Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, celebrated her daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday on June 4, 2025, by sharing a personal and lighthearted throwback video on Instagram. The video, from 2021, captured a moment of Meghan, then pregnant with Lilibet, dancing in a hospital room. This event was highlighted in some source material with descriptions such as "Pregnant Meghan Markle twerks in hospital room in throwback video before daughter Lilibet’s birth."

In the shared clip, Meghan is seen playfully dancing to Starrkeisha's "The Baby Momma Dance," a song that gained popularity on TikTok. She was wearing a black maternity dress and danced next to her hospital bed while awaiting Lilibet's arrival. Prince Harry, dressed casually, also joined in the dance, adding to the endearing nature of the moment as they anticipated the birth of their second child.

Meghan provided context for the dance in her Instagram caption: "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!" This suggested the dance was a way to pass the time and perhaps an attempt to encourage labor.

In addition to the video, Meghan also shared rare photographs of Lilibet to mark her birthday. These included black-and-white images of Lilibet as a newborn and a toddler, as well as a picture of Prince Harry holding their daughter. In her birthday message, Meghan wrote, "Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today she came into our lives - and each day ... . Thanks to all of those sending love ... !"

Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born in California in 2021. Her name pays tribute to Queen Elizabeth II's childhood nickname and her late grandmother, Princess Diana. The family, including Lilibet and her older brother Archie, resides in Montecito, California. They have selectively shared moments of their lives through social media and Meghan's Netflix series, "With Love, Meghan."

This sharing of personal moments aligns with how the couple sometimes engages with the public. For instance, last month, Meghan celebrated her seventh wedding anniversary with Prince Harry by posting a photo of a corkboard filled with memories from their relationship, captioned, "Seven years of marriage, a lifetime of stories." The provided text also mentions that "The royal couple also seems to obscure their faces in photographs to protect their identity, a common practice among Hollywood celebrities," indicating considerations around privacy.
