Soon, you see Prince Harry, 40, joining in on the fun with his own moves, trying to match her energy and even dropping 'down low' with her in a playful moment of connection. 'Four years ago today, this also happened,' Meghan captioned the video. '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!' Earlier in the day, she shared never-before-seen photos of Harry and Lilibet. One black-and-white photo shows her husband holding his newborn daughter shortly after her birth. In another, father and daughter are seen walking barefoot hand in hand down a sandy path with palm trees in the background.

In another post, the Duchess shared throwback black-and-white images of herself and little Lilibet. In one image, you see her holding her daughter closely on her lap while they are on a boat. The other picture shows newborn Lilibet asleep on her mother's chest. In the caption, she 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!" Since her return to Instagram last year, Meghan has been sharing more and more snippets of her private life.

Sabrina Carpenter's 'Manchild': a sassy swipe at ex Barry Keoghan

Sabrina Carpenter has seemingly written a song about her ex-boyfriend Barry Keoghan. "Manchild" is set to be released on Thursday, June 5. Image: Instagram. Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter is turning heads with the announcement of her new single, "Manchild". The "Espresso" hitmaker took to Instagram recently to tease her track, sharing a cheeky message that appears to be directed at her ex-boyfriend, Barry Keoghan. "This one's about you!!" she wrote in the caption. She also confirmed that the much-anticipated track will be released on Thursday, June 5. The lead-up to the single features a vintage-inspired teaser video flaunting Carpenter's flair for retro aesthetics, with the star donning playful daisy dukes paired with classic platform shoes. Fans eagerly awaiting the release were treated to snippets of the lyrics, including the notable line: "Inside of your head when you've just won an argument with a man." Fans are now speculating about the meaning behind the song. Comments poured in, ranging from "And we know who you are talking about diva" to "Clock that Barry boy!!!" Another follower referenced Carpenter's previous hit, "Please Please Please", suggesting that the ex-boyfriend deserved this new lyrical rebuke because he didn't heed her earlier calls for understanding. Carpenter's relationship with Keoghan began in December 2023. The couple made things official when they attended the Met Gala together in May 2024.

Friend and former Generations actor Rantebeng Makapan was one of the speakers at another memorial service for the star earlier this week in the North West. Referring to Chweneyagae by his local nickname, Tobetsa, Makapan said the late actor was a people's person who would have wanted to be celebrated and not mourned. 'He did too many things for us to come here and just cry for him.' ALSO SEE: Presley Chweneyagae: Mourners gathered at Mmabatho like they did in 2018 for HHP
