Overview

• Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo filmed themselves recreating Meghan and Harry’s viral “Baby Mama” dance on Buckingham Palace’s Grand Staircase during a King’s Trust awards reception despite a no-filming rule.
• The Royal Family’s official Instagram account replied “We see you” with eye and wink emojis while the King’s Trust account joked that all attendees were “very well behaved.”
• A palace aide described the stunt as done “in a spirit of fun” and noted that it reflected Laing’s support for the charity awards even though it would not be encouraged for every guest.
• Social media reactions ranged from criticism over potential damage to palace artwork and calls of “disrespectful” to praise of the palace’s humorous response and of Laing’s paternal excitement.
• Laing and Habboo attended the star-studded reception alongside King Charles, George and Amal Clooney, and faced no formal reprimand for their unconventional palace footage.
