In the now-viral video, the Duchess is seen dancing with her husband, Prince Harry, in the hospital delivery room. She was wearing a black nursing gown as she showed off her moves.

In the caption, 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!”
