Jamie Laing and his wife Sophie Habboo, who wed in April 2023, have been keeping up with the news about Sophie’s pregnancy since the couple met.
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.
One Jamie fan wrote, “Best response ever! ” in response to theroyalfamily’s post. I was really entertained by this. Another tagged their response with “Brilliant,” adding the word “Brilliant.”

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 celebrities also responded. “I feel like you can see Jamie’s excitement about becoming a father in his face and how happy he is,” said Kerry Villers, a social media influencer. Rochelle Humes, a former member of The Saturdays and a TV presenter, described her own hiccup of sneaking a photo in Buckingham Palace. The speed with which this occurred was truly impressive, the mother of three wrote. For a sneaky photo, I almost got mine in focus.
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.”
