She called on people to "tell the truth" about her and claimed that the video was a chance for her to share behind the scenes of her "authentic" life.

"Did you see my "Baby Momma" dance? That wasn't yesterday, that was four years ago.
"It's a really great reminder that with all the noise or whatever people do, there's still a whole life - a real, authentic, fun life - that's happening behind the scenes.
"I'm just grateful that now, being back on social as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms."
The footage - released to celebrate Lilibet's fourth birthday on June 3 - showed

Podcast host Emma, founding partner of SKIMS and CEO of Good American, admitted she was shocked to see Prince Harry dancing in the video.
She joked: "We maybe watched it like 20 times yesterday.
"I was like, is that Prince Harry there with the fingers? I was like, okay, Meghan and Harry, let's go.
"But that's you, right? That's you in a way that we kind of haven't been able to see you before."
Emma Grede's Aspire episode with Meghan is set to air today.
She posted it on the social media platform alongside the caption: "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!"
But it was slammed by royal experts as cringey and "hard to watch".
Meghan's twerking video was so cringey it was like parody, but it did exactly what she wanted
Commmentator Ingrid Seward accused The Sussexes of invading their own 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.
'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.'
Meghan's comments came after she shared a rare personal video showing Archie and Lilibet to wish Harry a happy Father's Day.
The compilation showed photos and videos of Harry laughing, dancing and spending time with his children through the years.
Her Father's Day tribute to husband Harry followed the same pattern with the clips of her kids featuring the back of their heads only.
