Buckingham Palace reply to Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo's 'Meghan Markle' clip
Made in Chelsea stars Jamie Laing and his wife Sophie Habboo have been updating fans on Sophie's pregnancy.
Buckingham Palace has been praised 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 shared on Instagram to mixed reaction yesterday. Many on social media suggested the couple, who got married in April 2023, were attempting 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, believed to have been 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 joined 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.
However, other 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 in the video 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 first 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, beside 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 over the years..

EXCLUSIVE Chloe Ferry says she is 'just having a good time' when asked about picture of her with married footballer Kieran Tripper at very boozy party as she admits she 'wants to stay single'
has finally addressed being linked to married Newcastle United ace Kieran Trippier. The Geordie Shore star, 29, was seen partying in Ibiza with ex-England international Kieran, 34, who confirmed his separation from wife Charlotte last week. And when speaking exclusively to MailOnline at Shein's VIP O Beach event, Chloe claimed they are 'just friends', and she was just 'having a good time' with him on the Balearic party island. She added that she isn't looking to date anyone following her split from on-off boyfriend Johnny Wilbo. 'No comment. I just want to be by myself, I don't want a man,' the TV personality explained. Chloe, who decided to move to Ibiza last month, continued: 'I came here because I was single and I thought I'm gonna live my best life, why not.' Chloe also revealed she is already considering moving back to the UK: 'I'm missing home. 'I've been here for three weeks now. I've just lived my best life. I turn 30 in two months so I just thought I'm gonna do what I need to do. 'I've had such a good time, but my body is like Chloe, no more drinking. I will tell my grandkids about this trip.' Kieran was spotted partying with Geordie Shore star Chloe and her pals including Love Island star Jess Harding at Ushuaïa Ibiza. In pictures obtained by The Sun, Trippier had his arm around newly single Chloe and the pair were said to be 'very tactile' with each other. The insider told the publication: 'Chloe and her friends were introduced to Kieran and his mates and they partied together. 'Kieran was very tactile and put his arm around her when they were together at the club. Chloe is newly single and she was just having some fun. 'They were together in the day and later on in the evening Chloe was with Kieran and their group of mates.' After the picture emerged, it was claimed that Trippier's estranged wife Charlotte is consulting lawyers about their marriage. Trippier married Charlotte in Cyprus in 2016 and the couple have three children together, Jacob, and two daughters, Esme and Isla. Sources say that they were keen to keep their split a secret so their children would not have to deal with any upset. However, it has been reported that Charlotte has a new property where she lives without her estranged husband. A source said: 'Charlotte has been open with her friends about getting a divorce. She has been seeking legal advice and is keen to move on with her life. 'Kieran is a devoted dad but as a partner it hasn't worked out as Charlotte had hoped.' The source added that Charlotte had moved house and divorce was 'the next logical step' but she wanted their relationship 'amicable'. The footballer said on Wednesday in a statement on Instagram stories: 'I feel I have no choice but to confirm publicly that myself and Charlotte separated over a year ago. 'Myself and Charlotte separated over a year ago. I have not commented previously as it is a private matter and we want to protect our children.' Rumours of their split began during last year's Euros in Germany when Charlotte unfollowed her husband on Instagram on the end of the England's final group game. She also did not jet to Germany like other WAGs. The sportsman announced his retirement from international football in August last year - with MailOnline revealing how he wanted to to focus on life outside the game following his marriage breakdown.
