The clip shows them twerking and laughing at the royal residence, just metres from portraits of senior royals.
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.

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."

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.

Tim Tebow and Miss Universe wife welcome first child together... and reveal heartwarming story behind baby's name
Tim Tebow and his Miss Universe wife have welcomed their first child together. The 37-year-old college football icon and his model wife Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters announced the news with an emotional post on Instagram on Monday. The couple shared a series of black-and-white photos of themselves in the hospital alongside their new daughter. The caption read: 'Our daughter is here! We couldn't be more grateful for the blessing and gift of this new little life. 'We're so grateful to the whole medical team that assisted us in the best way possible during my labor and delivery. From our doctor to our nurses and all the hospital staff — we are so grateful and thankful for you. 'To my sweet friend @hannahjanoe thank you for capturing one of the most special moments of our lives so perfectly. 'Thank you to everyone who's been praying with us over her arrival. We are so incredibly thankful for all of the love and support we've felt. 'We can't wait to share her name with you soon'. However, it didn't take long for that announcement. Just hours later, the couple returned to Instagram to share a joint post which revealed their daughter's name. The post read: 'Meet our daughter, Daphne Reign Tebow. 'Daphne is a name that's been close to my heart since I was a little girl. I never got to meet my mom's mother, but her sister, Daphne, stepped in as a grandma figure to me. 'And Reign… it's a name that holds so much meaning. But more than anything, her name reminds us that when you're adopted into God's family, you become a child of the King. You were made to rule and reign—not in power, but in purpose, love, and identity. 'So here she is — our daughter. Our answered prayer. Daphne Reign Tebow — created in the image of God. Royalty as His princess. Our biggest prayer over her is to reign in God's purpose for her life'. The couple first announced the news that they were expecting a child back in January in a joint Instagram post. The birth of their daughter comes five years after the couple got married At the time, the couple wrote: 'We're over the moon to step into parenthood together'. Tebow and wife married in 2020 and are celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary on January 20. After brief stints with Denver Broncos and New York Jets, the Philippines-born star Tebow was only used in the offseason or as a practice squad member by New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars before being released by the latter in 2021. He has also tried his hand in professional baseball in recent years, signing a minor league baseball contract with the New York Mets in 2016 and playing outfield for the organization for five years.

Belly dancer influencer arrested for ‘using seduction techniques' and ‘exposing sensitive areas' in viral online vids
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BELLY dancer influencer has been arrested for "using seduction techniques" and "exposing sensitive areas" in her viral online videos. Online sensation Linda Martino, originally from Italy, was arrested for "immortality" in strict Egypt two weeks ago - and is to remain in prison for another fortnight. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 A belly dancer influencer has been arrested for 'using seduction techniques' Credit: Instagram 5 Online sensation Linda Martino, originally from Italy, was arrested for 'immortality' in strict Egypt Credit: Instagram 5 Linda has over two million followers on Instagram Credit: Instagram Linda - who has over two million followers on Instagram - moved to the North African country a few years ago and has built a successful career in belly dancing. Videos of her performing in popular clubs to various Egyptian hit songs have garnered millions of views across various social media platforms. But an investigation was reportedly triggered by one of her most shared videos, where Linda performs in a cabaret in a traditional belly dancing costume. The Cairo prosecutor's office accuses the young woman of having "used seduction techniques and provocative dances to incite vice". According to authorities' report, in some videos Linda "deliberately wore provocative clothing and performed dance movements with sexual allusions" They say she therefore disrespected "public decency" and the "values of family and society". Investigators also argued the artist "appeared in indecent clothing, deliberately exposing sensitive areas of her body, in clear violation of social values". She denies all the charges against her and claims she practices her profession in compliance with the law. The dancer said after being arrested: "I have the permits to practice my activity and all the videos circulating on social media are normal. "It is a permitted dance performance and does not contain anything that violates or goes against public morals." Irish TD Paul Murphy detained in Egypt and passport confiscated after bus stopped amid March to Gaza She added that the content she records is "only for entertainment purposes". Whilst belly dancing isn't prohibited in Egypt, videos on social media have to comply with the country's values. Egypt has increased its cruel crackdowns on artists and influences accused of offending public morals. Under Abdel Fattah Al Sisi's government, at least five belly dancers have been horrifically jailed on charges similar to those given to Linda. The Pharaoh nation sucks in a staggering 18 million tourists each year, and the industry props up around 10 per cent of the whole economy. But beyond the plush resorts of the popular Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada - Egypt is covering up its dark underbelly. The country's brutal police force deals in bribes and locks people up on bogus charges, including Brit holidaymakers. Egypt's picture-postcard image is being tested, with a former British ambassador to the country recently branding it a "police state". 5 Videos of her performing in popular clubs to various Egyptian hit songs have garnered millions of views Credit: Instagram

Denise Richards' husband 'files for divorce' as huge monthly spend laid bare
Former the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Denise Richards has been married to Aaron Phypers for almost seven years and he's said to have filed for divorce this week Former the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Aaron Phypers has reportedly filed for divorce from Denise Richards this week. He's been married to the actor for more than six year but they are now said to have separated recently. Denise, 54 - who played 'Bond girl' Christmas Jones in the James Bond film the World Is Not Enough (1999) - began her relationship with Aaron, 52, back in 2017. The couple married the following year, months after their engagement. Aaron's now said to have filed for divorce in Los Angeles today, just two months before their seventh wedding anniversary. It's been reported that he has cited "irreconcilable differences" and lists July 4 as the date of their separation. TMZ reports that according to court documents, obtained by the outlet, he's seeking spousal support from Denise and reportedly has no income of his own. It adds that Aaron estimates that his wife is grossing over $250,000 a month - around £185,000 - from OnlyFans, TV, brand deals and appearances. It's also reported that in the filing he estimates that they spend $105,000 - around £77,000 - a month on average and that Denise has been covering it. Their monthly spending is said to include $20K on clothes and $15K on eating out, which is around £15,000 and £11,000 respectively. According to People magazine, which is also said to have seen court documents, Aaron has asked to keep their assets and debts as separate property. The request is said to include his power tools, a motorcycle and a sports car. Denise, whose acting credits include films like Wild Things (1998), was once married to fellow actor Charlie Sheen. Aaron has himself been married previously, with him the ex-husband of former Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan. Through her first marriage, Denise shares her eldest children Sami, 21, and Lola, 20, with her ex-husband Charlie. She's also a parent to Eloise, 14, whom she adopted after her divorce from the former Two and a Half Men star. Denise paid tribute to Aaron last year for their sixth wedding anniversary. She wrote on Instagram at the time: "Happy Anniversary babes! You're my forever and I love you so much. Thank you for always having my back & being the most supportive husband." Aaron also marked the occasion in September last year. He wrote: "Happy anniversary to my sweetest love! Thanks for always being there my beautiful wife! Love you!" Denise and Aaron have appeared together on TV in recent years. It includes on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, with Denise having been part of the main cast between 2019 and 2020, though she's also made guest appearances. They have more recently featured alongside her children on Denise Richards & Her Wild Things. The reality TV show about the family launched on Bravo earlier this year and the first series, which had eight episodes, concluded in April.
