Meghan Markle shrugs off twerking backlash with carefree beach snap
Meghan Markle has shared a carefree beach snap after she was accused of 'over-sharing' in a 'cringeworthy' video of her twerking to celebrate her daughter's birthday
Meghan Markle has brushed off backlash surrounding her "cringeworthy" twerking video with a carefree beach snap.
The Duchess of Sussex spoke of 'running into the weekend' as she frolicked in the water in her most recent Instagram post on her As Ever account.
The 43-year-old was pictured prancing in the water on a sunny beach, sporting a flowing white sundress as she revealed her excitement 'for all the good to come'.
Just hours earlier, she had shared a series of heartwarming photos featuring herself, Prince Harry, and their children - six-year-old Archie and four-year-old Lilibet - during a memorable family trip to Disneyland.
Sharing the montage with her 3.7million followers, the mother-of-two described their two-day visit as "pure joy" and expressed gratitude to the park for the special experience.
She also highlighted the fun-filled moments the family enjoyed, from thrilling rides to indulging in delicious treats.
Offering a glimpse into their life in the U.S., she included a sweet photo of Archie and Lilibet meeting Elsa from Frozen for the first time, along with a touching shot of Prince Harry and Lilibet sharing a ride together.
This latest social media update follows an earlier post that raised eyebrows - a lighthearted but awkward video of her and Prince Harry dancing in a hospital room in an effort to induce Lilibet's birth.
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'.

Justin Bieber confesses he is 'tired of transactional relationships' amid growing concern
Justin Bieber shared another worrisome post to Instagram on Sunday amid growing concern online from fans over his health. On Saturday morning, the Baby singer, 31, shared two photos to Instagram, including an extreme closeup of his face. 'Tired of transactional relationships,' his captioned the images. 'If I have to do something to be loved, that's not love.' The father-of-one's post seemingly reflects a feeling of emotional exhaustion and disillusionment with relationships based on what he can offer, rather than who he truly is. In response, many of his 294 million followers took to the comment section to express alarm over the statement. 'This post sounds like it's coming from a 20 year old, not from someone who is in their 30s with a wife and kid,' one fan wrote. That same commenter added: 'Love is transactional, that's the point, that's real love. Love is not supposed to be unconditional, unless it's your child. Another described Bieber as 'the britney spears of our generation.' 'You can't love someone who doesn't give you anything to love them for.' The new post comes after Justin shared startling new selfies before referencing a hallucinogenic drug on Saturday. In the caption, Bieber penned to his followers: 'IM ACCEPTING THAT GOD FORGIVES ME THIS MORNING. 'SO CAN I CAN FORGIVE MYSELF AND OTHERS TODAY. JOIN ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE,' Justin concluded followed by a thumbs up emoji. Justin also jumped to his Instagram stories to share more selfies alongside lengthy cryptic messages to his followers - and referenced to the hallucinogenic drug ketamine. He included a screenshot as he asked AI: 'Has ketamine been used to control people's emotions.' The response that popped up claimed that, 'There is clear evidence that ketamine has been misused in certain law enforcement scenarios, particularly in ways that amount to chemical restraint or social control. Another fan aptly said, 'This post sounds like it's coming from a 20 year old, not from someone who is in their 30s with a wife and kid' 'With disproportionate effects on Black individuals. This is a serious public health, legal and racial justice issue.' Justin also wrote over an image of himself which read, 'This is how I feel after people keep telling me theres more work to do after the ive given everything I have to give,' he wrote over one image of himself. Bieber continued, 'I dont think any of us can handle hearing "You just gotta try a little harder and you will be like me." It's not true. I listened to those fools who told me to work harder. 'And there's no end to trying to earn ur spot in this life because I tried. U have everything u need right now.' The pop star also took to Instagram on June 3 with a bizarre post to share his thoughts about telling other people what they do or do not 'deserve.' 'Telling other humans they deserve something is like raising someone else's kids,' he wrote in his latest post. 'Who are you to tell someone what someone should or shouldn't have?' He balked at 'the audacity' and slammed his fans' unsolicited opinions: 'That's not your place. God decides what we deserve.' In response to his post, fans flooded his comments section with messages voicing concern, calling out his 'hypocrisy' and urging him to 'take a social media break.' Many fans seemed to believe he was responding to recent fan comments telling his wife Hailey that she 'deserves better' after his 'disrespectful' posts towards her. This comes after fans criticized his 'Mother's Day sucks a**' post on his wife's first Mother's Day since they welcomed their first child, son Jack Blues Bieber, in August 2024. They also pointed out that he recently admitted he previously told Hailey that she would 'never' land a Vogue cover in a since-deleted caption meant to congratulate his wife on that same, recent accomplishment. He shared the post to his Instagram Story accompanied by Lil Tecca's song OWA OWA, in which he raps about pleasuring his partner and 'making it clear to his significant other that his time and presence should not be taken for granted,' per Genius. One fan commented on the Peaches singer's post and wrote: 'Justin. You told Hailey she couldn't be on a cover of Vogue, isn't that telling her she can't have something?' 'Didn't you just tell this girl she couldn't be on Vogue,' another fan wrote. Similar comments flooded his post. One person asked him: 'Brother didn't you tell your wife she could never be on the cover of Vogue???' Another person added, 'Take a break from social media, Justin.' 'I think you should leave God out of this and grow up,' one Instagram user penned. 'God told me you need a social media break,' another fan commented. Justin's recent posts come amid concern about not only his marriage but his mental wellbeing regarding his increasingly bizarre behavior. After Hailey's Rhode beauty brand was acquired in a $1 billion deal last week, many fans started telling her to divorce Justin now that she has found fame and fortune on her own. Though many of the posts were apparent jokes, the couple have been entangled in rumors of marital woes while Justin has been on the receiving end of substantial backlash. The pair have been married nearly seven years after they tied the knot in 2018. Last year, they welcomed their first child together, son Jack Blues Bieber, who will turn one in August.

Mel B and Eddie Murphy's child Angel, 18, is now living as a trans man
The child of Spice Girl Melanie 'Mel B' Brown and Hollywood legend Eddie Murphy has changed his pronouns on social media and is living as a trans man. Angel Brown, 18, is the only child from Mel, 50, and Eddie's brief yet high profile 2006 relationship. Born in 2007 – after they had split up – Angel was the subject of a public paternity dispute between the Spice Girl and the Norbit actor. Including Angel, the Nutty Professor star, 64, has 10 children with five different women. They are Eric, Bria, Christian, Myles, Shayne, Zola Ivy, Bella Zahara, Izzy Oona, and Max. Meanwhile Mel shares Phoenix Brown with ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar, and Madison Brown Belafonte with her other ex-Stephen Belafonte. Following the resolution of their paternity dispute, Mel and Eddie agreed upon a support settlement in 2009 – and Eddie now shares a warm relationship with both Mel and Angel. Weeks after his 18th birthday, Angel has updated his pronouns on Instagram – to support from both his famous mum and dad. Visible on the autobiographical section of his Instagram profile, Angel's pronoun now reads 'him' next to his name and profile picture. Of the milestone, a source told MailOnline: 'It's a decision Angel made and Mel has been understanding, likewise Eddie. 'There was no big event to mark it. Angel just wanted it to be known what pronouns are now suitable.' Last month, former Scary Spice Mel posted a loving message in celebration of Angel's 18th birthday to her own Instagram, sharing a selection of pics throughout his life. 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY ANGEL !!!' the America's Got Talent judge captioned the post. 'I cannot believe youre [sic] 18 You are so special and so bright and so talented!! I couldnt be prouder of watching you grow and become the person you are but youll forever be my babyyyy 'I hop [sic] you keep chasing yor [sic] dreams and be kind to everyone around you like you always have been my Angel 'Love you always ❤️❤️❤️' she signed off. Weeks later, she celebrated her own 50th, and was pictured with Angel and fiancé Rory McPhee at her side. Earlier this year, Mel spoke out about how co-parenting with her famous ex had 'flourished' in recent months. Reflecting on how her PTSD and experiences with coercive control impacted her co-parenting relationship with Eddie, Mel told US Weekly: 'I think being in the kind of [situation] that I was in, it was hard for me to step out and have that relationship flourish. I managed to do it bit by bit.' With Mel now settled down in Leeds with hairdresser Rory, 36, Angel now divides his time between England and his dad's Beverly Hills home. 'Angel is coming over [to Murphy's house]. They spend time together. They go on holiday together. He has [10] kids and he's a proper father,' Mel said. Mel went on to speak about Angel's interest in 'art and Japanese culture' noting to the publication that he keeps 'very much to himself'. More Trending She added: 'He went to Japan last year with his girlfriend and just embraced the whole Japanese vibe,' the TV personality says. '[Angel] speaks fluent Japanese and he knows exactly what he wants to do and where he wants to go.' In her 2018 memoir Brutally Honest, Mel described the Shrek star as 'the love of my life,' writing: 'He's a genuinely decent man.' He may have initially questioned Angel as his own offspring, but Eddie has very much come around since – posing for a Christmas card in 2018 with all 10 of his children, with Angel front and centre.

The 47-year-old revealed it would be their "home from home" with a view to spending an increasing amount of time there.

Katy continued: "But we came to the conclusion that life is too short and being able to save up the date nights and escape here when life gives you a breather rather than having to always plan ahead just felt like the ultimate dream … and worth accepting that the bulldogs will always own the only sofa at home for. "We will give you all a proper tour very soon but for now we are off to go and shop for paint and hoovers in the sunshine!! How crazy is that?!!!"
