Meghan Markle Slammed for 'Vulgar' Twerking Video Post
Meghan Markle Slammed for 'Hypocritical' Twerking Video: Royal Expert Calls It 'Vulgar, Embarrassing, and Attention-Seeking'.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are once again at the center of controversy—this time over a personal video posted by Meghan Markle, which has drawn sharp criticism from royal experts and the public alike. The video, shared in celebration of daughter Lilibet’s fourth birthday, shows Meghan, 43, dancing in a hospital room while heavily pregnant. But what was intended as a playful moment has sparked accusations of hypocrisy, vulgarity, and a blatant disregard for privacy—the very thing Prince Harry and Meghan have so often demanded.
Meghan's 'Baby Momma Dance' Sparks Backlash
The 80-second Instagram video, which was posted to Meghan’s three million followers, features the Duchess twerking and shimmying in a hospital room in a bid to induce labor. Wearing comfortable hospital attire, Meghan performs rowing movements and dances beside a hospital bed, while Prince Harry, dressed casually in a hoodie, joins in awkwardly to the viral hit The Baby Momma Dance.
The post was captioned:
“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!”
While the video was intended to be lighthearted, many critics found it anything but amusing. Royal commentator Ingrid Seward did not mince words in her reaction.
“They can do what they like, but why put it online?” she told The Sun. “Does Meghan have no boundaries? I think it’s vulgar, unnecessary, and attention-seeking. They make such a point about privacy and security, and then they put this out there. Meghan can’t resist putting it out there.”
Seward added, “It’s completely hypocritical for everything she stands for. It’s very embarrassing.”
Privacy Claims Called into Question
Critics say this is not the first time Meghan and Harry have contradicted their public stance on privacy. Prince Harry has launched numerous lawsuits in the UK over media intrusions, including cases against tabloid newspapers and challenges over his family’s security arrangements.
Latest News
Earlier this year, Harry lost a legal battle concerning security provisions when visiting the UK. He later claimed that he did not feel safe bringing Lilibet and their son, Archie, back to the UK under current conditions. Despite these concerns, the Sussexes have increasingly shared personal family content online and through their streaming and podcasting ventures.
In April, Meghan and Harry even called for stronger protections for children on social media platforms—a move that now seems at odds with the very public nature of their latest post.
More Glimpses Into Life in Montecito
The controversial hospital dance wasn’t the only content shared for Lilibet’s birthday. Earlier in the day, Meghan posted a sweet side-by-side photo on Instagram showing Lilibet as a newborn and another image of her as a four-year-old—though, as with most of their recent posts, her face was not visible.
The caption read:
“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!”
The family is believed to have celebrated privately at their $12 million Montecito home, continuing their trend of selective content sharing with fans while keeping many details of their children's lives under wraps.
Lilibet's Royal Heritage and Public Curiosity
Born in 2021, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor is seventh in line to the British throne. Her name pays homage to Queen Elizabeth II, whose childhood nickname "Lilibet" was coined when she was a toddler unable to pronounce her own name. Despite her royal lineage, Lilibet has met her grandfather King Charles III only once, during the Sussexes’ visit to the UK in June 2022.
Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to raise their children in California, far from royal duties but still firmly in the public eye. Meghan recently shared a rare video of herself and Lilibet walking hand-in-hand toward a beehive in their garden—a scene also featured in her Netflix docuseries With Love, Meghan. In the clip, Lilibet wears a child-sized beekeeping suit and rainbow-colored boots, smiling up at her mother before getting help with the task at hand.
Identity and Image: The Sussexes Consider Changing Their Name
Adding to the flurry of royal headlines, a source revealed that Meghan and Harry have considered changing their family surname to Spencer—after Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana—amid reported passport issues for their children. The delays were allegedly related to the inclusion of "HRH" titles in the documentation.
If true, the move would be symbolically significant and raise further questions about the couple's future role and identity outside the monarchy.
Meghan Criticized for 'Working Mum' Remarks
This latest controversy follows backlash Meghan received in April after discussing her experiences as a working mother. During a media appearance, she acknowledged the support she receives from a full-time nanny who has been with the family for five years. Despite this, Meghan spoke about the challenges of balancing work and motherhood.
Her comments drew criticism from royal and media observers. News.com.au’s royal correspondent Bronte Coy remarked:
“I have a son, and I understand what time away from your kid means. But when people in positions of great privilege talk endlessly about being working mums—despite having nannies and household help—it feels tone-deaf. It’s not the same struggle the rest of us face.”
Once again, Meghan and Harry find themselves navigating the murky waters of privacy, public image, and personal branding. While their loyal fanbase continues to support their efforts to live authentically outside the constraints of royal life, critics argue that their actions often undermine the very values they claim to uphold.
The twerking video, though shared with humor and sentiment, has become yet another flashpoint in the ongoing debate about the Sussexes' place in the modern media landscape—balancing personal freedom with public scrutiny, and authenticity with accountability.
