Meghan Markle is unbothered.
The Duchess of Sussex’s response to the frosty reception her viral delivery room dancing video received last week has been revealed, with insiders claiming she saw the clip as a “huge hit.”
The “Suits” alum, 43, was mercilessly mocked after sharing a rare video of her and Prince Harry dancing in the hospital while awaiting the birth of their daughter Lilibet in 2021.
The video, which Markle uploaded in honor of Lilibet’s fourth birthday on June 4, showed the former actress “drop it low” while dancing to Starrkeisha’s then-viral song, “The Baby Momma Dance,” while cradling her baby bump.
The clip immediately garnered mixed reactions from followers, but it appears as though that didn’t break the As Ever founder’s spirit.
“Meghan is very pleased with the video. In the UK everyone’s reaction has been a bit prudish but everywhere else, particularly in America and especially with young people, it has been a huge hit,” a source told the Daily Mail.
The former working royal, who announced her lifestyle brand to the world earlier this year, is currently said to be gearing up for the release of her new rosé wine.
According to insiders, Markle believes that the video has done a good job of laying the groundwork for sales boosts.
“She and her team count it [the video] as a ‘win,’ which can only be a boost for sales. Her new products are marketed at Americans and not at the UK market,” she source added.
The Post has reached out to Markle’s reps for comment.
Markle shared the video, which has since been dubbed as “cringe-worthy” by critics, on Instagram, writing, “Four years ago today, this also happened.”
“Both of our children were a week past their due dates,” she went on, “so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn’t work – there was only one thing left to do!”
As the As Ever founder sings along to the tune to induce Lilibet’s birth, the Invictus Games founder, 40, shimmies across the delivery room before stepping out of view and returning with his hood drawn over his head.
The couple, who wed in 2018 and welcomed their son, Prince Archie, 6, in May 2019, continue grooving together to the song as it comes to an end.
Moments later, critics took to social media to ridicule the “With Love, Meghan” Netflix star over the clip.
“I feel nauseous,” one person tweeted, while another added, “Oh my. That’s…really…awful.”
“They are cringe to the max!” commented a third, while a fourth person wrote, “That is one lumpy baby belly.”
However, some fans of the renegade royal rushed to applaud the refreshing clip, commenting that the couple “look like they have so much fun together.”
“This is everything! Harry on beat and Meghan dropping it like it’s hot,” one person tweeted. “They look like they have so much fun together.”
“Bet Lili came quickly after those dance moves,” added another. “It helps.”
“I love this so much,” commented a third. “Who knew that Prince Harry & Meghan Markle were hot steppers?”
The Sussexes welcomed Lilibet, whose full name is Princess Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, on June 4, 2021.
Her birth came more than one year after the couple quit their royal duties and moved to Montecito, Calif.
Lilibet was named after the late Queen Elizabeth’s family nickname, according to her birth announcement, while her middle name, Diana, “was chosen to honor her beloved late grandmother, the Princess of Wales.”
