LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Meghan Markle faced brutal trolling from British haters after she shared a throwback video of herself twerking in the delivery room before daughter Lilibet’s birth.

However, the Duchess of Sussex seems to have put the embarrassment behind her as she and her team consider it a major "win."

The 43-year-old ‘Suits’ alum took to her Instagram on June 5 to share the playful and slightly "cringey" throwback video of herself to honor her daughter's fourth birthday.

The candid moment shows Meghan in the late stages of her pregnancy, dancing around a hospital room to the song ‘Baby Mama’ with Prince Harry by her side, in an attempt to induce labour.

"Four years ago today, this also happened. 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!" she wrote in the caption.

Meghan Markle doesn’t care about Brit haters calling her ‘vulgar’

The video of Meghan Markle twerking in the delivery room divided fans, with many Brits calling it "cringeworthy." However, despite the backlash she received, the Duchess of Sussex is ecstatic about the response in America.

"Meghan doesn’t care about the haters in Britain calling her vulgar. Americans thought the twerking video was hilarious and relatable,” a source told the Daily Mail.

“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,” the insider continued.

With all the chatter about her dance moves, Meghan's team counts the twerking video as a big hit as she is all set to launch a series of new products as part of her As Ever line, including rose wine.

"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,” the insider claimed.

Brushing away the criticism, Meghan and Prince Harry celebrated their four-year-old daughter’s birthday with a family trip to Disneyland, California.

Earlier this week, the mother of two shared a montage from the two-day family outing, wearing Mickey Mouse ears, Lilibet clutching plush toys, and a towering Little Mermaid-themed cake.

“Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!” she wrote in the caption.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle considered changing their family name to ‘Spencer’

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry once considered changing their family name to the birth name of his mother, Diana, as British officials delayed issuing passports for their two children.

During an in-person meeting between Prince Harry and his uncle Earl Spencer, the idea was made out of "sheer exasperation," according to the Guardian.

Earl was “enthusiastic and supportive of the name change,” the outlet said.

The discussion was rendered moot, nevertheless, as Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet's UK passports were eventually granted, just days after the Sussexes' attorneys threatened to file a data subject access request.

Adopting the birth name of his mother would probably have further deepened the rift between Harry and the royal family, which shows no signs of being healed.
