As the world waits for news of Baby Sussex big arrival, footage has emerged of what appears to be Meghan Markle's little bump putting on a bit of a show.

During a public appearance at the UK's National Theatre in January, Markle's bump was seen moving and grooving, clearly not wanting to be left out.

The footage shows then 6-months-pregnant Meghan cradling her baby bump as a little hand or foot kicks and makes the Duchess' cream dress wrinkle on impact.

A woman named Francesca, who runs the Duke and Duchess of Sussex fan account @harry_meghan_updates on Instagram, was first to notice, posting: "We saw your little foot or hand!

"You're a very active little one!

"Here you said hello during your mum's visit to the National Theatre."

However, this is not the first time Baby Sussex has been seen moving. A month earlier, in December, Markle was filmed at the British Fashion Awards placing her hands on her bump as her baby appeared to shift.

Meghan is understood to have been around 5-months pregnant at the time, early enough to be feeling small kicks and wiggles.

In February, when Markle would likely have been 7-months pregnant, the Duchess was seen gasping and grabbed her baby bump during an engagement in Bristol with husband Prince Harry.

Royal fans may be waiting longer than expected to catch a glimpse of Baby Sussex following a statement from Kensington Palace last week: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very grateful for the goodwill they have received from people throughout the United Kingdom and around the world as they prepare to welcome their baby.

"Their Royal Highnesses have taken a personal decision to keep the plans around the arrival of their baby private.

"The Duke and Duchess look forward to sharing the exciting news with everyone once they have had an opportunity to celebrate privately as a new family."
