Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have always sparked mixed reactions from the public. While many people admire them, others are more critical — especially when new stories about the couple surface.
Recently, the couple shared a video to mark their daughter Princess Lilibet’s fourth birthday. The clip shows Meghan and Harry dancing in a hospital room before Meghan went into labor on June 4, 2021. They were dancing to the song The Baby Momma Dance by Starrkeisha.
The video was meant to be a sweet, fun memory, but it quickly sparked debate online. Some viewers began questioning whether Meghan was really pregnant at the time.
In her post, Meghan explained that both her kids were born a week after their due dates. “Four years ago today, this also happened,” she wrote. “So when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn’t work – there was only one thing left to do!”

The dance took place at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California. But instead of celebrating the moment, some critics accused Meghan of faking her pregnancy.
One person commented, “Even a blind person can see the poorly stuffed belly is fake.” Another added, “Belly moving everywhere is not a pregnancy belly at all.” Someone else wrote, “She’s not pregnant.”
However, others defended the couple. “Why is it cringey? Fair play to them for being normal and not stuck up royals,” one person said. Another added, “Imagine being so salty about someone else’s pregnancy. This was a trend — have a look on TikTok. She’s not the only one dancing around in a hospital.”
Some experts agree that dancing during labor can help ease pain and make the experience more positive.
As for those claiming Meghan’s belly didn’t look “right,” doctors have pointed out that pregnancy looks different for every woman. “Just as bodies vary in shape and size, the pregnant belly is different for each individual,” said Dr. Charlsie Celestine.
But these rumors didn’t start with Lilibet’s birth. Speculation about surrogacy began in 2019 when the couple welcomed their first child, Archie. Originally, they planned to have the baby at Frogmore Cottage, but later switched to Portland Hospital in London — a change that added to public doubts.
Some questioned why Harry and Meghan waited two days to introduce Archie to the world, while Prince William and Princess Kate showed their children right away on the steps of St. Mary’s Hospital.
“This scandal comes as no surprise. Speculation about the children has been simmering for years,” said a senior palace insider. “The kids are sixth and seventh in line to the throne, but their lives have been kept unusually private. People want the truth.”
Royal author Lady Colin Campbell also chimed in, saying Meghan created an air of secrecy that has made some believe surrogacy was involved. “I think the whole thing stinks to high heaven,” she said. “Clear it up once and for all.”
Even Meghan’s estranged half-sister, Samantha Markle, made bold claims last year. Speaking to journalist Dan Wootton, she said, “If they used a surrogate, admit it.” She also claimed Meghan had picked up frozen eggs nine months before Archie was born. “That makes sense — it suggests a surrogate was involved,” Samantha said. “But if that’s true, it would mean the child is not in the line of succession, because royal heirs must be born from a titled royal mother.”
