Meghan Markle posted a sweet, never-before-seen hospital video of when she was pregnant with her youngest child, daughter Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.

To celebrate Lili turning 4, Meghan took to Instagram to share some family photos, which included her hubby Harry.

“Happy birthday to our beautiful girl,” Meghan wrote in her first post. “Four years ago today she came into our lives – and each day is brighter and better because of it. Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day!”

The carousel featured black-and-white photos of Meghan and Lili. The first one featured a cute mommy-daughter moment of them snuggled up on a boat, while the other one showed Meghan holding Lili as a newborn.
She then put the spotlight on Prince Harry with another gallery of photos: “The sweetest bond to watch unfold,” she wrote about their father-daughter relationship. “Daddy’s little girl and favorite adventurer. Happy birthday Lili!”

And as the icing on the cake, she completed the celebratory posts with a video of Lili still in Meghan’s belly. She detailed her pregnancy journey, revealing that both of her children were a week past their listed due date, so she tried several methods to help induce labor. Only one thing made an impact: dancing.

“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!”

…there were also, of course, her usual online critics, who didn’t appreciate how carefree they were in the video:

Some added that it looks like she “stuffed a pillow” under her dress because of the lumps, while others speculated that the lumps were do to a heart monitor she was wearing around her belly.
But no matter the reality of the video, honestly, I don’t know how you could watch something so fun and lighthearted and still have something negative to say about it. But hey, everyone’s different.
