Meghan Markle has finally spoken out about the video she shared of herself and Prince Harry twerking to bring on labour with Princess Lilibet in a brand new interview

Meghan Markle has broken her silence on her controversial twerking video with a defiant response. The Duchess of Sussex raised eyebrows when she shared a clip of her and Prince Harry dancing around a hospital room in a bid to bring on labour while Meghan was in the later stages of pregnancy with Princess Lilibet.

The candid video, which runs for more than a minute, features the song ‘Baby Mamma’ and sees Harry beckoned in by Meghan as the pair dance together, with the duke appearing at the end with the hood of his grey hoodie up as he continues his dance moves.

Meghan, wearing a black maternity dress, cradles her large bump as she dances, as well as lifting her skirt above her knees, raising her hands in the air and wiggling low with her hands on her hips and legs.

The Duchess had not addressed the reaction to the now-viral clip – until now in a brand new interview on the Aspire with Emma Grede podcast. In a preview for the podcast, which drops in full tomorrow, Emma, a London-born entrepreneur behind the brand Good American, chats to Meghan about the clip.

In the teaser, Meghan tells Emma about being authentic to be successful, before asking the host: “Did you see my ‘Baby Momma’ dance?”

Emma, who is also a founding partner of Kim Kardashian’s successful brand Skims, revealed: “We maybe watched it like 20 times yesterday, and I was like, is that, is that her? Is that Prince Harry there with the fingers…I was like, okay…good on Harry, let’s go. But that’s you, right? Like that’s you in a way that we kind of haven’t been able to see you before.”

“And I did like a little secret cheer, cause I was like, well, that’s what I kind of want to see from you. Like I wanna see that happiness and that honesty and that ‘I don’t give a f***’ kind of thing.”

And breaking her silence on the clip, Meghan explained: “That was four years ago. So it’s also a really great reminder that with all the noise or whatever people do, there’s still a whole life — a real, authentic, fun life — that’s happening behind the scenes.”

“I’m just grateful that now, being back on social as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms.”

The new teaser clip comes after Meghan took to social media just yesterday to share a heartfelt Father’s Day tribute to her husband, featuring rare never-before-seen footage of the couple’s two children.

Meghan posted a video to Instagram showing Harry alongside Archie and Lilibet, set to the song Have It All by Jason Mraz. “The best,” she captioned her post. “Happy Father’s Day to our favorite guy.”

The compilation showed photos and videos of Harry laughing, dancing and spending quality time with his children through the years. The Duchess made her social media return in early 2025 and regularly shares personal milestones and professional updates through her Instagram account.
