Royal Family receives support after surprise comment on controversial video
Royal Palace gets hijacked by Jamie Laing and his pregnant wife.
The famous couple visited Buckingham Palace and had a lovely meet and greet session with King Charles.
Laing’s wife shared the cherishing moments with his Instagram family from the memorable visit. She captioned the post: “Truly honoured to meet and shake hands with His Majesty, King Charles”
The Palace held a reception that celebrated The King’s Trust charity, established by King Charles in 1976 to support disadvantaged young people.
The organisation has helped over one million individuals access education, work, and training opportunities. High-profile guests, including George and Amal Clooney, attended the event to honour the charity’s annual award recipients.
The post came after Royal Family’s social media account has reacted to a video of Jamie Laing and his pregnant wife Sophie Habboo dancing on the Grand Staircase at Buckingham Palace with a cheeky comment.
The couple, who are reality TV personalities, filmed themselves performing the viral “Baby Mama” dance during a reception for the King’s Trust charity.
The official Royal Family Instagram account replied to Laing’s post, saying: “We see you”, accompanied by eye and winking emojis.
The King’s Trust joined in the lighthearted exchange, commenting: “All of our attendees are very well behaved” with similar emojis and a laughing face.
A Palace aide confirmed that no offence was taken, stating: “I’m sure it was done in a spirit of fun, and of course aligned to Jamie’s wonderful support for The King’s Trust Awards – even if it’s not something we would greatly encourage every guest to attempt.”
The aide added that the Royal Family account has a sense of humour, suggesting a visit to the Tower of London with a hashtag “Winkyfacelolz”.
The couple’s dance was inspired by a viral video posted by Meghan Markle, which showed her twerking to the Baby Mama song in a hospital delivery suite before giving birth to Princess Lilibet.
The video sparked irony among social media users, with one follower commenting: “When you get to do it at the Palace but Harry and Meghan couldn’t.”
