Buckingham Palace has been lauded for the “best response ever” to Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo’s controversial video in which they seem to mock Meghan Markle.

Sophie, who is pregnant, appears to twerk in the clip Jamie posted on Instagram to mixed reaction yesterday. Many on social media suggested the couple, who got married in April 2023, were trying to recreate Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s incredible “twerking” video shot moments before the Duchess of Sussex gave birth in hospital.

Within minutes of Jamie uploading his footage, purportedly shot inside Buckingham Palace, the official Instagram account “theroyalfamily” replied: “We see you” with a pair of eyes and a wink emojis. The King’s Trust also 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.

Responding to theroyalfamily’s post, one Jamie fan wrote: “best response ever! This really made me laugh.” Another said: “Brilliant,” tagging the account to their reply.

However, some Instagram users aimed fire at Jamie, who now hosts a show on BBC Radio One, calling the dig “disrespectful”. The 36-year-old star, who was in Made in Chelsea from 2011 to 2020, is seen dancing alongside Sophie in what appears to be Buckingham Palace. His moves appear to replicate those briefly seen by Prince Harry in Meghan’s clip, which became public earlier this month.

The words “The Royal Baby has arrived” are written overlay to the clip, liked by more than 50,000 people on Instagram. Yet one viewer on there replied: “Disrespectful,” to which she got seven likes. Another Instagram user shared: “Diabolical behaviour.” A third critic posted: “Quite disappointing. I like you guys normally.”

Other celebs posted replies too. Kerry Villers, who is a social media influencer, said: “I feel like you can see Jamie’s excitement to become a dad in his face and it’s pure joy.” TV presenter and former member of The Saturdays, Rochelle Humes, shared her own experience trying to sneak a photo in Buckingham Palace. The mum of three wrote: “The speed that this happened is genuinely impressive. I just about got mine in focus for a sneaky pic.”

Sophie, who was in Made in Chelsea from 2017 to 2022, smiles playfully in the clip as she dances alongside her husband. The pair, stood on the red-carpeted gliding staircase, are flanked by portraits of members of the royal family in the video. Royal aides seemingly found the funny side, although it would have breached protocol.

Proof that no offence was taken, a palace aide told the Daily 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.”

Jamie had attended a reception at Buckingham Palace yesterday alongside the likes of George and Amal Clooney to highlight The King’s Trust’s annual awards for some of the charity’s greatest success stories.
