Piers Morgan’s wife Celia Walden left ITV’s Lorraine very divided as she hit out at Meghan Markle after the royal shared a video of her dancing before giving birth

Piers Morgan’s wife has branded Meghan Markle “desperate” in a blistering attack. It comes just hours after the Duchess of Sussex delighted fans by sharing an unseen video of herself and husband Prince Harry in the maternity suite.

In the clip shared on social media, Meghan, 43, and Harry, 40, were seen dancing around her Santa Barbara hospital room as she prepared to give birth to their daughter, Princess Lilibet. But while some people were left overjoyed by Meghan showing her fun side, Celia Walden wasn’t impressed.

Piers Morgan’s wife appeared on ITV’s Lorraine alongside Ranvir Singh and Reverend Richard Coles to discuss the divisive dance video and hit out at the former Suits actress.

“I think we’re going to see more and more stuff offered up for public consumption,” broadcaster Celia said, before adding: “As she gets a bit more desperate to make people like her,” before Ranvir interrupted. She said: “Is that what you think it is, rather than they’re in that generation of oversharing is a thing everybody does anyway.”

Celia responded: “That is true, but I do feel with her, very, very little is not premeditated, I have to say. I’m not sure how much he has to do with the decision-making. I could be being very unfair, perhaps he’s fully in charge in that relationship.”

Elsewhere, Reverend Richard acknowledged that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have to fund a “very lavish life”, explaining: “The opportunities for earning that kind of money you’d need to keep that show on the road, are few and the pressure then is on if you’re going to feed the beast, what’s the next tip that you throw.”

Reflecting on Meghan and Harry’s decision to quit life as senior working royals in January 2020 in a bid for a more financially independent and private lifestyle, Celia said: “There’s no judgement, but you can’t have both.”

But while some criticised the Duchess, Ranvir was quick to defend the video, saying: “I kind of love it because I think it’s really funny and warm. It’s impressive, isn’t it? She’s a great dancer – not too sure about Harry.”

Captioning her video, the Duchess, who was celebrating Lilibet’s fourth birthday, said: “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!”

The clip sees the two royals dancing along to a track with lyrics including: “Been pregnant for way too long,” while relaxing in the maternity room at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. Meghan can be seen twerking while Harry showcased his best dad moves.

Meghan’s glowing bump was on full display as she danced around the room without a care in the world. Another lyric appeared to be a dig at her critics, saying: “I’m a baby momma, I can do what I want.”
