The rhythm may get you, but for Harry and Meghan, it’s also getting them backlash. A newly circulated video of the couple dancing in a hospital room has traditionalists demanding their royal titles be revoked, proving the Sussexes can’t step out of controversy’s spotlight.
Filmed during Meghan’s pregnancy, the sweet moment shows the Duchess lifting her hospital gown to a viral dance trend while Harry beams beside her. Critics immediately pounced, calling it “beneath royal dignity” and further evidence the couple disrespects tradition.
“This is why the Queen should have stripped their titles in 2020,” fumed one commentator, while royal expert Angela Levin deemed it “another slap to the monarchy.” Yet medical professionals and young parents rushed to defend the couple, noting dancing is recommended for labor preparation and questioning why royal status should negate normal human joy.
The timing intensified scrutiny, coming alongside reports of Meghan using her “HRH” designation on a personal gift—a move critics see as hypocrisy after their royal exit terms. Supporters argue both incidents are being weaponized by anti-Sussex factions.
As debates rage, one truth emerges: every Harry and Meghan moment, no matter how personal, becomes a referendum on their complicated place within—and against—the institution they left behind.
