Social media users have taken to the comments to defend Meghan Markle after she posted a clip of her and Prince Harry dancing around the delivery room just before the birth of Princess Lilibet.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are notoriously very private when it comes to the lives of their two children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.

However, as of late, Meghan has been sharing more of their kids on her social media, particularly around their birthdays.

In May, she posted a picture of her son on Instagram in celebration of his sixth birthday, and just yesterday (4 June), she shared a picture of her daughter, with the caption reading: “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!”

But the social media posts didn’t stop there as the Suits star shared another one – but this time, she was in the delivery room.

In a clip on Meghan’s Instagram, she could be seen dancing while heavily pregnant in the delivery room. She wrote in the caption: “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!”

Prince Harry is then spotted joining in with his wife as the two get down while awaiting the arrival of their daughter.

However, the post seemingly created a divide between viewers on social media.

Some were quick to issue their disapproval, as one person claimed it was ‘not royalty’, adding: “Keep some private moments…private!”

Another said: “Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are a massive embarrassment to the Royal Family.

“Simply incredible that they still retain their royal titles.”

However, others defended the couple for the video, with one person even branding them ‘icons’.

“Meghan and Harry are such icons.” they said, while another commented: “Extremely amusing how obsessed you people always are with Meghan Markle. Y’all just hate anyone who isn’t an upper class white lady.”

A third said: “Meghan Markle hate is cringe.”

Referencing Prince Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana, someone else said: “Princess Diana would’ve loved to see them like this.”

And a fifth wrote: “They could never make me hate her lmaooo.”

Prince Harry has made it no secret that he believes his wife, Meghan Markle, and late mother, Princess Diana, share similarities.

In his 2022 Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, he said that ‘so much of what and how Meghan is’ is ‘so similar’ to his mum, who tragically died when he was just 12 years old.

Harry heartwarmingly gushed that she has the same compassion, empathy, confidence, and warmth that Diana was known for.

And in an interview with the BBC in 2017, just before he and Meghan headed for the aisle, Harry said that Diana would have been ‘over the moon’ about the woman he chose to spend his life with.

However, according to reports, not everyone who has met both women is on quite the same page when it comes to this comparison.

Harry was reportedly left ‘disappointed’ after he introduced his former Suits star wife to Diana’s sisters, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes, in the early days of their relationship.

The claim comes from royal biographer Tom Bower, who penned the book Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors in July 2022.

He even dropped the bombshell statement that Harry’s aunts apparently believed Meghan would ‘not fit in with the royal family’.

Bower quipped: “Harry assumed that Diana’s family and friends would see a similarity between Diana and his fiancée. Both, he said, shared the same problems. He was so disappointed.

“No one agreed that his vulnerable mother had anything in common with his girlfriend.

“More discomforting for him, they thought Meghan would not fit in with the royal family.”

Despite their alleged worries, Harry of course went on to tie the knot with Meghan in 2018 and they welcomed two children together.

The claims come as Meghan admitted to being ‘incredibly lonely’ following reports of her ‘professional separation’ from hubby Harry.

Over the last few months, the Duchess of Sussex has carved out a number of professional projects, including her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, her lifestyle brand, As Ever, and her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder.

While Meghan and Harry also have a shared Netflix docu-series and their charitable organisation Archewell, in late 2024, reports arose that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were embarking on a ‘professional separation’.

GB News has reported that the pair are building their own ‘royal’ household structure as they permanently separate their professional lives. This includes having their own chief of staff.

It also doesn’t mean they’re actually separating – it simply means that the pair will focus on their own ventures rather than embarking on them as a couple.

Happy birthday, Princess Lilibet!

That’s right – the youngest of the Sussex’s children is celebrating her fourth birthday today, and mum Meghan Markle celebrated the major milestone by uploading a heartwarming image of her daughter to Instagram.

And like every social media snap that the Duchess uploads, Lilibet’s special birthday tribute has set tongues wagging across the globe.

“Happy birthday to our beautiful girl!” she wrote in the caption.

“Four years ago today she came into our lives – and each day is brighter and better because of it.”

Meghan went on to write: “Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day!”

The Duchess of Sussex shared a gorgeous black and white snap where she’s cradling her little girl on what looks like a boat.

The glimpse of Lilibet’s face is the most the public have ever seen of Harry and Meghan’s second-born, as she’s largely been kept out of the limelight since her birth in 2021.

Meghan also sweetly included a picture of the day Lilibet was born, also in black and white.

The Duchess has been sharing frequent insights into she and Prince Harry‘s picture perfect family life since 1 January, when she returned to social media following a four-year break.

In doing so, however, Meghan has caused ceaseless stirs amid critical online communities that seem committed to picking up on and pointing out her every alleged mistake – hence why she’s sadly had to turn off her comments.

Earlier this month, for example, a Mother’s Day post descended into chaos, with trolls and conspiracy theorists accusing Meghan of photoshopping her son’s toes.

The same image also sparked conspiracy theories among others, who claimed the apparent darkening of the children’s hair indicated they weren’t the ‘real’ Archie and Lilibet after all.

“Where is Archie’s and Lili’s red hair this week Meghan Markle?” hit out one internet troll who clearly was perplexed by the concept of hair changing colour on camera depending on whether you’re in the shade or the beaming sun.

A second chimed in: “Her hair changed colour.”

“Different hair colour too,” quipped a third, while a fourth echoed: “Their hair is dark now too.”

And another questioned: “And what about Archie’s hair?”

“Coarse, thick, curly and red… to black and dead straight.”

And elsewhere, Meghan’s latest upload has set tongues wagging, with some pointing out that the child’s legs appear considerably shorter that they did in her Mother’s Day snap.

The mother-of-two, 43, and Prince Harry, 40, tied the knot in 2018 before welcoming their first child Prince Archie, now six, a year later, before their daughter came along.

And for those who aren’t up to speed, in 2020 the couple stepped back from their Royal duties and moved to California – Meghan’s home state.

The birthday girl’s full name is Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, which is a homage to more than one member of the family.

Of course, the middle name Diana is a tribute to Harry’s late mother Princess Diana, who tragically died when he was just 12 years old.

Meanwhile, Lilibet is actually a nickname that the late Queen Elizabeth was called by her close friends and family.

Meghan Markle has shared a rare photo of Prince Harry and Princess Lilibet, to mark her fourth birthday.

The adorable image sees Prince Harry holding his daughter when she was a baby, with the little one looking into his eyes.

“The sweetest bond to watch unfold,” Meghan wrote alongside the Instagram post today (4 June).

“Daddy’s little girl and favorite adventurer.

“Happy birthday Lili!”

The sweet photos come just hours after Meghan shared a series of snaps of Lilibet, writing on the social media platform: “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!”

Last month, Meghan shared a tribute to her eldest child, Archie, to mark his sixth birthday.

In the image, Archie can be seen peering over a balcony, facing away from the camera.

The youngster appears to be looking towards the beautiful sunset in the background, with Meghan writing alongside the post: “Our son. Our sun.

“Happy 6th birthday to Archie!

“Thank you for all of the love, prayers, and warm wishes for our sweet boy. He’s six! Where did the time go?

“(And for all of you who came to celebrate with us at his party last weekend, thank you for making his birthday so incredibly special).”

After Meghan posted the image online, people were quick to comment, with many saying the same thing.

Plenty of fans commented on Archie’s height, with one writing: “What a beautiful picture of Prince Archie, he is growing so tall. Happy birthday Archie.”
