Meghan Markle has shared a carefree beach snap after she was accused of ‘ over-sharing ‘ in a ‘ cringeworthy ‘ video of her twerking to celebrate her daughter’s birthday

Meghan Markle has brushed off backlash surrounding her “cringeworthy” twerking video with a carefree beach snap.

The Duchess of Sussex spoke of ‘running into the weekend’ as she frolicked in the water in her most recent Instagram post on her As Ever account.

The 43-year-old was pictured prancing in the water on a sunny beach, sporting a flowing white sundress as she revealed her excitement ‘ for all the good to come’.

Just hours earlier, she had shared a series of heartwarming photos featuring herself, Prince Harry, and their children – six-year-old Archie and four-year-old Lilibet – during a memorable family trip to Disneyland.

Sharing the montage with her 3.7million followers, the mother-of-two described their two-day visit as “pure joy” and expressed gratitude to the park for the special experience.

She also highlighted the fun-filled moments the family enjoyed, from thrilling rides to indulging in delicious treats.

Offering a glimpse into their life in the U. S., she included a sweet photo of Archie and Lilibet meeting Elsa from Frozen for the first time, along with a touching shot of Prince Harry and Lilibet sharing a ride together.

This latest social media update follows an earlier post that raised eyebrows – a lighthearted but awkward video of her and Prince Harry dancing in a hospital room in an effort to induce Lilibet’s birth.

The candid video, which runs for more than a minute, also features Harry, who is seen dancing in and out of the frame. He is beckoned in by Meghan as the pair dance together, with the duke appearing at the end with the hood of his grey hoodie up as he continues his dance moves.

Meghan is wearing a black maternity dress and cradles her large bump as she dances, as well as lifting her skirt above her knees, raising her hands in the air and wiggling low with her hands on her hips and legs.

The release of the footage is one of the more unusual ways a member of the royal family has marked a royal birthday. Earlier, the duchess posted never-before-seen intimate family photos of “Daddy’s little girl and favorite adventurer” Lili.

Meghan shared a black-and-white snap of herself cuddling the princess, who was sat on her lap, with the pair both sporting windswept hair, seemingly on a boat.

Another image showed Meghan tenderly cradling newborn Lili as she enjoyed skin-to-skin time with the new addition to her family in 2021. In a later post, she described how Lili’s relationship with Harry was “the sweetest bond to watch unfold”.

Meghan Markle’s twerking-in-labour video has everyone talking – from royal fans to possibly even King Charles himself. Was it a fun, unfiltered mum moment or a royally awkward overshare? Let us know!

To celebrate Princess Lilibet’s 4th birthday, Meghan posted a video that caught pretty much everyone off guard. It showed her, heavily pregnant, in a hospital room with Prince Harry, dancing and twerking to the song Baby Momma by Starrkeisha.

Whether you found it hilarious, relatable, or a bit odd, it definitely got people talking. Some fans loved seeing this personal, human moment – but others weren’t so keen. Royal commentator Jennie Bond called it “utterly bizarre” and says King Charles would’ve been “horrified” by it.

But what do you think? Was Meghan just enjoying the moment and sharing a joyful memory? Or did she cross a line by going so public with something so private – and what is clearly a little unconventional for a duchess? Scroll down to take our poll.

Meghan shared the clip saying: “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!”

Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond was left flabbergasted, telling the Mirror : “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 – 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?

“I can hear the voice of the late Queen’s former private secretary, Lord Charteris, repeating the comments he once made about Fergie: ‘Vulgar, vulgar, vulgar’.

“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.”

Since sharing the clip many have questioned why she posted it, given the couple’s supposed desire for privacy. And Jennie added: “I’m glad they were so happy before the birth, I’m glad Harry was there to support his wife in every way, I’m delighted to hear that he’s such a great dad. But they really can’t have it both ways.

“They can’t demand privacy and be so coy about sharing images of their children and then show us all these intensely intimate scenes. And she cannot expect to be treated as if she’s royal whilst behaving like a click-hungry social media influencer.

“Having said all that, there’s no doubt that videos like this connect in a very real way to young people. And perhaps that’s what Meghan is trying to do. My own daughter thought the video humanised both Meghan and Harry and was light-hearted and hugely relatable. It reminded her of her own pregnancies and labour and she thought it was rather charming.

In many ways, I agree with her. I just don’t think it sits happily with trying to cling to the vestiges of being ‘royal’.”

Nick Knowles and Katie Dadzie have proved critics of their age-gap relationship wrong, after tying the knot on Saturday in a six-figure celebration at Braxted Park, Essex.

Nick Knowles’ new wife Katie Dadzie swapped her wedding gown for a daring mini dress for the dancefloor, with her new husband whipping off his blazer to join her for a wild dance. The happy couple got married on Saturday at Braxted Park, Essex in a star-studded six-figure celebration, surrounding by their nearest and dearest.

BBC DIY SOS star Nick, 62, opted for a light pink tuxedo jacket, with a black bow tie and trousers. He added a purple boutonnière to give his colourful look a pastel contrast.

Meanwhile, Katie, 34, wowed guests in a non-traditional wedding dress, going for a stunning white bandeaux gown with a blue floral design. She swept her hair back in a bun and went for full glam makeup, accessorising her look with a statement diamond necklace and full-length veil.

And she pulled out all the stops, even including a costume change for the reception. Mum-of-two Katie swapped her demure gown for a tiny white mini dress and sparkly hat, ditching her heels for white trainers and adding in some heart-shaped shades.

The newly-weds entertained their guests with a live band, plus a carnival dancer who took to the floor in a feather-adorned outfit. A video re-shared to Nick’s story shows them downing shots together and partying into the early hours with their beaming guests.

TV star Nick and lingerie business owner Katie started dating in 2021 after their children made friends and the pair met at a kids’ play centre in 2019. Nick got down on one knee in 2023, with them finally tying the knot after four years together.

Katie’s business sells lingerie and sex toys, but she also owns another company, Boobbix. Her second enterprise sells ‘lactation products for breastfeeding mums’.

Despite their strong relationship, the pair have had to deal with their fair share of trolling from disapproving fans. The couple met back in 2019 but raised eyebrows due to their 27-year age-gap relationship.

After they got together, trolls mocked one of Katie’s posts after she shared a photo while working on a photoshoot for her lingerie company. Nick was seen behind her, adjusting her suspenders.

Vicious followers called Katie ‘desperate’ and ‘cringe’ for the post, forcing Nick to hit back at the haters. He wrote on X: “[She] has degrees in two subjects, runs three businesses, is a mother of two, is wealthier and more successful than me and is intelligent and independent unlike the abusive trolls attacking her.”

Later, in an interview with The Sun, Nick said that he usually ignores trolls but has taken the bait and hit back when people have been ‘judgmental’. He explained: “I chose to be on telly so I kind of expect it for me, but for people I care about they shouldn’t have to deal with it. I’m protective of Katie, because people make assumptions about her without knowing anything about her, so that’s why I spoke.”

Despite some fans judging them because of the age-gap, sources have said the couple are ‘so in love’ and ‘absolutely adore each other’. “Katie is over the moon that Nick popped the question,” they added.

As it has been reported that Freddy Brazier is living with his grandmother Jackiey Budden, a source has revealed the real reason for the alleged family feud as dad Jeff is ‘livid’.

Freddy Brazier is said to have felt as though he’s ‘fallen into the background’ of his actor brother Bobby’s success, says a source.

The aspiring model is thought to have been living with his grandmother, Jackeiy, over the last week before he revealed he was checking himself into a rehab centre on Friday.

Freddy was pictured with her maternal grandmother amid reports of a rift between the 20-year-old and his dad Jeff, with Freddy allegedly smoking a joint during the outing. And revealing that the relationship has left Jeff ‘livid’, a source told Mirror, “Jeff is livid over the whole thing. He feels that he has brought the kids up single-handedly and Jackiey is a bad influence. Drugs are not something Jeff wants the boys around and he’s not happy with the whole situation.”

Jeff has had a long-standing feud with Jade’s mum. Previously he said that during his sons’ childhoods, Jackiey would spoil them with “unsuitable” gifts, claiming she once bought Freddy a hamster without checking with him, and supplied the boys with mobile phones during a visit. “I just wish we could work together a little better,” he said in 2012.

However, the relationship later broke down completely and Jackiey didn’t see her grandsons for a period of time, before regular visits began again. “As she settled in herself, the boys kept a lot of contact with her and at the moment she’s very helpful and very prominent in their lives,” said Jeff in 2014.

Revealing the alleged reason for Freddy’s increased time with Jackiey, the source says that his brother Bobby’s soaring success on TV hasn’t been easy.

“It’s difficult for Bobby and for Freddy as brothers, especially considering Bobby’s success in recent years with Strictly and EastEnders – Freddy feels like he’s fallen into the background.

“It’s a case of him rebelling against it all. But they are really close as siblings and Bobby wants more than anything for his brother to come home and for the family to be back together again. He hates seeing his dad so anxious.”

While Bobby has carved out a successful TV career, Freddy’s profile is also on the rise. He describes himself as a “model and TV personality” and appeared on Celebrity Race Across The World alongside Jeff.

Last Friday, days after he was spotted smoking what appeared to be a joint with Jackiey, Freddy revealed he was checking into rehab. He wrote in his Instagram Stories that he was going to be “cutting down” as he headed to a rehab centre in Marbella.

“I’ve been smoking from the age of 12 and it’s time to stop,” he wrote. “It was a bad coping mechanism that turned into an addiction – something I relied on and something that made me feel sane and somewhat OK.“

Continuing that he had found a rehab centre where he could heal, Freddy added, “I want to be clean so I can live life happily and have healthy relationships with people and be there for all of my family rather than feeling like I’m in the middle and have to choose a side. I haven’t been able to feel love properly as I have never loved myself and it starts now. I want to play football and take up boxing. I want to be happy and be in a healthy relationship and have a healthy relationship with my Nana and my father.”

Capital Breakfast star Chris Stark has shared how he’s doing after an admittedly ‘ crap ‘ year in which he was diagnosed with testicular cancer during a routine GP appointment

Radio star Chris Stark has candidly opened up on the ‘weird’ unexpected phase he has experienced after undergoing chemotherapy treatment and operations for cancer.

Capital Breakfast star Chris, 38, revealed in March this year that he had been diagnosed and treated for testicular cancer – but insisted in the heartfelt statement he is “effectively cured” after undergoing surgery and chemotherapy. Chris was flooded with support and praise from friends and fans following his candid health announcement.

Now, weeks after sharing the news, Chris has shared an update on his health and revealed the ‘ weird ‘ phase he unexpectedly found himself in after being given the all clear. When asked by the Mirror how he’s doing, Chris revealed to us at the Pro Am Padel Tour launch: “I thought I was doing OK until I came here and played a bit of Padel.

” I feel like… I’m sure people who have had an experience with cancer or chemotherapy or just being unwell at some point this year – it’s really hard because you get into the summer months and suddenly… I’m sort of looking at myself and feeling so unfit and I feel like that’s a really frustrating feeling and I work in a job where, you know, you see a lot of pictures of yourself and videos of yourself and I feel… you know.

“I’m just really pleased that this thing was found and I had the surgery but there’s a weird, kind of, after thing in this that I hadn’t really thought about, which is I just want to feel a little better about myself.

” And I’m really lucky because I go into a job where I work with lovely people who, and I really feel like, they have been amazing throughout this but I really want to, as I say, I want to find some stuff this year to kind of just make myself feel a little bit better and that’s kind of why I came here today.

“Everything about this – although it seems probably simple and easy to anyone else – I just wanna start doing some stuff that will make me feel a bit fitter, show that you can do something like that and challenge myself a little bit more. So I’m playing cr*p and I feel desperately sweaty, like we’re sat down now as we do this, but I feel good for turning up today”.

That Peter Crouch Podcast star Chris has played a few games of the increasingly popular sport of padel, before taking part in the event. But, has admitted his interest in the sport has sparked a rivalry between himself and his Capital Breakfast co-host, Jordan North.

He tells us: “I started padel and he]Jordan] started getting involved and I noticed a bit of a trend where he keeps copying me with things I’m sort of into and then I got called up to do this and he, I think, is quite annoyed that he didn’t get called up to do it and it’s led to a bit of tension at work.

“It’s kind of under lying, which one of us is going to end up on top on the padel game – we’re like two rivals at the moment. And then maybe, one day, there will be this glorious moment where we end up together but, right now – I get on really well with Jordan – but this is the one thing that we seem to be falling out on and it’s spilling out onto the show a little bit,“ he joked.

While Chris insists Jordan is the one who copied him with his interest in the sport, Chris is happy to return the favour by following in Jordan’s footsteps and heading into the I’m A Celeb jungle.

When asked if he’d do the ITV show, Chris says: “I love I’m A Celebrity, it’s the biggest show isn’t it? He [Jordan] had a really weird time because, obviously, he did it when it was in the castle so I don’t know if it’d be a totally different proposition doing the jungle.

“But, yeah, who doesn’t want to do that show it’d be terrifying. But then I feel like I’ve kind of had a year of doing things that… I had a really crappy start to the year with my health and that’s where you actually get a little bit scared and, I think, it kind of gives you a little bit of perspective with how ridiculous and fun can your job be where you go and do something like that. I kind of like the idea of taking on a few challenges and, maybe, this has kind of reset my brain a bit to kind of give things a go. I don’t know I think it’d be an amazing thing to go down”.
