Did you catch the video? A throwback of Meghan Markle dancing while pregnant has gone viral — again — and this time, it’s not just going viral for being cute. It’s reigniting one of the internet’s favorite (and most exhausting) debates: Can Meghan Markle do anything without being criticized?

The clip shows Meghan in a hospital delivery room, heavily pregnant with daughter Lilibet, dancing to the viral “Baby Momma Dance” challenge. She’s glowing, smiling, moving to the beat — with Prince Harry popping into frame with goofy dad energy. It’s sweet. It’s normal. It’s joy. But somehow, it turned into controversy.

@my.unbounded.life Duchess Meghan Markle dancing while pregnant? We love to see it. 💃🏽✨ This video of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry is going viral — not for scandal, but for JOY. Pregnancy is not a prison sentence. Watching a pregnant woman dance shouldn’t be controversial — it should be celebrated. Anyone who criticizes Duchess Meghan Markle for enjoying life is exposing their own bitterness. 🔹 This post is shared under Section 107 of the Copyright Act — protected by fair use for the purpose of commentary, education, and public discussion.

So, Why the Backlash?

When the video was reshared to mark Lilibet’s 4th birthday, it brought out both love and… loud opinions.

🔹 Conspiracy Theories Resurfaced
Some internet trolls claimed the clip was fake — alleging she wore a “moon bump,” used AI, or staged the video altogether. Yes, seriously.

🔹 Megyn Kelly Called It “Uncomfortable”
The conservative commentator slammed the video on her podcast, calling it “cringey” and “bizarre,” saying Meghan was trying to turn labor into an ego trip.

🔹 Piers Morgan Went There
In a comment that was widely criticized, Morgan took a low blow, joking we’re “two months away from the sex tape.” Many saw this as wildly inappropriate and indicative of how over-the-top the Meghan hate train can be.

But Let’s Talk About the Reality

🟢 Dancing During Labor? Totally Normal
Many birth professionals say dancing during early labor is encouraged to ease contractions, reduce stress, and even help with positioning the baby.

🟢 Hospital Gowns and Delivery Rooms Aren’t One-Size-Fits-All
Some trolls critiqued her clothing and setting — clearly unfamiliar with what real birth prep can look like.

🟢 Fans Loved It
The internet doesn’t agree on much, but many praised Meghan for showing a softer, real side of pregnancy. The video racked up views for being relatable and uplifting. Supporters flooded comments with heart emojis and praise, calling it “refreshing” and “beautiful.”

Why It’s Still Going Viral — and Still Matters

This moment isn’t new, but it feels fresh — because it goes against what society still expects from high-profile women, especially women of color. Meghan smiling, dancing, and celebrating motherhood is powerful. Not because she’s trying to prove something, but because she’s not.

Her joy doesn’t need permission.

Let’s be real: Meghan Markle can’t breathe without being judged. So if she’s going to be talked about either way, she might as well dance — and let the rest of us celebrate with her.

Bottom line?
It’s a pregnant woman dancing. Not a scandal. Not a stunt. Just joy. And that’s something we could use a little more of.
