A recently shared video of Meghan Markle dancing while heavily pregnant with Princess Lilibet has sparked renewed conspiracy theories, overshadowing the celebration of Lilibet’s fourth birthday. The video, posted to social media by Meghan and Prince Harry, shows the couple dancing in a hospital room to the viral “Baby Momma Dance” song as a lighthearted way to induce labor. Meghan explained that after other methods like acupuncture and spicy food failed, dancing was their last resort. While many fans embraced the video as a joyful, relatable moment, critics quickly reignited longstanding claims that Meghan used a surrogate, alleging her movement was inconsistent with late-stage pregnancy. These rumors, dating back to her first pregnancy with Archie, have been fueled by the Sussexes’ decision to delay public appearances with their newborns and maintain privacy around their births.

Medical experts pushed back against the backlash, emphasizing that every pregnancy is different. OB-GYN Dr. Charlsie Celestine and prenatal yoga specialist Jessica Jennings explained that movement during labor can be beneficial and that belly shapes and sizes vary widely. Supporters defended Meghan, accusing critics of perpetuating baseless and invasive theories. Nonetheless, figures like Samantha Markle and royal commentator Lady Colin Campbell have continued to publicly question the legitimacy of Meghan’s pregnancies. Buckingham Palace has remained silent on the issue, and Meghan and Harry have not addressed the claims directly. As the Sussexes continue to share personal milestones on their terms, the public divide over their family narrative shows no sign of fading.
