Meghan Markle has shared previously unseen photos to mark daughter Princess Lilibet’s fourth birthday.

The Duchess of Sussex also posted a quirky video of herself dancing with a huge baby bump while pregnant with Lilibet.

In the clip, Meghan plays it up for the camera, gyrating around the hospital’s labour ward to Starrkeisha’s The Baby Momma Dance.

Hoodie-wearing husband Prince Harry also gets jiggy with it, sideways dancing across the screen, getting down and raising his arms.

The throwback video was part of a viral trend at the time involving pregnant women dancing to the hit.

“Four years ago today, this also happened,” Meghan wrote on Instagram.

“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! 😂”

The duchess also posted two sweet black-and-white pictures of mother and daughter, with one of the images showing slightly more of Lilibet than usual.

Often Meghan’s photos only her children only from behind to protect their privacy.

But in one of the birthday pictures, Lilibet’s eyes and forehead can be seen tucked behind Meghan’s embrace.

Mother and daughter appear to be on a boat, with the wind whipping up their hair.

The second photo shows Meghan nursing Lilibet as a tiny infant.

“Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today she came into our lives  and each day is brighter and better because of it,” she captioned the post.

“Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day!”

In a third post, Meghan shares two photos of her husband with Lilibet — one with Harry cradling the baby bundle and the second of dad and daughter holding hands and running barefoot on a sand track.

“The sweetest bond to watch unfold 💕

“Daddy’s little girl and favourite adventurer.

“Happy birthday Lili!”

Lilibet was born on June 4, 2021, and became a princess when her grandfather Charles became the king.

Royal name change

In other news, it has been revealed that Harry and Meghan explored the idea of changing their family name to Spencer amid delays in their two children receiving British passports, The Guardian newspaper reports.

Harry believed that the passport delays were due to British officials blocking the applications because of the use of the Sussex surname and HRH titles (his or her royal highness) for his children, the newspaper said, citing an unnamed source.

A source told Reuters that the prince met his late mother Diana’s brother, Charles Earl Spencer, to discuss the family name.

The source also said other media reports which said Spencer had advised Harry against changing his surname and that the legal hurdles to doing so were insurmountable, were inaccurate.

Harry, the younger son of the King, stepped down from royal duties in 2020 and moved to California, where he lives with Meghan and children Archie and Lilibet.

Since leaving, he and Meghan have been highly critical of the royals in TV documentaries, an explosive interview with US chat show host Oprah Winfrey and most notably in Harry’s best-selling biography Spare.

The prince is barely on speaking terms with either his father or his elder brother, heir to the throne Prince William.

In a BBC interview last month, Harry said he wanted reconciliation with the royal family but that his father would not speak to him due to a separate row about his security.
