A recent social media interaction from the official royal family account has sparked discussion, appearing to give a nod to a video that poked fun at a controversial clip shared by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The incident occurred during a reception at Buckingham Palace celebrating The King’s Trust Awards. British television personalities Jamie Lang and Sophie Habboo filmed themselves on a palace staircase recreating the much-discussed “baby mama” dance originally performed by Meghan Markle in a hospital delivery room before the birth of her daughter.
Lang posted the short video with the caption: “They said we couldn’t film in Buckingham Palace.” What followed drew particular attention – the official royal family Instagram account commented on the post with a simple “We see you 👀😉”, a move interpreted by many observers as a subtle show of support for the lighthearted mockery.
The original video, which showed the Duchess dancing while heavily pregnant, had been shared publicly earlier this month to mark her daughter’s fourth birthday. The clip quickly drew mixed reactions online, with many social media users describing it as awkward.
In response to criticism of her post, the Duchess later explained on a podcast that she viewed the video as an authentic representation of her life behind the scenes, stating she was grateful to have a platform where she could share such moments on her own terms.
A friend of the Duchess subsequently came to her defense against online speculation about her pregnancy, calling such theories “sickening and cruel” and criticizing the transformation of personal moments into public controversy.
