BUCKINGHAM Palace has cheekily responded to a clip posted by Jamie Laing appearing to mock Harry and Meghan’s baby dance video.
The former Made In Chelsea star filmed himself and his pregnant wife Sophie Haboo as they recreated The Sussexes’ infamous “Baby Mama” dance.

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.
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.
