A recent social media interaction from the official royal family accounts has fueled conversation, following a lighthearted video filmed inside Buckingham Palace.
The clip, posted by British personalities Jamie Lang and Sophie Habboo, was recorded during a reception at the palace celebrating The King’s Trust Awards. In the brief video, the duo recreates a now-viral dance from a private moment shared years ago by a royal family member and her husband in a hospital setting. The original video, shared publicly earlier this month to mark a child’s birthday, showed the couple dancing shortly before the birth of their second child.
Lang captioned the parody video, filmed on a palace staircase, with a joking reference to filming rules. The notable moment came when the official royal family Instagram account commented on the post with a simple, “We see you 👀😉.”
This seemingly playful acknowledgment has been interpreted by some observers as a subtle, public reaction to the ongoing media narrative surrounding the personal lives of certain family members. The original birthday video had drawn a mixed response online, with some criticizing it while others defended it as a genuine personal moment.
The individual who posted the original dance video has previously addressed public criticism, suggesting on a podcast that such personal shares are a way to present an authentic life beyond public scrutiny. A friend has also spoken out strongly against the intense speculation and conspiracy theories that sometimes follow such personal disclosures, calling the experience “sickening and cruel.”
The palace has made no further official statement regarding the social media comment. The reception itself honored various award winners for their charitable and community work.
