Meghan Markle<\/a> showed “leadership of a very different kind” with her latest controversial dancing video<\/a>, while her husband, Prince Harry<\/a>, appeared to be stuck “in limbo”, according to a royal author. The Duchess of Sussex raised eyebrows this week after she shared a highly unusual private video<\/a> of her and the Duke of Sussex dancing in a bid to induce labour just before Princess Lilibet’s arrival.<\/p>\n

The video was mostly savaged online by people who described it “unroyal” and “cringe”. But royal historian Dr Tessa Dunlop held a different view about it and praised the Duchess for her bold choice.<\/p>\n

She told the Mirror<\/a>: “Meghan is all woman and to hell with what the rest of the world thinks. This was leadership of a very different kind.”<\/p>\n

She continued: “It is a pity that while the Duchess was working on her rhythm at university in Illinois, Harry was languishing at Eton College, where lessons were of a very different kind.<\/p>\n

“His wooden moves were a reminder of the stiff royal world he has left behind. The poor Prince was caught in limbo, somewhere between his full-on Californian earthmother and a former life riddled with institutions.”<\/p>\n

Dr Dunlop said that Meghan’s highly unusual private video proved that “nothing is out of bounds,” praising her for “constantly surprising and outmanoeuvring the naysayers”.<\/p>\n

She said: “Let’s not pretend otherwise, that Baby Momma dance was Instagram<\/a> magic. The twerking, the baby brain, the Harry cameo, you could not make it up.<\/p>\n

“Full marks to Meghan for constantly surprising and outmanoeuvring the naysayers. The vibe, the love, the crazy overdue drama, and the sheer audacity. The haters were horrified.”<\/p>\n

Meghan was seen twerking to Starrkeisha’s The Baby Momma Dance, captioning the video: “Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates\u2026 so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn\u2019t work – there was only one thing left to do!”<\/p>\n

At the time of Princess Lilibet’s birth on June 4, 2021, the song became a viral challenge on TikTok<\/a>, with thousands of expectant mothers showcasing their moves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meghan Markle showed “leadership of a very different kind” with her latest controversial dancing video, while her husband,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":162710,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[8009,20412,8010,1281,68451,1487,8003,1488,68450,67575,5105,7710,519,10858,448,68452],"class_list":{"0":"post-162709","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-harry-and-meghan","9":"tag-harry-and-meghan-latest","10":"tag-harry-and-meghan-news","11":"tag-meghan-markle","12":"tag-meghan-markle-cringe","13":"tag-meghan-markle-latest","14":"tag-meghan-markle-latest-news","15":"tag-meghan-markle-news","16":"tag-meghan-markle-twerking","17":"tag-meghan-markle-video","18":"tag-royal","19":"tag-royal-families","20":"tag-royal-family","21":"tag-royal-news","22":"tag-royals","23":"tag-tessa-dunlop"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114635971411195638","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162709"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162709\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/162710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
