, the Sussexes have also battled several stumbling blocks while trying to carve out their new identities. Meghan, 43, has this year released her latest Netflix series With Love, Meghan, in which she hosted Hollywood pals. Shortly after came the roll out of her brand As Ever, despite the company facing a series of setbacks. The mum-of-two then dropped her second podcast, Confessions Of A Female Founder. Advertisement Harry meanwhile has been busy working on his Polo documentary on Netflix, and as ever his Invictus Games. But despite trying to "reinvent themselves", the pair are yet to settle on a particular niche, experts blasted previously. I've dubbed Lilibet the 'jigsaw girl', Meghan's bizarre photos shows exactly why Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive Show, esteemed former royal correspondent Charles Rae accused the Duchess of still using the Royal Family for profit. "I've got no objections to Meghan and Harry making money," he told esteemed royal correspondent Bronte Coy. Advertisement "None whatsoever. However they want to operate now is fine. "It's their royal connections that really irritate me. And they're piggybacking off of that a great deal. 6 Meghan is also dropping weekly episodes on her new podcast Confessions of a Female Founder Credit: Meghan, Duchess of Sussex/Instagram 6 The couple have launched a barrage of attacks on the Royal Family since quitting the UK Credit: AFP Advertisement 6 The pair stepped down as senior working royals in 2020 Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk "But I think Meghan is the one who's driving everything. "And I think she will eventually come a cropper with all this. "I mean, she says, 'I don't want to annoy the public'. Well, why not? Advertisement "She's annoyed everybody else. You know, I mean, you know, she's. she's a very annoying person in my view." But fellow expert Sarah Hewson, added: "I think it is in everyone's interest if she is able to make a success of this and make money off the back of this, because we know they've got a very expensive lifestyle, not least the security costs. "And Prince Harry just having lost that court of appeal case, it is in everyone's interest, the Royal Family included, if they are able to be self-sufficient, if they're able to build a life, Prince Harry can do his philanthropy. "Meghan can launch the business. I mean, I think that suits everybody." Advertisement Royal experts previously slammed Meghan for using her royal title on a gift card, telling her "you can't have it both ways". Meghan and Prince Harry agreed they wouldn't use their HRH titles after they broke from the royal family - but the Duchess of Sussex seemingly still uses it with her friends. But, in a recent podcast interview, a photo showed a gift basket of ice cream and strawberry sauce Meghan sent to Kern Lima a year ago. With it came a note on monogrammed paper, signed: "With the compliments of HRH the Duchess of Sussex." Advertisement Sources said that while Meghan and Harry do still have their titles, they agreed not to use them for "commercial purposes". The source said the note was a "personal gift" but the couple don't publicly use HRH. Meghan also awkwardly corrected her Hollywood pal Mindy Kaling on her cooking show. A timeline of Prince Harry's family feud IN 2018, the Sun told how "simmering tension The first hints of friction reportedly came after William was introduced to Meghan when she was staying at Kensington Palace. Once she'd returned home to Canada, William and Harry sat down for a brother-to-brother chat. He knew Harry was already head-over-heels for her but it has been claimed he advised him to take it slowly. The younger prince reportedly didn't take too kindly to the advice, with one royal source saying he "went mental". Then in June 2019 Harry and Meghan officially split off from the charity they shared with William and Kate. The Royal Foundation will be divided between the Sussexes and Cambridges as the couples focus on their own separate charitable endeavours. Prince William and Prince Harry first established the Royal Foundation in 2009 before Kate joined two years later shortly after their engagement was announced. The trio would often appear together at events and the Foundation had huge successes with projects like the Invictus Games for injured veterans and the mental health Heads Together campaign. The Royal Foundation said the decision was made following the conclusion of a review into its structure - but added both couples will continue to work together in the future. Harry and Meg were living in close proximity to Kate and Wills within the Kensington Palace estate, but they switched to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor before baby Archie was born. The move further increased rumours of a fallout. Harry also hinted in his ITV documentary "Harry and Meghan, An African Journey" that he and his brother had grown apart. In 2021, Harry and Meghan give their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey where Harry accused his dad of cutting him off financially. Harry then jetted back to UK to join William in unveiling a statue to their mother Princess Diana in the grounds of Kensington Palace. But sources claimed William didn't want to attend the memorial amid their ongoing rift. In 2022, just before their grandmother the Queen died, sources claimed Kate acts as a "peacemaker" between the brothers. Harry claimed his brother "knocked him to the floor" during an argument about Meghan, in his memoir. In Spare, Harry said William branded Meghan "rude" and "difficult" during a row. Harry alleged William "grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor". He said he was left with a visible injury to his back following the argument in 2019 at Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, where he was living at the time. In January 2024, Harry flew in to be with Charles after the monarch's shock cancer diagnosis. Harry flew back to the US the following day - without seeing Wills. Mindy said: "People wouldn't believe that Meghan Markle ate at Jack in the Box." Advertisement Meghan fired back with: "It's so funny, too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I'm Sussex now.' The late Queen Elizabeth II honoured Harry and Meghan the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex for their 2018 wedding. There have been calls for the couple to be stripped of the titles after blasting the royals on their Oprah Winfrey tell-all, six-part Netflix series Harry & Meghan and shock memoir Spare. The California-based pair have also attracted criticism for only visiting Sussex once when they held several engagements seven years ago. Advertisement This comes after the Sussexes were last night blasted for invading their own privacy after releasing a video of them twerking to induce labour. The mum-of-two posted a cringey hospital dance clip yesterday to celebrate daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday. It showed the former actress, heavily pregnant with their second child, making rowing movements and shimmying her shoulders beside a bed. Prince Harry also shuffles across in a hoodie to the strains of then-viral pregnancy hit The Baby Momma Dance. Advertisement Meghan shared the 80-second video with her three million followers on Instagram after earlier posting photos of her daughter. But royal expert Ingrid Seward last night said Meghan was a hypocrite as the couple regularly whine about a lack of privacy. She told The Sun: 'They can do what they like but why put it online? "Does Meghan have no boundaries? I think it's vulgar, unnecessary, attention-seeking. Advertisement 'They make such a point about privacy and security and then they put stuff out there. Meghan can't resist putting it out there. 'I think it's completely hypocritical for everything she stands for. It's very embarrassing.'

This Morning's Alison Hammond speaks out over pregnancy speculation
This Morning host Alison Hammond has addressed speculation that she's pregnant in a post on social media in which she referenced Meghan Markle's delivery room dance video Presenter Alison Hammond has addressed apparent speculation that she's pregnant. The This Morning host reacted in a message to fans on social media this afternoon. Alison, 50, is already a parent to son Aidan Hammond, 20, from a previous relationship. The presenter, who is in a relationship with David Putman, 27, took to Instagram earlier to address the prospect of having another pregnancy. She wrote in a post: "Lots of Ai stories online about me being pregnant, I can confirm I am not having a baby as I'm not sure my 50 year old womb could take it. However I do think we should all dance like Meghan!!" Her comment comes after Meghan Markle, 43, shared footage of herself and Prince Harry, 40, dancing together in a delivery room prior to the birth of their daughter Princess Lilibet, now four, in 2021. She posted the video for Lilibet's birthday earlier this week. Alison poked fun at the speculation over herself and appeared to impersonate Meghan in a video that accompanied her denial that she's pregnant. She was seen dancing around in a living room as the song Baby Mama, which featured in Meghan's video, played over the clip. The post was quickly met with support, including attracting likes from pal Josie Gibson and former colleague Holly Willoughby. There was reaction in the comments section on the platform, with many people sharing their amusement. Jenni Falconer wrote: "You are just brilliant." Alexandra Burke and Dr Punam Krishan were among the celebrities who reacted with laughing emojis. Whilst Amanda Holden shared three heart-eyed emojis alongside a laughing one. One fan wrote: "Love it." Another commented: "Just brilliant." Sharing their thoughts, one follower said: "Hysterical." Whilst someone said: "You and Meghan dancing together would be the ultimate video. Make it happen Alison." Alison shared a link to the post on her Instagram Story too. She used an emoji that read "fake news" over the top of it and clarified in the caption: "I am not pregnant." Meghan wrote in the caption of her video just days ago: "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!"
