Meghan Markle has shared a video of her and Prince Harry dancing as part of a throwback post filmed by their daughter, Princess Lilibet.
The couple was seen spinning barefoot on the grass as their four-year-old filmed the dance.
The Duchess of Sussex also shared an image of her and her husband on a trip to Botswana in August 2016.
She captioned the post on Instagram: “When 2026 feels just like 2016….you had to be there.”

The post appears to be the royals’ take on a viral social media trend, which sees people share nostalgic photos of themselves from 2016.
The video sees Harry showing off his dancing skills as the couple dances in the black-and-white video, with Meghan saying the credit for the video was “our daughter”.
The post comes just hours after fresh polling data revealed Meghan has received her lowest-ever approval rating.
YouGov’s latest Royal Family favourability tracker, released on Friday morning, showed a mere 19 per cent of Britons now hold a positive view of the American-born royal.
The figure represented an unprecedented low point for the duchess since tracking began.
Meanwhile, negative sentiment towards Meghan has climbed to 66 per cent, meaning roughly two in three people across the country view her unfavourably.

Despite the negative findings, polling also suggests favourability can vary substantially by age group and geography, with younger Britons more likely to view the Sussexes positively and recent US polls showing stronger support for both Harry and Meghan abroad.
The stark numbers emerge as reports suggest she may return to British soil for the first time since 2022.
She is anticipated to travel to Birmingham this summer for an Invictus Games celebration, which would end a four-year absence from the United Kingdom.
Should the visit proceed, it would serve as a one-year countdown event ahead of the 2027 Invictus Games.
Whether the couple’s two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, would join them on British soil remains unclear.
The potential trip comes at a particularly challenging moment, given the polling figures, though the Invictus Games charity, founded by Prince Harry, continues to hold significant personal importance for the duke and duchess.

Any return to Britain appears contingent upon the restoration of armed police protection for the couple.
Harry previously mounted an unsuccessful legal challenge against the decision to withdraw his taxpayer-funded security detail following his departure from official royal duties.
The duke lost that court battle, leaving the couple without state protection during visits to Britain.
Harry is set to return to the UK this week as his High Court trail against Associated Newspapers Limited is expected to begin on January 19.
