Grede admitted she’d seen the clip and even “cheered” when it appeared online. “I love that you showed joy and didn’t care what people thought,” she told Meghan. “That’s what we need to see more of.”
Meghan was quick to clarify that the footage wasn’t recent — something she felt many critics misunderstood.
“By the way, that wasn’t yesterday,” she said. “That was four years ago. It’s a reminder that behind all the noise and opinions, life goes on — and sometimes it’s really beautiful and full of laughter.”
The Duchess also shared that she’s grateful to be active on social media again, but in a way that gives her control: “Now that I’m sharing things on my own terms, I can be selective. I don’t have to explain everything. I can just… be me.”
Her response has earned support not only from fans, but also from healthcare professionals. One midwife took to X (formerly Twitter) to defend Meghan’s movements in the video, noting that dancing during early labor is not unusual — and often encouraged.
“I’m a midwife,” the user wrote. “This isn’t cringe — it’s actually a great way to help progress labor naturally.”
Another user had questioned why Meghan’s IV line wasn’t connected, to which the midwife explained: “It’s a saline lock — very common in early labor before fluids or medication are needed.”
Responding to skeptics who said, “No one in early labor dances like that,” she added: “Actually, many do. It’s called a ‘labour dance,’ and yes — I’ve seen it plenty of times.”
