To mark Lilibet's 4th birthday, they've uploaded this video. I think it's cute and fun but the usual haters are out in force.

She clearly has a monitor on under her dress but people are claiming it's a pillow, and people are also claiming it's not possible to dance like that while heavily pregnant (it totally is, if you're in good shape)

Also the horrible comments from men saying she must have got a lot of practice in, giving lap dances on yachts

Don't really know what people's problem is with these two tbh.

I knew Harry had rhythm and it's good to see she has too.

They look happy, which made me smile. Good for them.

Ok . You’ve clearly not read either book

Charles cooperated with at least two books which ‘stabbed his parents in the back’ as you put it .
He painted his father as a bully who mocked him and his mother as cold. I believe both are most likely true .

I have read Spare and all the palace machinations and infighting is happening just as he described it would
I hope he keeps going . It’s about time people saw through the lies we’re are fed about the Windsors .
They are a disgrace and it’s time they went . At the very least turn off the money tap - children and old people are suffering financially in this declining country and the Windsors don’t even have the decency to return the money they’ve stolen from our public services!
But yes let’s call a woman dancing in labour a ‘disgrace’

Btw a PP said the majority dislike Harry
Absolute lies - most particularly as we’ve never been asked ! And no- the paid for polls in tabloids do not count

Edited

There was also the whole Tampon gate Debacle ,I can't imagine the late Queen being thrilled by that

XiCi · 05/06/2025 14:12

Surely that video won't disprove any moonbump theories! She scoops it up and moves it round like a cushion while she dances 😂😂

I loved it and that’s a rare response from me for those two. It’s just so nice to see some positive portrayal of normal labour rather than the usual bone chilling terror and negativity that drives countless women to unnecessary elective sections (takes hat and coat and ducks on her way out)

I had one because my baby nearly died. Does that help?

Well you wouldn't have liked it's a " Royal knockout " then.

nope - there was a reason why they never repeated it!

Ahh, but I’m not a normal human.

Clearly!

No need to bring me into though :)

It’s a bit silly- honestly i think it’s a bit cringey for people in the their late 30s tbh. I think regardless of who is doing it there is going to be a difference of opinion about whether people think these dancey videos are cute or cringey. I definitely fall into the cringey camp but I do get some people like them!

I think the issue I have with it is that part of the contract to be Royal is the mystery and aloofness that comes with it. I don’t really like seeing member of the royal family with titles acting like celebrities or simply ordinary people I suppose. Harry has become a bit ‘common’ I guess which I know some people love about him But to me if you are a Prince, taking the role seriously is par for the course. I just feel Prince Harry would just be happier if they just renounced his titles and just became ordinary Harry Sussex and live a quiet life away from all of it. Then he can just do what he likes.

This is interesting

You want to believe in a fairytale and are happy to swallow lies. That is what it is to be a royalist . Titles and other nonsense to cover the stink of their greed and abuses .
This is the core of the objection to the video - Harry is being normal .
Ive a shock for you - there is no such thing as ‘royalty’ it was a lie when the wheeze was invented and it’s a lie now . All the Windsors are ordinary . Dull and unintelligent .
Most every day people you meet have more about them .

The Windsors are ripping us off and continue to get away with it while fools need this hoax to be real

Applesonthelawn · 05/06/2025 14:18

I think she looks great and they are not working royals so shouldn't need to care about their reputation or upholding the dignity of the monarchy or any of that. But there is a tension between doing that and not having completely given up on the perks of royalty, such as the titles, the free publicity for their business endeavours, etc. They do not have the self-awareness to recognise that tension so they will continue to be criticised (fairly in my view).

Their wealth and greed is sickening. They are dim and unattractive.

ERthree · 05/06/2025 14:19

Why if you are so desperate for privacy that you move continents would you release this video 4 years after the event? Desperation i think.

Solaire18381 · 05/06/2025 14:20

I don't know why they'd make that public. Not in the public interest and also embarrassing. No one needs to see that.

Idontgiveashitanymore · 05/06/2025 14:21

Not interested in them at all. They are both awful people who are constantly hogging the limelight to get noticed.
just ignore them.

How do you feel about the enormous amount of wealth King Charles and William have
And the fact they are terrible landlords who allow their tenants to live in dangerous properties
Whilst living an enormously privileged life themselves?

Escapingagain · 05/06/2025 14:22

A bit cringe tbh. Some things are meant to be private but isn’t that why they left the Rf…,

I think it stinks......I was refering to the whole damn lot of them.

sualipa · 05/06/2025 14:24

This video by itself is worth 10 of Kate's sachharine over engineered themed seasons videos. No wonder they wanted them out.

I found it uncomfortable to watch - second-hand embarrassment! and uncomfortable in a physical sense.

To be clear: I am not one of those who think Meghan 'faked' her pregnancies - not at all. She's clearly been pregnant twice - no issue.

But I did think her bump looked very, very odd. I know she's very slender and pregnancy shows up very obviously on slim people, but even so...

If that really is her un-augmented pregnancy bump, I'm surprised she could even stand, never mind twerk! It really turned my own stomach seeing the huge distension of her body. I wonder if she had a C-section? All kinds of gruesome thoughts have been prompted by this video, which I wish I could un-see.

I had similar with my third pregnancy and was active throughout until 37 weeks (very physical job). I would assume she probably continued working out to some extent if health allowed so its not at all unbelievable that she'd be able to move around still. I was able to run after toddler DC trying to escape a park 2 days before labour without too much issue and my bump was almost the size of hers once it dropped. I just had to hold it as I ran for comfort!

Cookiecrumblepie · 05/06/2025 14:24

Personally I think it's something so personal, I don't like this being shared. I think videos and memories are lovely but really should be for family and not the public. But each to their own.

Ahhh then that’s a completely different argument entirely if you don’t agree with the monarchy. That’s not what is being debated here. I am a royalist even if I know it is silly. You have ever right to campaign for the country to be a republic. I think republics tend to attach the worst of people to be Presidents but you are within your rights to want that.

I don’t see Harry relinquishing his titles and campaigning against the monarchy so he can just be an ordinary bloke. I would honestly have a huge amount of respect for him if he did that!! so funnily enough he wants all the trappings of being royal but still be an ordinary bloke. I just don’t think he can have his cake and eat it without criticism

Harry and meghan?! That’s a bit harsh. He’s not known for being very clever but I think you are being a bit mean!

Absolutely nothing to do with what I said about unnecessarily elective (elective means for no clinical indication) caused by media coverage.

I think so too

As a republican I was rather concerned when Harry married as I thought shit - those two will bring the young and the undecided back
So thank goodness the jealous Windsors hounded them out . Biggest mistake they’ve made in along time .

EastEndQueen · 05/06/2025 14:31

But yes, as OP asked, will not derail thread. Leaving.
