never-before-seen video showing Meghan Markle dancing while heavily pregnant has resurfaced a familiar storm of conspiracy theories â and this time, itâs tied to the fourth birthday of Princess Lilibet.
The clip, shared online in honor of Lilibetâs birthday on June 4, shows Meghan and Prince Harry turning a hospital labor room into their own dance party as they awaited their daughterâs arrival in 2021. In the playful footage, Meghan sways, laughs, and dances with Prince Harry to âThe Baby Momma Danceâ â a lighthearted viral track often used by expectant mothers online.

But what started as a joyful throwback quickly reignited a long-running theory that Meghan Markle never actually carried her children â a claim that has circulated since her first pregnancy with Prince Archie in 2019.
In a series of Instagram stories posted for Lilibetâs birthday, Meghan noted that both Archie and Lilibet arrived about a week past their due dates. She explained that when traditional labor-inducing methods like spicy food and acupuncture failed, she and Harry decided to dance it out instead. “There was only one thing left to do!” she wrote alongside the clip.

That post, however, opened the floodgates. Online critics pounced immediately. âA real pregnant belly doesnât bounce like that,â one user wrote. Others claimed her movements were too agile for someone in late pregnancy. âYou canât twerk like that when youâre about to give birth,â said another. Some called the belly âfakeâ and suggested the dancing clip reinforced long-standing surrogacy rumors.
Not everyone joined the pile-on. Supporters called the theory ridiculous and pointed out that dancing to induce labor has become a popular trend on platforms like TikTok. âItâs amazing how angry some people get at a woman enjoying her own pregnancy,â one comment read.

Medical professionals weighed in too. Jessica Jennings, a pregnancy-focused yoga expert, told The Bump that hip movement during labor can help ease pain and even speed up delivery. Meanwhile, OB-GYN Dr. Charlsie Celestine told Flo that pregnancy bellies come in all shapes and sizes â and no single appearance or movement pattern defines a real pregnancy.
Still, suspicions about the Sussex childrenâs births continue to swirl. Meghanâs estranged half-sister, Samantha Markle, has repeatedly claimed Meghan used a surrogate and accused her of covering it up to preserve the childrenâs place in the royal line of succession. âIf they used a surrogate, admit it,â she said in a past interview with British journalist Dan Wootton.
Royal author Lady Colin Campbell echoed those sentiments, calling the mystery âsuspiciousâ and urging the Duke and Duchess to end speculation. âThere should be no ambiguity about who is legitimately in the line of succession,â she told RadarOnline.

The speculation gained traction years ago when Meghan and Harry delayed public appearances with their newborn son Archie, breaking with royal tradition. Unlike Prince William and Kate Middleton, who presented their children hours after birth, the Sussexes waited two days and offered a tightly controlled photo op.
As Lilibet turns four, the controversy shows no signs of cooling. Palace insiders remain tight-lipped, but critics say transparency is long overdue. For now, the Sussex family continues to mark milestones in their own way â dancing, celebrating, and weathering the media storm.
