The Duchess of Sussex has shared a video of her dancing with Prince Harry while she was heavily pregnant with Princess Lilibet.
On Instagram she said it was taken in a hospital room in 2021 when she was trying to induce labour. 'Both of our children were a week past their due dates,' she said. 'So when spicy food, all that walking and acupuncture didn't work — there was only one thing left to do'.
It comes after she also shared rare pictures of Lilibet to celebrate her child's fourth birthday.
Meghan and Harry have been protective of their children's privacy and rarely share photos displaying the full faces of Lilibet or Archie, six.
But on Wednesday Meghan shared four black-and-white photos of herself and Harry with her daughter, including one that appears to have been taken shortly after she gave birth. In it, Meghan gazes down at baby Lilibet, who is wrapped in a blanket.

Another image shows an older Lilibet on what appears to be a boat. Both mother and daughter have tousled hair as they embrace. In the caption, Meghan 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!'
Later she posted photos of Harry and Lilibet — one taken shortly after her birth and another with the pair walking together.
It comes a few weeks after Meghan shared pictures of her children and herself while she was pregnant in a post to celebrate the couple's seven-year wedding anniversary.
Some of the images showed Archie and Lilibet's faces. Other pictures included Meghan when heavily pregnant with Archie, as well as an ultrasound scan. A later image shows Archie kissing his younger sister's forehead.
Last week Meghan also shared a video of her harvesting honey with Lilibet, both dressed in beekeepers' outfits for protection.
Meghan has been sharing select glimpses of the family's life since relaunching her Instagram at the beginning of this year. Since then, she has released a Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, a lifestyle brand, As Ever, and a podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder.
Last month, Harry said in an interview with the BBC that he wanted to 'reconcile' with the King, but his father would not speak to him because of the legal action around his security in the UK. He also said he 'can't see a world' in which he would bring Meghan or their children back to Britain.
