Meghan Markle isn’t letting the haters knock her down.
In a preview clip for the next episode of the “Aspire” podcast, set to drop Tuesday, the Duchess of Sussex jokes about the now-viral video she shared of her and Prince Harry dancing around the delivery room.
“You have to be authentic,” the As Ever founder tells host Emma Grede, before asking, “Did you see my ‘Baby Momma’ dance?”
Grede admits that she had indeed seen the video, telling Markle that she even “did a little secret cheer” for her while watching it. “Like, I wanna see that happiness and that honesty and that ‘I don’t give a f–k’ kind of thing,” the podcast host adds.
“By the way, that wasn’t yesterday,” Markle clarifies, reminding fans and critics that she recorded the video while she was pregnant with Princess Lilibet in 2021.
“That was four years ago. So it’s also a really great reminder that, with all the noise or whatever people do, there’s still a whole life. A real, authentic, fun life that’s happening behind the scenes.”
“I’m just grateful that now, being back on social as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms,” she concludes.
The comments come after the “With Love, Meghan” host, 43, shared the throwback video via Instagram for her daughter’s fourth birthday on June 4 — and faced immediate backlash.
In the clip, Markle danced next to her hospital bed in a black labor and delivery gown to the viral “Baby Momma Dance Song.” Prince Harry, 40, could be seen crossing back and forth in front of the screen in a casual hoodie and jeans.
“Four years ago today, this also happened,” Markle captioned the video post.
“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! 😂.”
Followers took to X to express their dismay. “Everything they do to be ‘relatable’ is weirdly not relatable. It’s bizarre how they never miss,” wrote one person, while another called the video “fake and cringe.”
Others, however, enjoyed the pre-birth dance, writing things like, “SO CUTE,” “LOOOOVE!! Go Meghan and Harry!” and “parenting goals.”
Markle’s pal Christopher Bouzy also came to the couple’s defense, blasting the harsh critics of the video.
“Imagine, for a moment, what it would feel like to have some of the happiest and most vulnerable moments of your life turned into ammunition for hate,” Bouzy told Newsweek.
He further slammed conspiracy theorists who questioned the legitimacy of Markle’s baby bump.
“Every maternity dress and every baby video becomes ‘evidence’ for strangers obsessively trying to prove your pregnancies were a sham. It is sickening and cruel,” he argued.
“Beyond the personal toll on Meghan and Harry, there’s a broader societal damage to consider.”
He continued on, adding, “When conspiracy theories like these flourish, they corrode our collective grasp on reality and decency.”
Despite the intense backlash, the couple was seen stepping out for a family trip to Disneyland with Lilibet and Prince Archie, 6, in June.
Markle also paid tribute to her husband over the weekend with a sweet video montage of the prince with his two children.
“The best,” she captioned the home videos via Instagram. “Happy Father’s Day to our favorite guy 💕.”
