Built for Queen Victoria<\/a>, the Grand Staircase at Buckingham Palace<\/a> has been traversed by Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses.<\/p>\n

But never, one imagines, a twerking pregnant reality star and her radio presenter husband.<\/p>\n

Former Made In Chelsea<\/a> favourites Jamie Laing<\/a> – who now hosts a show on Radio One – and his wife Sophie Habboo<\/a>, who are expecting their first baby together, cheekily filmed themselves this afternoon recreating Harry and Meghan’s by now infamous ‘Baby Mama’ dance in the heart of the royal residence.<\/p>\n

It is unclear whether it was a dig at the former royals, who sparked huge debate after the Duchess of Sussex<\/a> posted a jaw-dropping video on Instagram of them doing the viral craze four years ago in the delivery suite shortly before she gave birth to their daughter, Princess Lilibet, earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Laing, who posted his video to his own Instagram account with 1.6million followers after attending a glittering reception at the royal residence to celebrate The King’s Trust charity, clearly knew he was bending the rules as he wrote: ‘They said we couldn’t film in Buckingham Palace.’<\/p>\n

The clip showed them gyrating on the sweeping red-carpeted and gilded staircase which leads up to the State Rooms, flanked by portraits of members of the Royal Family<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Pregnant <\/p>\n

Pregnant Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing poked\u00a0 fun at THAT cringe Meghan and Harry dance in an eyebrow-raising Instagram post filmed inside Buckingham Palace on Wednesday\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Last <\/p>\n

Last month Meghan marked her daughter’s fourth birthday as she shared a cringey throwback video of her and Harry twerking in front of a hospital bed before she went into labour\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the moment was most definitely a breach in protocol and could have sparked a royal meltdown, palace aides fortunately found the funny side.<\/p>\n

Its official Instagram account ‘theroyalfamily’ replied to the post saying: ‘We see you’ accompanied by a pair of eyes and a wink emojis.<\/p>\n

The King’s Trust entered the conversation in the spirit of the occasion, saying: ‘All of our attendees are very well behaved’ with the same look and a laughing emoji.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Presenter Fearne Cotton, who was also a guest, added: ‘You also had your pap camera out with a flash. Think of what the flash has done to those priceless paintings.’<\/p>\n

Another follower posted cheekily: ‘When you get to do it at the Palace but Harry and Meghan couldn’t lol’.<\/p>\n

Another remarked in response to the Royal Family’s reaction: ‘In a world at times worrying and serious this comment was so needed.’<\/p>\n

Proof that no offence was taken, a palace aide told the Mail: ‘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.’<\/p>\n

Referring to ‘theroyalfamily’ account’s official response, they added most definitely with tongue-in-cheek: ‘Proof that from time to time the Royal Family account has a sense of humour too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The clip showed them gyrating on the sweeping red-carpeted and gilded staircase which leads up to the State Rooms, flanked by portraits of members of the Royal Family\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"As <\/p>\n

As Sophie, 30, showcased her blossoming bump in a floral pastel yellow halter neck summer dress, her husband gestured at her bump as the track began to play<\/p>\n

\"In <\/p>\n

In Meghan’s video as Starrkeisha’s viral Baby Mama song begins to play, Meghan starts twerking in front of a hospital bed before she gyrates around the room and Harry joins her<\/p>\n

The King’s Trust entered the conversation in the spirit of the occasion, saying: ‘All of our attendees are very well behaved’ with the same look and a laughing emoji<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"Seeing <\/p>\n

Seeing the humourous side fans rushed to the comments as they penned: ‘When you get to do it at the Palace but Harry and Meghan couldn’t lol’<\/p>\n

\"Presenter <\/p>\n

Presenter Fearne Cotton, who was also a guest, added: ‘You also had your pap camera out with a flash. Think of what the flash has done to those priceless paintings’\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘As for Jamie, may we recommend a visit to the Tower of London. Hashtag Winkyfacelolz.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

The King’s Trust was set up by King Charles when he was Prince of Wales in 1976 to help disadvantaged young people get back into education, work and training.<\/p>\n

It has since gone on to help more than one million young people and is considered one of the biggest and most effective charities of its kind in the country.<\/p>\n

Laing, who is a supporter of its work, attended a reception at Buckingham Palace yesterday alongside the likes of George and Amal Clooney to highlight its annual awards for some of the charity’s greatest success stories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Built for Queen Victoria, the Grand Staircase at Buckingham Palace has been traversed by Kings and Queens, Princes…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":214264,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,92,7721,7719,7718,7720,1281,447,7710,519,813,7711],"class_list":{"0":"post-214263","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-dailymail","10":"tag-duchess-of-sussex","11":"tag-duke-of-sussex","12":"tag-harry","13":"tag-meghan","14":"tag-meghan-markle","15":"tag-prince-harry","16":"tag-royal-families","17":"tag-royal-family","18":"tag-tvshowbiz","19":"tag-uk-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114746344030124199","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214263","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=214263"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214263\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/214264"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=214263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=214263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=214263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
