Meghan Markle is facing backlash after the Duchess shared a behind-the-scenes video of herself and Prince Harry dancing in a hospital room ahead of the birth of their daughter, Princess Lilibet.

While the footage brought smile to many fans, not everyone was impressed-most notably, Celia Walden, wife of broadcaster Piers Morgan.

The 43-year-old Duchess posted a light hearted moment on social media, showing her and Harry, 40, dancing around the maternity suite at their Santa Barbara hospital.

Though some praised the playful moment, Walden strongly disapproved during an appearance on ITV's Lorraine, where she discussed the video with Ranvir Singh and Reverend Richard Coles.

'I think we are going to see more and more stuff offered up for public consumption,' broadcaster Celia said, before adding: 'As she gets a bit more desperate to make people like her.'

Elsewhere, Riverend Richard acknowledged that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have to fund a 'very lavish life,' explaining: 'The opportunities for earning that kind of money you'd need to keep that show on the road, are few and the pressure then is on if you are going to feed the beast, what's the next tip that you throw.'

Reflecting on Harry and Meghan's 2020 decision to stepped down as senior working royals in pursuit of financial independence and privacy, Celia added: 'There's no judgment, but you can't have both'.

While the conversation turned critical at times, presenter Ranvir Singh came to Meghan's defense saging:

'I kind of love it because I think it's really funny and warm. It's impressive, is not it? She's a great dancer-though I'm not sure so sure about Harry.'

To note, Prince Harry also joins in the clip, entering the frame in a hoodie as the viral track The Baby Momma Dance plays in the background.
