Meghan and Harry: Twerk Scandal in Hospital Causes Royal Stir
Shortly before the birth of their daughter Lilibet, Duchess Meghan (43) posted a video showing her and Prince Harry (40) dancing exuberantly in a hospital room. She swings her hips and twerks, apparently to stimulate the overdue labor. Her credo? "When spicy food, hours of walking, and acupuncture didn't help – there was only one thing left!" An unusual approach that is causing a lot of conversation.
Why the World is Upside Down
The Sussex clan has already made headlines since their move to the USA and their break with the British royal family. The relationship with King Charles III (76) and Prince William (42) is considered shattered. In Britain, the sting runs deep that Harry and Meghan have left their royal life behind. It is hardly surprising that such an unconventional appearance in their old homeland is causing a major stir.
The Avalanche of Criticism
The British press and royal experts are overflowing with their opinions. Sarah Vine from the "Daily Mail" headlines sharply: "Did they think it would make them popular with the masses if they twerked like trailer-trash teenagers?" A harsh blow below the belt, alluding to a derogatory term for people from trailer parks.
"The Sun" describes the clip as "cringe" – meaning embarrassingly awkward. Royal expert Ingrid Seward is appalled: "They can do what they want, but why should they post it online? Doesn't Meghan have any boundaries? I think it's vulgar, unnecessary, and attention-seeking." She also accuses the couple of hypocrisy, as they are otherwise so concerned about their privacy.
Richard Fitzwilliams (75), another royal expert, also expresses criticism. He initially thought the Instagram account had been hacked and it was a fake. He wonders, "How unroyal can one be?" While he emphasizes Meghan's right to publish such clips, he sees it as "our privilege to judge" – without explaining exactly where he derives this "privilege" from.
An Eternal Mystery: Privacy versus Performance
The twerk video once again raises the question of how Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan see their role in the public eye. On one hand, they vehemently demand privacy, while on the other hand, they repeatedly stage themselves with such unusual appearances, which inevitably lead to new discussions. One thing is certain: It is never boring with the two of them!
