Meghan Markle Defended Over Wild Fake Bump Theory
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Meghan Markle dancing while heavily pregnant in a hospital room led to a bizarre debate over her baby bump. The Duchess of Sussex posted a clip of herself doing Starrkeisha's "Baby Mama" dance while overdue with Princess Lilibet in the hope of inducing labor. For years, detractors on social media have argued Meghan faked her two pregnancies and seized on the shape of the royal's bump as new evidence. However, other mothers came to Meghan's defense, using their own pregnancy photos to argue her bump looked as expected. Why It Matters Meghan and Harry have faced numerous rumors and conspiracy theories, from talk of a secret divorce that Newsweek fact-checked as "false" to unfounded speculation that she faked her pregnancies. These social media trends can be difficult for Meghan and Harry to counter without amplifying those attacks, a phenomenon known in the PR industry as the Streisand effect. However, grassroots efforts by ordinary people, particularly those who are not dedicated fans of the duchess, may prove more successful.

ANGELA WEISS/AFP via Getty Images What To Know Some on social media argued Meghan's bump appeared fake because of its shape but one ordinary mom went viral after stating any bumps were simply a baby heart monitor strapped to the duchess. She wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "I seldom post my pics but I will to defend Meghan @KensingtonRoyal. This is me literally at the hospital just before giving birth. Notice the bumps around my belly? That's is a fetal heart monitor wrapped in cloth. Notice I'm also wearing a dress for my comfort. Leave Meg alone." I seldom post my pics but I will to defend Meghan @KensingtonRoyal. This is me literally at the hospital just before giving birth. Notice the bumps around my belly? That's is a fetal heart monitor wrapped in cloth. Notice I'm also wearing a dress for my comfort. Leave Meg alone. — A Chaotic Good (@NeuroPoetica) June 6, 2025 The post was viewed 491,000 times and liked 10,000 times. It was published in answer to another user who had suggested Meghan had "a blanket up her dress" in the video. What People Are Saying One account described Meghan as having "the lumpiest looking bump I've ever seen," but health care professionals have said that all bumps look different. Pip Davies, an NHS midwife, The Sun: "Everybody carries differently, and factors like muscle tone, baby's position, and even your height can affect how your bump looks and this can change regularly with time of day, day on day or week on week. "Some bumps are high and round, others are low and wide, but all perfectly healthy and unique. "What matters most is that you and your baby are doing well, not how your bump compares to anyone else's." Meghan Markle's 'Baby Mama' Dance Video The duchess posted footage from her pregnancy with Lilibet to her Instagram account to mark her daughter's fourth birthday. She 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!"

Royal family's reaction to Meghan Markle's ‘tragic' twerking video revealed: ‘…they have lost it'
Buckingham Palace has reportedly seen the now-viral video of Meghan Markle twerking while she was pregnant with Princess Lilibet, with a source telling the Daily Mail that the royal family believes she and Prince Harry have 'lost it' and that the clip is classless and 'tragic.'. The video in question shows Meghan twerking with her baby bump. According to Maureen Callahan in the Mail, a source told her that the King and Queen are horrified by the video. "There is a general sense [in the Palace] that they have lost it,' the source said, adding that the clip caused "a lot of raised eyebrows." '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!' Meghan captioned the Instagram video, which also shows her husband joining her in the dance. The video was filmed as Meghan was trying to induce labor and was shared to mark Lilibet's birthday. Meghan has been heavily criticized ever since she dropped the video. Insiders believe the royal couple shared the video to shut trolls who claimed they surrogated their children. However, the video has only reignited these conspiracy theories, with some claiming it is mentally and physically impossible to do what Meghan was doing in the video while being pregnant. Washington-based foreign policy expert Nile Gardiner, who often weighs in on Harry and Meghan, said on X, 'This is insane. The Queen would have been appalled.' Callahan, meanwhile, blasted Meghan using scathing words. "Truly: what's more royal, more regal — more befitting an American woman who married into her title and never lets us forget that she is a duchess — than releasing a home movie of yourself lifting up your dress, spreading your legs and gyrating while on the verge of giving birth?" she wrote. Harry had notably mentioned the moment in his controversial memoir, Spare. He wrote, speaking about Lilibet's birth, "[There was] nothing but joy and love in that room. We ate and ate and then did the Baby Mama dance around the hospital room."

Despite the backlash over her dodgy dancing with Harry to the soundtrack of Starrkeisha's Baby Mama song, defiant Meghan is thrilled by the reaction in America. A source told MailOnline: "Meghan doesn't care about the haters in Britain calling her vulgar. Americans thought the twerking video was hilarious and relatable." One person wrote on X: "Oh my. That's really just awful," while another user joked: "They are cringe to the max… I feel nauseous." Others claimed the Sussexes were making a mockery of their royal titles by sharing the video, with one writing: "Good grief, these people have titles. Ruining the reputation and respect of the Royal Family, one Instagram post at a time." However, others sharing their thoughts on the video, praisied their fun and caring relationship and were delighted to see it.

Meghan is about to launch a series of new products as part of her As Ever line – including rosé wine. The source added: "She and her team count it [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."
