Duchess reportedly 'pleased' with 40.7 million views despite backlash in Britain
Meghan Markle’s playful ‘Baby Momma Dance’ video has become a viral sensation with Gen Z audiences, drawing over 40.7 million views on Instagram just days after its release.
The 43-year-old Duchess of Sussex is said to be 'pleased' with the overwhelming response, even as critics in Britain label the clip 'vulgar.' According to a source close to the Sussexes, Meghan is embracing the video's popularity among younger audiences and American fans.
The light-hearted clip, originally filmed in 2021, features Meghan and Harry dancing in a hospital delivery room while awaiting the birth of their daughter. Set to the viral track The Baby Momma Dance by Starrkeisha, the video was shared last week to mark their daughter’s fourth birthday.
While UK reaction has been described as 'prudish,' the source told Daily Mail: 'Americans and young people loved it. Meghan doesn’t care about the critics in Britain—her focus is on connecting with Gen Z, who thrive on viral moments.'
The source added: 'She knows that’s where the money and influence lie. She found the response hilarious and relatable.'
Despite sparking debate in the UK, Meghan appears to be celebrating the video’s international success, with the reel continuing to rack up millions of views.
