BUCKINGHAM Palace has cheekily responded to a clip posted by Jamie Laing appearing to mock Harry and Meghan’s baby dance video.
The former Made In Chelsea star filmed himself and his pregnant wife Sophie Haboo as they recreated The Sussexes’ infamous “Baby Mama” dance.
A caption on the video reads: “They said we couldn’t film in Buckingham Palace.”
The footage, posted to Jamie’s 1.6million followers on Instagram, shows the couple dancing at the royal residence, just metres from portraits of senior royals.
Responding to the pair breaking the rules on filming in the palace, the Royal Family clearly saw the funny side.
Its official Instagram account commented: “We see you,” adding a pair of eye and wink emojis.
The pair danced to Starrkeisha’s Baby Mama, the same track used in Meghan and Harry’s cringey original clip.
While Jamie and Sophie’s video could have sparked a royal backlash, palace aides appeared to see the funny side.
Sophie, wearing a pastel yellow halter-neck dress, shows off her growing baby bump as Laing points to it.
The King’s Trust, which hosted the reception, also responded. “All of our attendees are very well behaved,” it joked, with a laughing emoji.
Fans were quick to react – with one joking: “When you get to do it at the Palace but Harry and Meghan couldn’t lol.”
Another added: “In a world at times worrying and serious, this comment was so needed.”
Meghan, 43, posted the cringey hospital dance footage to celebrate daughter Lilibet’s fourth birthday earlier this month.
It showed the former actress, heavily pregnant with their second child, making rowing movements and shimmying her shoulders beside a bed.
Prince Harry also shuffles across in a hoodie to the strains of then-viral pregnancy hit The Baby Momma Dance.
Meghan shared the 80-second clip with her three million followers on Instagram after earlier posting photos of her daughter.
Royal expert Ingrid Seward slammed Meghan for being a hypocrite as the couple regularly whine about a lack of privacy.
She told The Sun: “They can do what they like but why put it online?
“Does Meghan have no boundaries? I think it’s vulgar, unnecessary, attention-seeking.”
The King’s Trust, set up by King Charles in 1976, supports disadvantaged young people.
It has helped more than a million into work, education or training.
Jamie and Sophie were just two of several high-profile guests at the palace event, alongside George and Amal Clooney.

SHARLENE Mawdsley joked “Taxi man taking his duties very seriously” after getting dropped off at Dublin Airport by boyfriend Michael Breen.
She was in her Team Ireland gear for the early start as she’s heading to Slovenia to compete in this weekend’s European Athletics Team Championships.
She shared a pic of her dragging her bags into Terminal 2 on Instagram.
It was captioned: “My taxi man taking his duties very seriously this morning.”
On Monday the 26-year-old had confirmed she would be making her competitive return for the first time in over a month in Slovenia.
In the intervening weeks she had had to mourn her father Thomas’ death after he passed away on June 3.
But on Global Olympic Day she informed fans she will be on the track over Saturday and Sunday.
She said: “Happy Olympic day. A last minute decision but I’ll be stepping into the Irish kit again this weekend for the European team championships.”
Mawdsley has been confirmed for the 4x400m mixed relay, with Cillin Greene, Ciaran Carthy, Sophie Becker, and Callum Baird completing the Irish line-up.
And fans on social media backed her to make her dad proud regardless of the result in Maribor.
One said: “Delighted to see this, give the heavens something to smile about.” Meanwhile a second added: “Your father would be proud.”
A third hailed: “Great to see you back training. It’s been a very tough few weeks.”
Lastly, Muireann O’Connell praised: “Well done Sharlene, we’re all thinking of you.”
Mawdsley has become one of Ireland’s brightest sports stars in recent years.
She bagged silver and gold in the women’s and mixed 4x400m relays respectively at the European Athletics Championships in 2024.
The Newport AC export followed that with a promising performance at the Paris Olympics that saw her narrowly miss out on a medal.
During her dad’s funeral, she credited her ability to achieve her dreams on the track to her dad’s unwavering support and belief.
She said: “He made me trust that my dreams were never too big and, for that, some of my dreams have already come true. The best part is I got to share them with you, Dad.”
In her last outing in Philadelphia the 400m specialist was in fine form as she placed second in a season’s-best 200m time of 23.24.
In addition to that showing on the Sunday at the big-money Grand Slam Track event, she also came sixth in the long sprints category 24 hours previous.
