The Royal Family Reacted to a Copy of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Viral Dance
*TV personality Jamie Laing and pregnant wife Sophie Habboo sparked laughter across social media with their Buckingham Palace parody of Meghan Markle’s viral “Baby Mama Dance.” The cheeky recreation, filmed on the palace’s grand staircase, mimicked Harry and Meghan’s labor-inducing moves to the same song.
In a surprising twist, the Royal Family’s official Instagram account playfully acknowledged the video, commenting: “We see you 👀😉.” The lighthearted response garnered over 10,000 likes, with fans delighted by the palace’s unexpected engagement.
The original clip, shared by Meghan on June 4, showed her and Harry dancing in a hospital room before Lilibet’s birth four years prior. Set to Starrkeisha’s track, the candid moment offered a rare glimpse into the Sussexes’ private joy.
Meghan recently reflected on the video’s viral success during an appearance on “Aspire with Emma Grede,” calling it an example of authenticity. Host Grede praised the unfiltered moment, noting it revealed a side of Meghan rarely seen publicly.
The duchess emphasized her intentional approach to social media since returning to Instagram in January. Unlike her pre-royal account, she now focuses on sharing genuine, unpolished moments. “I want it to feel like I still have my hands on it,” she explained.
While Laing and Habboo’s parody celebrated Meghan’s original with royal-approved humor, the Sussexes’ clip continues resonating as a symbol of joyful authenticity. Both videos highlight how carefully curated royal images are giving way to more relatable moments.
As Meghan reclaims her social media voice, and the palace shows its playful side, these interconnected moments suggest evolving attitudes toward royal representation in the digital age – where even Buckingham Palace can appreciate a well-timed meme.
