During an appearance on The Circuit with Emily Chang, Meghan Markle said that she contemplated whether or not to share the video. "I waffle with some of my choices before I make them," she admitted. "I'm generally very decisive, but social media is a great barometer for me, because putting out a video of myself, nine months pregnant, was a really big choice.

Meghan Markle stressed throughout the interview that she is a "real person." She hoped to be seen as relatable, she said, admitting, "I wanted people to see themselves in my story and our story. And to be able to show that with all the noise that might happen in the world on a day-to-day basis, real life is still happening behind the scenes, really real life."

In the controversial clip, Meghan Markle showed her quirky side alongside Prince Harry as they danced around a hospital room. "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 went on to say that the backlash didn't make an impression on her. She said of haters lobbing criticism at the clip, "I'm sure they did. I don't know. But I also protect myself from seeing that."
