Buckingham Palace insists it keeps calm and carries on, yet its official Instagram slipped into full-fangirl mode under a parody reel posted by reality star Jamie Laing. The clip, filmed inside Palace walls, copied Meghan Sussex’s now-famous “Baby Mama Dance.” Within hours the @theroyalfamily account typed a flirtatious “We see you 👀😉,” and the King’s Trust chimed in with its own emoji jab. Ordinary viewers laughed. Royal watchers asked why the monarchy suddenly breaks its studied silence only when someone mimics the daughter-in-law it claims to ignore.
Palace Posts Emoji Praise for White Parody
Courtiers lecture the public about unwritten protocols, yet they transform into emoji-wielding spectators the moment Meghan’s shadow appears online. The Palace rarely comments on anything outside the Court Circular, but staff raced to endorse Laing’s spoof, effectively rewarding a white couple for re-creating a moment the tabloids once called “classless.” That eagerness feels less like good humour and more like surveillance posing as banter. Each royal tap of the heart button reinforces the idea that officials still track Meghan’s every digital move, then rush to reframe it under their own brand.
Double Standard In Meghan Sussex’s Viral Joy vs Jamie Laing’s Parody
When Meghan Sussex posted her hospital-room dance on June 4 to celebrate Princess Lilibet’s birthday, the Daily Mail called it “cringe,” while other royal reporters like Ingrid Seward accused her of attention-seeking. Yet within 24 hours, the video surpassed 23 million views, and it now stands as her most-viewed reel with over 53 million views. That kind of engagement dwarfs typical Kensington Palace content. Despite having fewer than 4 million followers, Meghan’s posts have pulled in over 260 million views since she joined Instagram in January 2025, nearly double the output of William and Kate’s official accounts combined.
Now fast forward to June 25, when Made in Chelsea stars Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo filmed a parody of Meghan’s dance on the red-carpeted staircase inside Buckingham Palace. Royal reporter Rebecca English called it “tongue-in-cheek” and “rather funny,” while GB News flatly acknowledged what it was: a video mocking Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Instead of distancing themselves, the Royal Family’s own account responded with emojis, and the King’s Trust joked about how “well-behaved” everyone was. So King Charles can respond to a white influencer mocking his son’s mixed-race family, but he couldn’t respond when his son reached out about being denied security, or when he asked for reconciliation due to Charles’s cancer diagnosis.

Mind you, Charles is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, yet he seems determined to follow in the footsteps of Henry VIII—cruelly mistreating his wives, divorcing them, and treating their children abominably.
Token Optics Mask The Fixation
So the key takeaway is that when Meghan dances during labor, she’s a disgrace. But when a white celebrity couple copies her in a gold-trimmed palace, it’s cheeky fun. The royal press, British celebrities, and the monarchy all came together to validate a moment that directly parodies Meghan, and seemed proud to be in on the joke. The obsession isn’t even disguised. They watch, they mimic, they insert themselves into Meghan’s narrative again and again.
Embed from Getty ImagesKing Charles staged a photo op for the King’s Trust Awards. Black and Brown winners packed the front row beside A-listers George and Amal Clooney, creating an Instagram-ready tableau of diversity. The optics attempt to rewrite a recent past marked by racism allegations, after Meghan and Harry revealed that a senior royal expressed concern over how dark their baby’s skin might be. Though they ruled out Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, public speculation quickly centered on King Charles and Princess Kate.
Meghan Sussex thrives without palace backing, pulling bigger numbers than the Crown’s curated feeds and turning a four-year-old labour ward dance into global joy. The Windsor brand can borrow her moves, stack its group photos with diverse faces, and drop cheeky emojis, but the pattern is clear: they are still watching her. Until the royals practice the inclusivity they perform online and apologize for the way they treated the Sussexes, every wink looks less like fun and more like nasty fixation.

Hilarious! Two clumsy sycophants stumbling through what used to be the hallowed halls of Buckingham Palace? Say it ain’t so. These pitiful figures aren’t mocking Harry and Meghan; they’re trying, once again, to bask in their brilliance.
Every time this happens, I can’t help but feel a surge of joy. A descendant of slaves has become the sun around which the British Royal Family now orbits. They are utterly obsessed with Meghan. They worship at her altar. They are nothing without her.
Their admiration—matched only by their regret—oozes out as bitterness. But she sees them for what they are. She rules over them with effortless indifference and faint amusement.
May they continue to chase her shadow. Always behind, never catching up.
I couldn’t have said it any better
Perfectly said! Nothing more to add.
Ah Eliora! Poetic and so true.
We see William bearded and wearing combat gear and pretend medals to seem brave like.Harry.
We see Kate actually touching William lovingly ( and sweetly of course) when they were caught unexpectedly rolling in a summer meadow midst the hay bales. ( Golly gosh, Babykins, who are those men with cameras and others hiding in the bushes wearing dark glasses with bulges at their hips?)
Kate, William and Charles now regularly meet, greet and even HUG people of colour and may touch them after royal commentator Piers Morgan exposed Charles and Kate as the two racists who suggested Meghan’s children just MAY be coloured and soil the very family that was enriched by slavery.
Kate and Willy actually allowed black Caribbean children to reach through the mesh fence to brush their royal hands – a fence Meghan would have demanded be removed or would have gone around to hug with the happy youngsters.
Yes you are so right in saying Meghan sees them for what they are and how they chase her shadow.
It is called ‘Meghanisation’.
The secret of happiness is freedom and the secret of freedom is courage. Thucydides to Meghan – With love.
