A caption on the video reads: 'They said we couldn't film in Buckingham Palace."
The footage, posted to Jamie's 1.6million followers on Instagram, shows the couple dancing at the royal residence, just metres from portraits of senior royals.
Responding to the pair breaking the rules on filming in the palace, the Royal Family clearly saw the funny side.
Its official Instagram account commented: 'We see you,' adding a pair of eye and wink emojis.
The pair danced to Starrkeisha's Baby Mama, the same track used in Meghan and Harry's cringey original clip.
While Jamie and Sophie's video could have sparked a royal backlash, palace aides appeared to see the funny side.
Sophie, wearing a pastel yellow halter-neck dress, shows off her growing baby bump as Laing points to it.
The King's Trust, which hosted the reception, also responded. 'All of our attendees are very well behaved,' it joked, with a laughing emoji.
Fans were quick to react - with one joking: 'When you get to do it at the Palace but Harry and Meghan couldn't lol."
Another added: 'In a world at times worrying and serious, this comment was so needed.'
Meghan, 43, posted the cringey hospital dance footage to celebrate daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday earlier this month.
It showed the former actress, heavily pregnant with their second child, making rowing movements and shimmying her shoulders beside a bed.
Meghan's twerking video was so cringey it was like parody, but it did exactly what she wanted
Prince Harry also shuffles across in a hoodie to the strains of then-viral pregnancy hit The Baby Momma Dance.
Meghan shared the 80-second clip with her three million followers on Instagram after earlier posting photos of her daughter.
Royal expert Ingrid Seward slammed Meghan for being a hypocrite as the couple regularly whine about a lack of privacy.
She told The Sun: 'They can do what they like but why put it online?
"Does Meghan have no boundaries? I think it's vulgar, unnecessary, attention-seeking."
The King's Trust, set up by King Charles in 1976, supports disadvantaged young people.
It has helped more than a million into work, education or training.
Jamie and Sophie were just two of several high-profile guests at the palace event, alongside George and Amal Clooney.
The reality TV stars and podcast hosts revealed the pregnancy on social media earlier this month.
The happy news came in the same week they became the first married couple to co-host on BBC Radio One.
They shared a sweet video of Sophie, 30, in hospital having a baby scan.

Made In Chelsea, Friendship Feuds And A Near-Death Experience - Sam Vanderpump Opens Up
He may enjoy stirring up the drama on Made In Chelsea, but off-screen, Sam Vanderpump is a lot more serious. The 28-year-old entrepreneur is the founder of currency exchange brokerage Vanderpump FX and is managing director of finance app Dapio. Sam – who's the nephew of US reality TV star Lisa Vanderpump – is engaged to Alice Yaxley, whom he's been dating since July 2024. He proposed to the 23-year-old model, following his near-death experience with sepsis last year. This week, he sat down with Grazia to talk all things weddings, Made in Chelsea and life as a Vanderpump... It's an exciting time for you right now, with Made In Chelsea, wedding planning… I feel like my life went from being very quiet to everything coming full speed all at once. A lot of stuff is going on with Made In Chelsea, the wedding and my business. I'm also planning on starting a podcast, so everything's suddenly become very busy. Were you inspired to propose because of how supportive she had been throughout your sepsis ordeal? From the moment I met Alice, I knew she was the girl I was going to marry. I've never felt like that before about anyone. She's the female version of me – she's perfect in every single way. The only thing my sepsis episode did was speed it up because it made me realise how quick things can be taken away from you and I didn't want to waste time. All I want is to have a fantastic relationship with my family, get married and have children. Are you planning a big wedding? At the moment, we're thinking around 160-170 close friends and family. It will be in 2027. Who will you invite from Made In Chelsea? Ooh, that list changes daily. [Laughs] Some days it's the whole cast and others, it's limited to just Alice! Will Reza be your best man? No. Reza and I are very, very close – we've known each other for ten years plus – but the roles of best man and groomsmen will go to my brother and people I've known for 25 plus years. Would your aunt Lisa appear on Made In Chelsea? I would love her to come on. It'd be great for people to see the massive role she plays in my life. She's that father figure role for me – she tells me what to do, how to say it and make sure I don't make any mistakes. The biggest thing she said to me at my dad's funeral was, 'Don't f*** it up'. Only time will tell, but there are currently no plans for her to appear. Sam Vanderpump with his elder brother Jack and their aunt Lisa ©How are things going with Tristan [Phipps]? Any plans to make amends? I'd rather stick pins in my eyes. What are your plans for Made In Chelsea? At the moment, I enjoy doing Made In Chelsea. I love it, it's enjoyable and as long as it remains like that and my goals align with the show, I'll continue to do it. But who knows what the future holds. There are endless possibilities. Only time will tell. Sam is an ambassador for The UK Sepsis Trust. See for more Shereen Low is a senior news and entertainment writer for Grazia UK, who has covered some of the biggest showbiz news from the past decade.

Will AI eat the advertising industry?
Mark Zuckerberg recently shook the advertising world with Meta's plans to allow brands to use AI to generate targeted advertisements on Facebook and Instagram. Importantly, no ad agency would be involved in the process. So is the writing on the wall for the traditional advertising industry? Will the next viral video campaign or earworm jingle be the brainchild of a computer, rather than the fabled advertising creatives celebrated in the TV show Mad Men? And if so, what lessons are there for other creative industries? Hosts: Ethan Wu and Mike Bird. Guests: Sir Martin Sorrell, founder of WPP and S4Capital; Brian Wieser, CEO of Madison and Wall; and The Economist's media editor Tom Wainwright.

Lorraine Kelly's secret about Buckingham Palace visit
The Gorbals TV presenter made the admission during a discussion about a viral video filmed inside the palace by reality TV couple Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo. Their clip, which appeared to parody Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's recent Baby Mama dance video, drew criticism for violating the palace's strict no-filming policy. While describing the video as 'a bit naughty', the morning TV presenter confessed that she too had once bent the rules during her own royal visit.

I personally feel that, as a very aggrieved news broadcaster, if I did that, I'd definitely be off to the tower. "They've got really strict rules about filing in Buckingham Palace, and then if you're an influencer, you can get away with it! You can get away with anything. I hear that you got away with it, Lorraine?" To which Lorraine jokingly responded: "Well, I may or may not have taken a sneaky photograph. I'll tell you for why, that painting reminded me so much of Joe Lycett! I had to take a picture because that's Joe Lycett! He's had another life."

The morning star added: 'I know I'm not supposed to do that. 'I'll get into trouble. I shan't ever do it again.' One of her guests asked whether she had been reprimanded for the photo, to which Lorraine replied: 'No, I don't think they knew… well, they do now, so I'm in trouble!' It turns out this wasn't Lorraine's only brush with royal protocol — she once posed with TV editor Victoria Kennedy in the grand hallway of the palace and shared the photo on Instagram.
