Royal Family Mocks Meghan’s Delivery Room Dance Video

The Royal Family has broken official protocol by joining in the mockery of Meghan Markle’s “vulgar” viral delivery room tweaking video. Knewz.com can reveal an official Royal Family Instagram account commented on a video posted by British reality TV star Jamie Laing of him replicating the cringey routine during a visit to Buckingham Palace. But instead of ignoring the obvious ribbing of the Duchess of Sussex, the royal account wrote, “We see you,” along with a pair of eye and wink emojis in response to Laing’s claim that “they said we couldn’t film in Buckingham Palace.”

The footage, posted to Laing’s 1.6 million followers on Instagram, shows the star and wife Sophie Habboo dancing at the royal residence, just meters from portraits of senior royals. The pair danced to Starrkeisha’s “The Baby Momma Dance,” the same track used in Meghan and Harry‘s cringey original clip. Habboo, wearing a pastel yellow halter-neck dress, showed off her growing baby bump as Jamie pointed to it.

The King’s Trust, which hosted the reception, also responded: “All of our attendees are very well behaved,” they wrote along 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 wrote, “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 her second child, making rowing movements and shimmying her shoulders beside a bed. Harry also shuffles across in a hoodie to the strains of then-viral pregnancy hit “The Baby Momma Dance.” Markle 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. “They can do what they like but why put it online,” she said. “Does Meghan have no boundaries? I think it’s vulgar, unnecessary, attention-seeking. They make such a point about privacy and security, and then they put stuff out there. Meghan can’t resist putting it out there. I think it’s completely hypocritical for everything she stands for. It’s very embarrassing.”

Despite the nonstop backlash for Markle’s dance moves, it seems the former actress is “brushing” it all off. A source close to the Sussexes said, “Meghan is very pleased with the video. In the U.K. everyone’s reaction has been a bit prudish, but everywhere else, particularly in America and especially with young people, it has been a huge hit. … She and her team count it as a ‘win,’ which can only be a boost for sales. Her new products are marketed at Americans and not at the U.K. market.”
