Meghan Markle sent the internet wild with her twerking video<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
Meghan Markle courted a lot of attention from her recent social media video showing her and husband Prince Harry twerking as they awaited the arrival of their daughter Lilibet in 2021, posted to celebrate the youngest royal\u2019s fourth birthday last week. As ever, the 43-year-old\u2019s upload courted controversy \u2013 with some cruel trolls even falsely claiming the video \u2018proves\u2019 that Meghan wasn\u2019t pregnant and that her and 40-year-old husband Prince Harry\u2019s second child was born via surrogate.<\/p>\n
And while you\u2019d imagine that the comments would upset the former Suits<\/em> actress, a source tells Closer that the attention she has garnered from the video has actually made her happy.<\/p>\n The source says, \u2018Meghan\u2019s thrilled with all the attention this is getting them, she doesn\u2019t care that the usual suspects have been bashing her for it because she\u2019s used to them finding fault with her no matter what, it\u2019s water off a duck\u2019s back for her at this point. Instead, she\u2019s putting her attention on all the views and shares she\u2019s getting. She’s been obsessively checking her social numbers and gushing to friends that she\u2019s finally cracked the algorithm.\u2019<\/p>\n Following the backlash to the video, it was reported that Meghan was \u2018very pleased\u2019 with the response as while the UK\u2019s reaction was \u2018a bit prudish\u2019, it had been \u2018a huge hit\u2019 in the US and \u2018especially with young people.\u2019<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-10-at-12.55.15.png” alt=”Jennifer Aniston” title_text=”Screenshot 2025-06-10 at 12.55.15″ force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] She’s said to be ‘thrilled with the attention’<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Naysayers took to social media following the upload to slam Meghan and her video, with one speculating on X, \u2018Meghan Markle dancing at nine months pregnant with zero backward lean, no mass lag, no swelling, and a bump that moves like foam. Biology doesn\u2019t bend for PR. Either she\u2019s superhuman\u2026 or something doesn\u2019t add up.’ A second added, \u2018I do not believe for one second believe this video is real. Who the heck dances like that when readying to labour? No one. The bump is misshapen and she still doesn\u2019t look pregnant.\u2019<\/p>\n However, Lesley Bland, consultant midwife at My Expert Midwife publicly defended Meghan, explaining that the lumps on her baby bump could have been the \u2018baby\u2019s limbs protruding,\u2019 and that \u2018a woman who exercises regularly and is familiar with the correct way to squat can often still complete low squats during labour.\u2019<\/p>\n And our source says there\u2019ll be plenty more to come from the dancing Duchess\u2019 new venture, \u2018The twerking video wasn\u2019t a one-off, she wants to do more fun dance reels, and she\u2019s roped Harry in as her reluctant co-star. She loves that this is so different from the stiff upper lip royal image and keeps saying this is a way for them to reclaim their narrative. Meghan\u2019s decided that sharing fun moments they have with their kids is perfectly acceptable too, she\u2019s proud of the way she and Harry parent and wants to show it off.\u2019<\/p>\n Meghan and Harry have gone against the royal norm of showing their children\u2019s faces publicly, with them only sharing six-year-old son Archie\u2019s face on a handful of occasions, including his christening. The last time we officially saw Archie\u2019s face fully unobscured was when Meghan up shared a video reading a book to him on his first birthday. Since then, we have only seen his face partially in social media photos and the Sussex\u2019s 2021 Christmas card. We didn\u2019t see a photo of Lilibet\u2019s face at all until a portrait was shared to mark her first birthday in June 2022. Since then, we have only seen her from behind or with an emoji covering her face in social media. A photo of Harry lovingly looking own at her with her face exposed was posted to celebrate her birthday earlier this month, but it was an old baby picture.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/GettyImages-2173948801-scaled.jpg” alt=”Perdro Pascal” title_text=”2024 Concordia Annual Summit” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Harry will reluctantly take part in his wife’s social media videos<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Our source says that while Harry was included in the new twerking video and is sure to appear in future post to please his wife \u2013 he\u2019s not overly happy about becoming a social media star, explaining, ‘Harry\u2019s going along with it, but let\u2019s be honest, he\u2019s got to be cringing inside. This is so not his style, but Meghan\u2019s on a mission and there\u2019s no stopping her. She wants to become a force in the industry again and anyone in Hollywood knows that in this day and age you need a social media presence with a ton of followers to get any respect. And it\u2019s not just followers that are measured, engagement is crucial too so she can\u2019t just throw up pictures of her products, she has to follow trends and get people sharing her stuff.<\/p>\n \u2018What works right now is being \u201creal\u201d and \u201cunfiltered\u201d so it\u2019s not a big shock that Meghan is going in that direction, even if it\u2019s all still heavily curated. She keeps saying this is the future, and that they\u2019re reinventing themselves as this fun, relatable couple. Harry just nods and goes with it because he\u2019s always supportive of her, but it\u2019s definitely not his vibe.<\/p>\n \u2018He\u2019s way more comfortable behind the scenes or doing his charity work, not shaking his hips for clicks. But Meghan\u2019s convinced this is the way to win back the public. She\u2019s already mapped out more dance content, silly couple challenges, even day in the life stuff with the kids and she sees it all as part of a bigger strategy to show a lighter side of their life. It\u2019s not about dignity or protocol anymore, it\u2019s about engagement and visibility, and she\u2019s fully leaned in.<\/p>\n \u2018The twerking video was just the start, she wants to give her fans a more intimate look at their lives and is convinced it will pay off, not just with sales of her products but with brand deals too. She\u2019s not going to go full Kardashian and share every detail of her life but she\u2019s getting advice from top social media strategists, and everyone has told her the only way to make it a success is to open up more, so that\u2019s what she\u2019s doing and she\u2019s bringing Harry along with her.\u2019<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″
