Meghan’s Caption and Message
Alongside the footage, Meghan wrote:
“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!”
She ended the caption with a laughing-crying emoji.
A Royal Expert’s Reaction
Jennie Bond, a royal commentator, described the video as “astonishing on any level” and questioned how the King might have reacted.
Speaking to The Mirror, Bond said:
“The hours before you give birth are some of the most personal, intimate, and private in the lives of any couple. And women are perfectly entitled to do whatever they feel like to get through the waiting, and the pain. Giving birth is a serious business, and anything to lighten the mood is welcome.”
However, she also expressed concern over the public nature of the post:
“To share those scenes with the world is utterly bizarre and, in my view, takes away all the magic of the moment. I cannot imagine why she chose to release it. Maybe show it one day to your nearest and dearest — but to anyone and everyone who wants to click on it?”
Would King Charles Approve?
Bond added:
“If the King has watched it, which I doubt, though he can’t have missed the headlines, I’m sure he would be horrified. Royalty has to carry with it some measure of dignity.”
