The Royal Family Weighs in on Celebrities’ Meghan Markle “Baby Mama” Spoof Video at the Palace
Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing danced at the King’s Trust Awards on June 26. The video was posted to the Royal Family’s Instagram account. The pair also attended the event with George and Amal Clooney. The King’s trust is a charity that supports young people in the UK and around the world. For more information on the event, visit kingstrustawards.org.uk or go to www.thekingstrust.org/award-award. For confidential support on suicide matters call the Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90 or visit a local Samaritans branch, see www.samaritans.org for details.
Habboo—who announced her pregnancy in a sweet ultrasound video earlier this month—wore a trendy butter yellow halter gown by Rodarte as she danced on a red-carpeted staircase in front of priceless paintings. Meanwhile, Laing busted moves in a blue suit, captioning the post, “They said we couldn’t film film in Buckingham Palace… @sophiehabboo @kingstrust.”
While plenty of fans weighed in on the video, the official Royal Family Instagram account was unexpectedly one of them—and it seems Jamie and Sophie’s breach in palace protocol was forgiven. “We see you 👀😉,” the Royal Family wrote.

Fans couldn’t help but jump in on the Royal Family’s comment, with one writing, “best response ever! 🤣 this really made me laugh 😂🤣.” Another commented, “in a world at times worrying and serious, this comment was so needed 👏,” while a third Instagram user wrote, “we are here for this type of replies 👏😍.”
The King’s Trust also didn’t seem to mind they broke palace rules, writing, “All of our attendees are very well behaved 👀😂.”
The couple was featured in the Royal Family’s Reel from the event, with both Jamie and Sophie sharing a laugh with The King. “The King’s Trust does amazing work supporting young entrepreneurs. Seeing firsthand how they’re helping the next generation build something meaningful was brilliant,” Laing—who founded candy business Candy Kittens—wrote on LinkedIn, adding, “(Also managed to make the King laugh, which I’m definitely putting on my CV. Sophie was mortified but I think he enjoyed it!!).”
Along with the dancing duo, celebrities like George and Amal Clooney and fellow Made in Chelsea alum Sam Thompson attended the palace reception. Laing and Habboo, who host the “Nearly Parents” podcast, also attended the King’s Trust Awards on June 26, with the event honoring young people who have had a positive impact on their communities.
