My pregnant twerking was ‘authentic', says Duchess of Sussex
The Duchess of Sussex has described a video of herself twerking while pregnant with Princess Lilibet as 'authentic'. The Duchess, 43, faced backlash after posting the 80-second video on social media earlier this month to celebrate her daughter's fourth birthday. She claimed she performed the dance move, which involves hip-thrusting while in a squat position, to induce birth for her daughter, who is seventh in line to the British throne. The video attracted criticism online as people claimed it was inappropriate and at odds with her previous claims about wanting privacy. 'You have to be authentic' Addressing the video for the first time, the Duchess said she was thankful that she is able to share her 'authentic' life. She told Emma Grede, a British businesswoman, in the latest episode of her Aspire Podcast: 'You have to be authentic. Did you see my 'Baby Momma' dance? That was four years ago. 'So it's also 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.' TikTok trend In the video, Meghan can be seen cradling her stomach before looking over at the Duke of Sussex and starting to dance to Baby Mama Dance by Mic Drop Mama. The song, which includes the lyrics 'drop it down, drop it down down low', was the focus of a TikTok trend where pregnant women showcased their dance moves at 39 weeks (nine months). It is not confirmed that dance moves such as twerking induce labour, but some induction tips will include being as mobile as possible. 'Only one thing left to do' In the Instagram caption, Meghan wrote: '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!' Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born on 4 June 2021. The Duke and Duchess have guarded their children's privacy since moving to the US in 2020, but the Duchess has often featured them on her Instagram with their faces hidden. In another preview of the podcast, which is set to be released on Tuesday, Meghan was asked if she would change anything given the opportunity to start over. She responded: 'Yes, I would ask people to tell the truth.'
