‘Huge hit': How Meghan feels about massive reaction to ‘dancing' video
IN LONDON It caused a storm of controversy and divided viewers all over the world, but Meghan and her team are reportedly thrilled by the response to her birthing suite twerking video. The throwback video, which was posted on her Instagram account last week in honour of her and Prince Harry's daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday, shows the couple dancing to viral anthem Baby Mama in a bid to bring on labour. '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!' she captioned it. It attracted plenty of both mockery and support, but also managed to rack up thousands of likes and millions of views. 'Meghan is very pleased with the video,' a source close to Harry and Meghan told the Daily Mail. 'In the UK, everyone's reaction has been a bit prudish, but everywhere else, particularly in America and especially with young people, it has been a huge hit. 'She and her team count [the video] as a 'win,' which can only be a boost for sales. Her new products are marketed at Americans and not at the UK market.' The video was part of a broader trend of Meghan posting more intimate and personal content of her personal life amid the launch of her new lifestyle business. She also shared a highlights video of herself and Harry with their two kids, Lili and her brother Archie, 6, enjoying a visit to Disneyland last week, describing it in the caption as 'two days of pure joy'. It was also reported this week that Meghan has plans to add hotels and restaurants to her growing empire, with The Sun revealing that she has trademarked her As Ever brand for 'hospitality services'. It will include places to stay, 'provision of food and drink', and temporary lodgings. It's certainly on theme for Meghan's regularly-expressed love of hosting, with the duchess remarking in the premiere episode of her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan: 'When I have someone stay, one of my favourite things to do is prep the guest room.' Over the weekend, her As Ever page posted a picture of her running through the sea in a white dress, with the caption: 'So excited for all the good to come! Running into the weekend like [wave emoji].'

Brooke Shields' podcast episode criticising ‘precious' Meghan is quietly deleted
Don't miss out on the headlines from Royals. Followed categories will be added to My News. IN LONDON One week after its headline-grabbing release, the podcast in which Brooke Shields called out Meghan for being too 'precious' has been deleted. The actress, 60, was interviewed by India Hicks for an episode of her podcast recently, which appears to now no longer be available online. Hicks is the goddaughter of Meghan's father-in-law, King Charles. The original podcast link currently takes users to a 'page not found' message on the content creator's Substack. During the conversation, Shields had reflected on her experience sharing a panel with the Duchess of Sussex, hosted by Katie Couric and titled 'Breaking Barriers, Shaping Narratives: How Women Lead On and Off the Screen', which took place during last year's SXSW festival. Meghan, Couric and Shields during the panel. Picture:'Katie asks the first question to Meghan and she talks about how at a young age, she was already advocating for women,' Shields told Hicks on her An Unexpected Journey podcast. 'She starts telling a story about how when she was 11 — and she keeps saying, 'Well, when I was 11, I saw this commercial and they were talking about how washing dishes was for women' And she said, 'I didn't think only women wash dishes. It wasn't fair, so I wrote to the company.'' 'She kept saying she was 11!' Shields exclaimed. 'She wrote to the company, they changed the text, they changed the commercial. It was just too precious, and I was like, 'They're not going to want to sit here for 45 minutes and listen to anybody be precious or serious.'' It prompted Shields to jump in an effort to lighten the mood. 'I go, 'Excuse me, I'm so sorry, I've got to interrupt you there for one minute.' I was trying not to be rude, but I wanted to be funny because it was so serious,' she recalled. 'I just want to give everybody here a context as to how we're different. When I was 11, I was playing a prostitute,' referencing her 1978 historical drama, Pretty Baby. 'The place went insane', Shields added, with the crowd becoming 'more relaxed'. Shields – seen here earlier this month – described Meghan as being too 'precious'. Picture: Ilya S. Savenok/Getty Images The episode has now been deleted.

She opened up about it at the 2019 International Women's Day panel at SXSW, explaining that the ad – originally featuring the slogan 'Women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans' – had been a formative feminist experience. 'Truth be told, at 11 I don't think I even knew what sexism meant. I just knew that something struck me internally that was telling me it was wrong, and I knew that it was wrong,' she said at the time. 'And using that as my moral compass and moving through from the age of 11, at that age I was able to change this commercial. It really set up the trajectory for me to say, 'If there was a wrong, if there is a lack of justice, and there is an inequality, then someone needs to do something. And why not me?'' The company, Procter & Gamble changed the slogan to 'People all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans.'
