Kate Middleton’s Reaction to Meghan Markle’s Viral Dance Video Exposes Just How Deep Their Feud Has Become
Meghan Markle’s playful dance video may have gone viral online, but behind palace walls, it’s reportedly ignited fresh tension between her and Kate Middleton—and insiders say the Princess of Wales isn’t laughing.
The video, which resurfaced on social media, features Meghan dancing to Starrkeisha’s The Baby Momma Dance in the final days of her pregnancy with Princess Lilibet.
The upbeat clip shows Prince Harry and Meghan letting loose and embracing a fun, candid moment before their daughter’s birth, with fans calling it “adorable”—while critics labeled it “cringe-worthy.”
But the most surprising reaction reportedly came from Kate Middleton herself, who insiders claim was deeply unimpressed—and didn’t hesitate to share her private thoughts.
According to Radar Online, both Kate and Prince William saw the video and were appalled, allegedly viewing it as yet another example of the Sussexes “chasing the spotlight.” A royal insider revealed, “They thought it was so tacky and a very sad illustration of just how desperate and shameless the Sussexes have become with their attention-seeking behavior.”
The source didn’t hold back when describing Kate’s alleged response: “Kate’s privately told people that she wouldn’t be caught dead acting in such a vulgar fashion.” The future queen, known for her composed and traditional image, reportedly saw the dance clip as tasteless and unbecoming of a royal—especially one still clinging to a duchess title.
William’s reaction was said to be equally intense. “It was incredibly galling for William to see his brother fooling around like a goofy teenager,” said the insider, suggesting that the Duke of Cambridge felt embarrassed watching the Duke of Sussex perform in such a casual, unserious light.
This latest behind-the-scenes jab adds another layer to the long-running feud between the royal brothers—and now, seemingly, their wives. While Harry and Meghan continue to chart their own path across the Atlantic, Kate and William remain rooted in royal duty, a contrast that’s often fueled media narratives of division.

The rift between the couples reportedly began long before the dance video, tracing back to William’s initial disapproval of Meghan and escalating with the Sussexes’ bombshell 2021 Oprah interview and Prince Harry’s memoir Spare, which openly criticized his family and royal upbringing.
For Kate, who reportedly once tried to help Meghan adjust to royal life, the dance video may have felt like a slap in the face—a reminder of just how far Meghan has distanced herself from the values and decorum expected within The Firm.
And for Meghan, sharing a personal, lighthearted video might have been a celebration of motherhood and authenticity—but in royal circles, where image and dignity are paramount, that spontaneity doesn’t always land well.
It’s unclear whether Meghan intended to stir controversy with the clip, but the fallout suggests it’s reopened wounds that had barely begun to scab over. With no signs of reconciliation between the Sussexes and the Waleses, every move—no matter how innocent—seems to trigger new waves of criticism and commentary.
What started as a fun moment on camera has now become the latest flashpoint in a cold war between sisters-in-law who once stood side by side.
As both couples continue living separate lives—one in royal tradition, the other in celebrity culture—the gap between them only seems to grow. And if Kate’s alleged reaction is anything to go by, that gap may now be too wide to ever bridge.
