Royal family’s surprising reaction to video mocking Meghan Markle’s now-viral dance

The royal family’s official social media account had a surprising reaction to a video mocking Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s viral delivery room dancing video.

The royal family’s official social media account had a surprising reaction to a video mocking Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s now-viral delivery room dancing video.

Earlier this month, the Duchess of Sussex posted a rare clip of her and Harry dancing in the hospital while awaiting the birth of their daughter Lilibet in 2021.

In the video, which has since been mercilessly mocked online, the couple “dropped it low” while dancing to Starrkeisha’s then-viral song, The Baby Momma Dance.

On Thursday, British reality TV stars Jamie Laing and his wife, Sophie Habboo, posted a video on social media in which the couple, who are currently expecting their first child, dance to the same song.

The clip, shared with the Made in Chelsea star’s 1.6 million Instagram followers, was filmed on the Grand Staircase at Buckingham Palace, and showed the duo bust out similar dance moves to the Sussexes.

The pair filmed the cheeky video on the gilded staircase, which leads up to the State Rooms, during a reception for King Charles’ charity the King’s Trust.

The pair filmed the cheeky video on the staircase during a reception for King Charles’ charity the King’s Trust.

“They said we couldn’t film in Buckingham Palace,” Laing, 36, captioned the Instagram clip.

And while the move was a clear breach of the royal protocol, which forbids visitors to take photos or videos inside the palace, it appears as though the royal family’s official social media account made light of the situation.

“We see you,” the Firm’s official account commented.

Meanwhile, the King’s Trust’s official account quipped, “All of our attendees are very well behaved.”

The royal family’s official social media account had a surprising reaction to the clip.

Earlier this month, Harry, 40, and the former Suits star, 43, were mercilessly mocked online immediately after sharing the clip on social media.

The video, which Markle uploaded in honour of Lilibet’s fourth birthday, showed the former actress cradle her baby bump while dancing with her husband.

“Four years ago today, this also happened,” Markle wrote on Instagram.

“Both of our children were a week past their due dates, so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn’t work — there was only one thing left to do!”

The Sussexes were mercilessly mocked for the dance video online.

Meghan has since spoken out and said she was being “authentic” in the 2021 video.

As the As Ever founder sings along to the tune to induce Lilibet’s birth, the Spare author shimmies across the delivery room before stepping out of view and returning with his hood drawn over his head.

The couple, who wed in 2018 and welcomed their son, Prince Archie, 6, in May 2019, continue grooving together to the song as it comes to an end.

While the clip immediately garnered mixed reactions from followers, it appears as though it didn’t break Markle’s spirit.
