Just watched a video of Megan Markle, heavily pregnant & about to get ready to give birth, twerking. Thought she was amazing, radiant, bags of energy, especially when she managed to get low down to twerk. Oh then Harry joined in, such fun they were having.

Lots of very normal couples do things like this

Lots of normal couples are of no interest to the public and are not 5th in line to the throne!

There’s nothing ‘normal’ about the behaviour of this particular couple and as Meghan seems hell bent on upping the ante I shudder to think what she next has in store for us.

Late 30’s , not old but a young couple ? Surely all they do in their home isn’t suitable for social media!

25Avalon Thu 05-Jun-25 14:23:19

Who took the video?

Ilovedogs22 Thu 05-Jun-25 14:25:39

Coudt it have been an old corgi spy perchance ???

Any 'normal' couple wouldn't want the whole world to know.

I loved the pictures of Harry & Megan dancing in order to help the baby move-along a bit, joyous & lovely.
We dance like twits at our home, twerking doesn't have to be sexy,
it can be daft & silly, just as Megan & Harry's clearly was.
Stop demonising this young family, go and have a twerky dance, it might calm you haters down a little
Anyway I'm off to twerk to a song by Mabel. Byeee 👈👉👆🖕🤘✋

I agree.
If some posters find H and M so abhorrent I don't understand why they spend so much time reading about them

It reminded me of Ed Balls doing gangnam style on Strictly.

Dancing out of your age group.

Except somehow he was funny and this is just cringeworthy. I think because he knew he looked silly and was laughing at himself and they think they look cool and ‘wicked’ 👈🏼👉🏼🤘🏼

I see conspiracy theorists point out she was still in ordinary clothes with jewellery and no cannula when she was supposed to be induced. Maybe the midwife videod before getting her to get into the hospital gown? All very weird.

Spy Corgis, brilliant.

annamarie1 Thu 05-Jun-25 14:45:02

Rubbish . My friend did a squat and her waters broke and induced labour much better than doctor opening cervix and snips the amniotic fluid so painful . You need retrained 🫨

That video makes my toes curl. So, so embarrassing for a middle aged couple.

There is something not quite right with her baby bump. I swear I could see what looks like the outline of a rectangle pillow under her black dress.

Meghan will do anything for publicity and Harry is an idiot.

I had DS at home in 1970. My midwife made me squat down and wash the kitchen floor. If I needed a wee she made me squat over a plastic bucket, standing behind me to support my back.

Didn’t half hurry things up! 😂

They are 5th in line to be King and Queen consort

We'd have to have a referendum on the future of the Monarchy if that ever (heaven forbid) became a possibility.

Of course, as they want to avoid publicity and the intrusion of the British Press at all costs, then I fully expect Harry to abdicate his position in the line of succession any time soon. 🙂

Sometimes one has a splurge of energy just before the birth. I remember cleaning windows, going for a hospital appointment to be told I had to go home, pack a bag and go straight back in (two weeks early) as the birth was imminent, then saying "But I'd planned to go shopping on the way home!".

Twerking wasn't invented then.

Yes they want to avoid publicity etc, but they could be centre of
attention everywhere, would they bring back the rule that curtsy’s and bows are expected at all times, would they want this ? Surely not !

Does anyone hate them?

Or do they think they are just rather ridiculous publicity seekers who profess to want to avoid publicity?

I feel sorry for Harry as he seems to be in limbo in a rather pointless, directionless existence at the moment, like a little boy lost. He despises and ridicules the Monarchy and all it stands for, yet is quite happy to retain a title and his place in the line of succession.

He needs to make up his mind, stop being hypocritical and cut his ties completely.

Oldbat1 Thu 05-Jun-25 16:24:11

Why on earth release this??? Sad sad sad.

Mt61 Thu 05-Jun-25 16:31:11

Oh I am certainly not interested in that pair, but she’s obviously interested, that we are still interested in her. It’s all BS that they want this private life.
They can twerk all they want, but please do it in private.

It's a little bit cringworthy, most videos like this are but it's also full of happy future parents and joy. Lots of very normal couples do things like this.

This thread though... I just read with utter shock. A confusing mix of anger and conspiracy theories I did not expect at all

Are you a new poster NiceDream?

If so, you must toughen up and not be so ‘shocked’ and Pearl clutching.

H&M are the gift that keep on giving here on GN.

Their antics keep us on our toes, and any thread about them stretches to several pages.

If only they knew how much enjoyment we get from reading and commenting about all their ridiculous happenings….

Churchview Thu 05-Jun-25 16:41:38

I'm with NiceDream on the conspiracy theories.
Absolutely bananas.

Maremia Thu 05-Jun-25 16:54:31

In answer to your question Sadgrandma, probably because people continue to be interested. That's 2 full pages on GN already.

Maremia Thu 05-Jun-25 16:56:10

AAAAArg! It's 3 pages

Fun fun fun & rather charming. Have you never had a silly dance with your family Oldbat1??? Live a little. 😊
