Meghan Markle finally breaks silence on ‘cringe’

Earlier this month, Meghan Markle shared a throwback video of herself and Prince Harry dancing and twerking in a hospital delivery room before the birth of their daughter, Princess Lilibet. The clip, posted on Lilibet’s fourth birthday, was intended as a joyful tribute. Meghan explained that after trying various methods to induce labor, dancing was their last resort. While many fans praised the video for its authenticity and charm, others criticized it as “cringe” and inappropriate, accusing the couple of oversharing and embarrassing the royal family.

In response to the backlash, Meghan addressed the issue during a preview of her appearance on the Aspire podcast with host Emma Grede. She clarified that the video was from 2021, not a recent moment, and emphasized the importance of sharing her life on her own terms. Meghan expressed gratitude for being able to post content freely and dismissed online negativity. A midwife also publicly defended the video, noting that dancing can help with labor progression and explaining common medical practices seen in the clip. She reassured critics that such behavior is normal during early labor, reinforcing Meghan’s message about living authentically and joyfully despite public scrutiny.
