'Best response ever': Royal Family's very surprising comment on viral parody of Meghan and Harry's cringey 'Baby Momma' dance video
The Royal Family's official Instagram account has stunned followers by leaving a tongue-in-cheek comment on a video parodying Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's viral "Baby Momma" dance. British reality stars Jamie Laing, 36, and his pregnant wife Sophie Habboo, 30, filmed themselves recreating the now-infamous clip on the Grand Staircase of Buckingham Palace during an event hosted by King Charles III. The couple, who rose to fame on Made in Chelsea and now cohost a BBC Radio 1 show, were attending a reception on Wednesday afternoon to celebrate winners of the King's Trust Awards, an event recognising young people who have overcome adversity and made positive contributions to their communities. Also in attendance were high-profile ambassadors of the King's charity, including George and Amal Clooney, Dame Joanna Lumley, Charlotte Tilbury, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. "They said we couldn't film in Buckingham Palace," the father-to-be cheekily captioned the video on Instagram. But to the surprise of his 1.6 million followers, and likely the couple themselves, the Royal Family's official Instagram account commented: "We see you" with an open eyes and wink face emoji. The King's Trust account also chimed in, writing: "All of our attendees are very well behaved." The unexpected exchange quickly attracted thousands of likes and widespread praise from royal watchers, with many calling it "the best response ever". "@theroyalfamily best response ever! This really made me laugh," one user wrote, while another added: "This is brilliant!" A third chimed in: "@theroyalfamily in a world at times worrying and serious, this comment was so needed." British broadcaster Fearne Cotton, who also attended the palace reception, joined in on the banter, writing: "You also had your pap camera out with a flash. Think of what the flash has done to those priceless paintings." Even Formula One star Lando Norris reacted to the video, dropping a laughing emoji in the comments. While the Royal Family's social media account is run by staffers, it's understood that such comments are unlikely to be posted without senior approval. It comes as Prince Harry, 40, recently admitted his father "won't speak" to him, as tensions between the Sussexes and the monarchy continue to simmer. Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and now live in Montecito, California, with their two children, Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four. Earlier this month, Meghan posted a throwback clip celebrating Lilibet's birthday, showing her and Harry dancing in hospital to the "Baby Momma Dance Song" ahead of her giving birth. Meghan spoke about the now-viral moment during a recent interview on entrepreneur Emma Grede's Aspire podcast. "You have to be authentic," Meghan told Grede. "Did you see my Baby Momma dance?" Later in the interview, she reflected on how public perception of her has shifted over time. Grede asked: "If you could rewrite your public narrative from scratch, is there anything that you would do differently?" Meghan replied without hesitation: "Yes, I would ask people to tell the truth."

Meghan Markle used the moment to highlight the importance of authenticity, especially in an era of online judgment and scrutiny. 'That wasn't yesterday. That was four years ago,' she said. 'So it's also a really great reminder that, with all the noise or whatever people do, there's still a whole life. A real, authentic, fun life that's happening behind the scenes.'

Meghan Markle 'terrified' and scared for future as regretful Harry makes major decision over UK return
Meghan Markle is 'scared' to return to the UK and Harry is a 'huge target' Trooping the Colour 2025 marked another significant blow to relations within the Royal Family as Prince Harry steered clear. The Duke of Sussex was not in attendance at last weekend's celebration of the King's official birthday. Queen Camilla joined Charles, as well as Prince William, Kate Middleton and their children George,11, Charlotte,10, and seven year old Louis. Harry was last in the UK in May, where he suffered defeat at the High Court over his ongoing battle to have security measures reinstated for him and his family when they visit from the US. The Duke of Sussex then gave an interview, where he revealed he hoped to reunite with his father but he couldn't bring his family to the UK until wife Meghan Markle and kids Archie, two, and Lilibet, four, were guaranteed to be 'safe'. Now a royal expert claims it's not likely the youngsters will ever build up a close relationship with their cousins, or spend much time in the UK, because of Harry and Meghan's worries, writes the Mirror. Former royal editor Duncan Larcombe said: 'Meghan understandably feels scared about coming to the UK with the children. 'The threats are real and genuine. The threat is from lunatics, radical protesters that might want to make a name for themselves by jumping in front of them. Then of course you have the worst type, the terrorist threat. And there's no doubt Harry – and his family, as a result – is a huge target.' Former actress Meghan recently embarked on a change of direction in her career, with her recent eight-part Netflix show With Love, Meghan topping charts across the globe. Earlier today, she took to social media to share her delight as her lifestyle brand As Ever products once again sold out in minutes following an announcement of a restock earlier this week. She's also been pictured in recent months enjoying a Beyonce gig and shared intimate family moments from a holiday to Disneyland in a reel of posts to Instagram. Earlier this month she and Harry hit the headlines once again as they shared their viral Baby Momma dance clip which was filmed when she went into labour with Lilibet. But despite Meghan feeling 'stronger' than ever and sharing fun parts of her life with fans, she's still hugely worried about the safety of her nearest and dearest. A source told the Mirror: 'In some ways she's feeling stronger and she wants to share that. 'But she's still terrified of putting her kids at risk by coming back to the UK – any parent would panic if they were in Meghan's shoes. 'So even though Harry is really feeling the absence of his dad, especially after Trooping the Colour and Father's Day, the security stuff will probably always be an issue. 'He knows that things could've been so different if things had gone another way, but it's been five years since they left the UK and the chances of them coming back, even for a visit, seem slim to none. It's heartbreaking.' In May, Harry gave a controversial interview with the BBC in which he said he 'would love reconciliation' with his family. Duncan Larcombe reckons that the duke is probably 'full of regrets' now about being so candid. He added: 'Harry is a sensitive soul and always wore his heart on his sleeve, so whether he'd admit it publicly or not, I'm sure he's full of regrets and wishes he'd done things differently. 'With Trooping the Colour and Father's Day falling on the same weekend, it was bound to make him look back at the happy relationships he once had with his brother and dad, and I'm sure he'd love to be able to rebuild those.' Duncan also states that Princess Diana's death is something that is an ever-present thought for Meghan and Harry, as a 'contributing factor' to her horror crash in Paris in 1997 was the lack of official protection from the Metropolitan Police. The expert explains that official royal security is armed and round the clock, provided by top Met Police officers as well as MI5, who 'surround them in a ring'. He added: 'Without the official support and security, Harry and Meghan are left with two or three bodyguards who are pretty blind to what the potential threats are.'

Meghan 'terrified' as Harry's decision over UK return 'sealed'
Threats from 'lunatics' and 'terrorists' will stop Harry and Meghan coming back to the UK, an expert says, but the Duke would have missed his dad on Father's Day The growing distance between Prince Harry and the royal family was highlighted once again at the King's recent birthday celebrations, where the Duke of Sussex was notably absent. At Trooping the Colour – which marks the monarch's official birthday – King Charles celebrated alongside his close family, including wife Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children, George, Charlotte and Louis. Sadly, Harry and his family were nowhere to be seen. Following his High Court defeat in May, the Duke of Sussex, 40, revealed that he was hopeful of a reconciliation with his father, but said that wouldn't be possible until he could keep his wife and children 'safe' while in the UK. Now, a royal expert says the chances of Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, becoming regular visitors to the UK and growing close to their cousins is looking increasingly unlikely because of Harry and his wife Meghan Markle 's very valid fears. 'Meghan understandably feels scared about coming to the UK with the children,' says former royal editor Duncan Larcombe. 'The threats are real and genuine. The threat is from lunatics, radical protesters that might want to make a name for themselves by jumping in front of them. Then of course you have the worst type, the terrorist threat. And there's no doubt Harry – and his family, as a result – is a huge target.' While Meghan, 43, appears to be feeling more comfortable sharing her children with the world – with her viral Baby Momma dance video and a Disneyland holiday album posted to her socials – the idea of her returning to the UK with them is another matter. A source has told the Mirror that while the mum-of-two is feeling more empowered today, it doesn't alter her safety worries. 'In some ways she's feeling stronger and she wants to share that,' our insider said. 'But she's still terrified of putting her kids at risk by coming back to the UK – any parent would panic if they were in Meghan's shoes. 'So even though Harry is really feeling the absence of his dad, especially after Trooping the Colour and Father's Day, the security stuff will probably always be an issue. 'He knows that things could've been so different if things had gone another way, but it's been five years since they left the UK and the chances of them coming back, even for a visit, seem slim to none. It's heartbreaking.' During his controversial interview with the BBC in May, Harry revealed he 'would love reconciliation' with his family. And our expert believes it's highly likely the Prince now wishes recent events had taken a different course. 'Harry is a sensitive soul and always wore his heart on his sleeve, so whether he'd admit it publicly or not, I'm sure he's full of regrets and wishes he'd done things differently,' says Duncan. With Trooping the Colour and Father's Day falling on the same weekend, it was bound to make him look back at the happy relationships he once had with his brother and dad, and I'm sure he'd love to be able to rebuild those.' Last month, Harry lost his bid to overturn the decision to deny him and his family state-funded, high level security provided for senior royals while in the UK. As a result, he said he 'couldn't see a world' in which he would be able to bring Meghan and the children back to his homeland. Duncan says the death of Harry's mother, Princess Diana, likely weighs heavily on the couple when it comes to their protection, as the absence of official Metropolitan Police protection was a 'contributing factor' in the accident that took her life. But he stresses that whether the couple are 'liked' or not is irrelevant to their safety. The key distinction, he says, is the difference between official royal security and private protection, which could mean the difference between life and death. Official royal security gives royals round-the-clock, armed protection from top Met Police officers and allows MI5 to 'surround them in a ring' of top-level intelligence. Given Meghan's understandable need to protect her children, Duncan suspects it would be very difficult for the family to feel safe without those measures in place. 'At big royal events, the security you actually see is the tip of the iceberg. There are a lot of undercover officers and agents working, too,' he says. 'Without the official support and security, Harry and Meghan are left with two or three bodyguards who are pretty blind to what the potential threats are.'

‘Desperate' reason Prince Harry is OK with Meghan splashing Lilibet and Archie on social media
In the past they've ferociously protected their children's privacy by keeping them out of the public eye, but there's been a sudden and significant change in Prince Harry and Meghan's approach recently and one insider says they know why. The Duchess of Sussex has ramped up Lilibet, 4, and big brother Archie's, 6, appearances on her Instagram page, freely posting happy family snaps on social media. And while cynical observers note that it coincides with her pushing her business interests in her As Ever brand in the same forum, an insider has offered another, sadder motive. 'Harry is completely heartbroken,' an insider close to the family has told Daily Mail . 'His dad refuses to see him or the kids — not even on Zoom... It's a last resort. 'He's desperately hoping the King might see a picture of Archie or Lilibet and realise what he's missing. 'He's tried everything - calls, letters... But nothing's worked. This is his way of saying, 'Look at what you're missing'.' Meghan has used a number of recent milestones to share intimate, previously unseen photos and videos of the Montecito-based royals' family life. To celebrate Lilibet's birthday, Meghan posted several family cherished shots, including a throwback video of herself twerking to the song Baby Momma in a bid to bring on labour while pregnant with the princess, while another post featured a black and white snap of her cuddling Lili. In one clip for Father's Day, Harry was seen dancing joyfully in the kitchen with toddler Archie, while another captured him sharing laughs during story time with his son. And in another particularly tender moment, both children were seen showering their dad with kisses while playing on a backyard swing. During a recent appearance on Emma Gredge's Aspire podcast, Meghan explained her motivation for sharing more with her followers. 'Did you see my 'Baby Momma' dance? That was four years ago... I'm just grateful that now, being back on social... I can share it on my own terms.' Prince Harry remains publicly estranged from senior members of the royal family including King Charles and Prince William but has expressed a desire to reconcile. In a May interview he told the BBC, 'There have been so many disagreements between me and some of my family… Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things but… there's no point in continuing to fight anymore.' 'Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has,' he added. 'He won't speak to me because of this security stuff. It would be nice to reconcile.'
