The video quickly went viral, with mixed responses flooding social media.

“Make it stop. #Cringe,” one user posted on X.
Another remarked, “Everything they do to be ‘relatable’ is weirdly not relatable.”

Yet others praised the candid moment:

“LOOOOVE!! Go Meghan and Harry!” said one fan, while another called it “super cute.”

The dance, though unconventional, aligns with medical advice. According to the National Institutes of Health, movement and dancing during labor can promote a more natural birth experience.

The post also featured throwback images of Meghan holding newborn Lilibet, along with touching moments of Harry bonding with his daughter.

“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,” Meghan wrote.

She added a tribute to Harry’s role as a father:

“Daddy’s little girl and favorite adventurer. Happy birthday, Lili!”

Lilibet, born June 4, 2021, was named in honor of Queen Elizabeth II (whose childhood nickname was Lilibet) and Princess Diana, Harry’s late mother.

As always, the Sussexes’ efforts to be open and relatable continue to divide opinion—but for many, this moment was simply a joyful glimpse into a modern royal family’s most personal milestone.
