The couple were later greeted by the Monarch, 76, when they attended the high-profile event last month. Despite their eyebrow raising moves, photographs shared from the glitzy occasion showed Charles chucking with them. Speaking on their podcast, NearlyParents, Jamie, 36, explained: "When you meet the King, you slightly bow your head, or you curtsy, then you hold your hand out and call him Sir afterwards. "Do not raise your hand and shake his hand until he's raised his hand towards you. "He kept looking towards Sophie, 30, and as soon as he went towards Sophie, Sophie put her hand up, like this... and then he turned away and she put it back down again. "And she did this about three or four times, and then what happened was he looked at her again, because he's just being polite. You're meant to wait until he puts his hand up!" Sophie confessed she was embarrassed by the mishap and added: "I thought I was missing my opportunity and I didn't listen to that, because they were talking and it's just noise in my ear. "So I thought "he's looking at me, is this my moment, I'm meant to shake and curtsy?" And I was buckling." Jamie told how his wife kept her hand held out waiting for Charles as he made his way down the row of guests. Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo reveal they're stopping their hit podcast - and devastated fans think they've worked out why He continued: "And then what happened was, the last time, he turned towards Sophie, Sophie put out her hand. She didn't withdraw, she just held it there. "She just held it there and didn't move it until he came and shook her hand. Just holding it like that!" This comes after their Buckingham Palace dance divided fans' opinion. Jamie posted the video to his 1.6 million Instagram followers, writing: 'They said we couldn't film in Buckingham Palace." 8 King Charles chuckled when he greeted the former Made In Chelsea stars Credit: Instagram 8 Meghan Markle posted the video, which was recorded in 2021 before she welcomed Lilibet Credit: Instagram 8 Harry and Meghan dance to Starrkeisha's Baby Mama Credit: Instagram Sophie, wearing a pastel yellow halter-neck dress, showed off her growing baby bump as Laing pointed to it. The pair danced to Starrkeisha's Baby Mama, the same track used in Meghan and Harry's original clip. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recorded their version in 2021, shortly before Meghan gave birth to Princess Lilibet. She posted it last month to mark their daughter's fourth birthday. Despite sparking some controversy, palace aides appeared to see the funny side of Jamie and Sophie's stunt. The Royal Family's official Instagram account commented: 'We see you,' adding a pair of eye and wink emojis. The King's Trust, which hosted the reception, also responded. 'All of our attendees are very well behaved,' it joked, with a laughing emoji. But Fearne Cotton, who also attended the event, called Jamie in the comments, writing: 'You also had your pap camera out with a flash. Think of what the flash has done to those priceless paintings. 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.' 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 reception honoured this year's award winners - young people who have turned their lives around with help from the charity. NEW CHAPTER By Conor O'Brien DISNEY+ has officially confirmed reality shows featuring Jamie Laing and wife Sophie - as well as the Rooney family. Both of the new unscripted original shows follow stars at new stages of their lives. One features former Made In Chelsea cast members Jamie, 36, and Sophie, 30, - under the working title "Jamie and Sophie: Raising Chelsea." This new programme features the couple tackling their upcoming parenthood. Earlier this month, it was revealed Jamie and Sophie are expecting their first child. Their new show will highlight the pregnancy, busy professional lives, first family home, support from loved ones and their hit podcast, NearlyParents. Discussing the project, Jamie and Sophie said: 'For nearly a decade, we've brought audiences along the highs and lows of our personal and professional lives through TV, radio, social media and our podcasts. "It's such an honour to now partner with the incredible teams at Disney+ and Dorothy St Pictures to bring our next chapter to viewers across the globe. "Navigating our lives with a baby on the way has opened up a whole new stage of our relationship – we can't wait to give you a front row seat!' Also announced is an observational docu-series featuring Coleen and Wayne Rooney - under working title "The Rooneys". In particular, the 10-part programme will follow Coleen's journey with entrepreneurship while Wayne trades training for the school run. Although the couple are no strangers to public interest in their lives, this new show will include highs and lows of family life - to quality time on holiday. Earlier this year, it was revealed Coleen had landed a £10million deal with Disney+ for a reality show - following a bidding war. An insider told the Mail: "It has taken months of bidding against one another. "The money has gone up and up and has got to £10 million, which is way higher than was first imagined, but Coleen is very much in demand. "Both streamers were aware of the viewing public's appetite for the inside track on footballers' home lives." Filming is underway for both shows - with a new iteration of dating series Blind Date also announced alongside them. 8 The Royal Family's official Instagram account commented: "We see you,' adding a pair of eye and wink emojis Credit: Nearly Parents Podcast

King Charles' true feelings about Meghan laid bare with 'strange' nickname
The royal family are known for giving each other unique nicknames, and it seems King Charles' eccentric moniker for Meghan Markle showcased how he really felt about his daughter-in-law Members of the royal family have long used unusual nicknames to refer to each other by, with each name having a sweet back story. And while many of the senior working royals have unique names they are referred to as behind closed doors, there is one bizarre nickname that has long caught the attention of eagle-eyed royal fans. While Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped away from the royal family five years ago, there was a time that Meghan was seemingly quite close with her in-laws, especially her father-in-law, King Charles. When Meghan was first introduced to the King, he was reportedly blown away by her confidence. The relationship between Meghan and Charles grew over the years, with Charles even agreeing to walk Meghan down the aisle on her wedding day in 2018, after her own father was unable to attend the wedding in Windsor. Before the big day, a royal insider came forward to share the unique name that Charles had for Meghan, and revealed the strange but poignant meaning behind it. In royal expert Katie Nicholl's book The New Royals, she explains that Charles had long admired Meghan's strength of character and gave her a fitting nickname to reflect this, as Nicholl wrote: "Charles reportedly nicknamed his future daughter-in-law 'Tungsten' because of her toughness and resilience." This is not the first time that Charles' initial nickname for Meghan has been reported, as in June 2018, the Daily Mail wrote that Charles called Meghan 'Tungsten', a type of metal because she is "tough and unbending". A source told the Mail on Sunday at the time: "Prince Charles admires Meghan for her strength and the backbone she gives Harry, who needs a tungsten-type figure in his life as he can be a bit of a softy. It's become a term of endearment." Despite Harry and Meghan's wedding being a grand affair attended by the entire royal family, not everyone was convinced of their union, as explosive new claims from a royal expert came to light. According to royal authror Sally Bedell Smith, one of Queen Elizabeth 's cousins and confidants made a series of comments about the validity of the royal couple's relationship in the lead up to their high-profile nuptials, claiming that Meghan had 'engineered' their union. Bedell Smith wrote that Lady Elizabeth Anson said just days before the nuptials: "We hope but don't quite think she is in love. We think she engineered it all," adding: "It's worrying that so many people are questioning whether Meghan is right for Harry.' 'The problem, bless his heart, is that Harry is neither bright nor strong, and she is both. Meghan is clearly brighter than Harry, but she has to be careful not to overshadow him." According to Bedell Smith, Lady Anson said that Meghan was "full of charm" as well as "intelligent and thoughtful" when she and Harry first became engaged in 2017, but as the wedding drew closer, the relationship between the late Queen and the Sussexes soured. Bedell Smith said Lady Anson told her that the former monarch was left 'dismayed' about some of the arrangements being made for the wedding and had become "very worried" about her 'weak' and 'besotted' grandson. She claims that the former monarch had been left shocked that Harry had asked the Archbishop of Canterbury to perform the ceremony without asking the Dean of Windsor first, and that the now Duke of Sussex thought his grandmother could just "do what she wants". According to Bedell Smith, Lady Anson said that due to this, Harry had "blown" his relationship with his grandmother. She writes that Lady Anson told her several months before the wedding: "She [the Queen] said she was really upset. I was shocked when the Queen told me this, how she was so saddened.' However, the author later claims that several weeks closer to the nuptials, Lady Anson told her that Harry and his grandmother had "patched things up".

New mum Poppy Delevingne makes glam appearance at Wimbledon two weeks after giving birth to her first child
Poppy Delevingne looked super glam as she made an appearance at Wimbledon on Sunday - just two weeks after giving birth to her baby girl. The socialite and sister of Cara Delevingne, 39, shared the happy news to Instagram on Friday. Poppy welcomed Kaia with her billionaire businessman partner Archie Keswick. Uploading a black and white snap clutching her baby girl's hand, Poppy penned: '20.05.25 The stars aligned, & then there was you.' Just two days after the announcement, Poppy was seen in the crowd at the tennis tournament alongside the likes of Andrew Garfield. The new mum looked stunning as she watched from the sidelines, wearing Ralph Lauren. Poppy paired a fitted shirt and flared baggy linen trousers with strappy heeled sandals. She added a pair of sunglasses to accessorise, with a big smile on her face as she eagerly watched the match. Poppy first discovered she was pregnant during London Fashion Week when, during a fitting for a Burberry show, she noticed her clothes were tighter than usual. Sensing something was different, Poppy took a pregnancy test shortly after and then learned she was expecting a daughter. Speaking to ELLE UK in January, she said: 'Obviously, I would have been fine with either, and when I was younger, I always thought when I get pregnant, I wouldn't find out, but the second we got told we could find out, we did. I'm so excited. I come from all girls, we're very girl-heavy. Girls are great.' Poppy's sisters, model Cara, 32, and socialite Chloe, 39, were both delighted when she told them the news. She said: 'We were all in New York, with each other and with the bump, and there was a lot of talking to the bump, stroking the bump. They're just elated.' She added a pair of sunglasses to accessorise, with a big smile on her face as she eagerly watched the match Poppy and Archie kept the news of her pregnancy to themselves for a while and only told friends and family around the four-month mark. The model previously admitted she was 'really nervous' about her pregnancy and wanted to 'protect' it for a while. She explained: 'It just feels like such an extraordinary privilege to be able to do this, to be able to have a baby at this age and at this time, and when it happened, I couldn't really believe it.' Poppy has long wanted to start a family of her own, but admitted in recent years she thought it might not happen for her and had 'made peace with it'. Poppy and Archie went public with their romance in July 2024, when they attended the BST Hyde Park festival together.
