"Timeless" lives up to its title, with lush instrumentals and ambient layers that evoke a witchy hour, eternal, and haunting cinematic feel. It truly stood out to us. We'll share it on our homepage playlist this weekend. That very same video features ex-Made in Chelsea cast members Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo making an interpretation of Meghan Markle's now infamous "Baby Mama Dance," with the pair seen dancing provocatively in a video also filmed in none other than Buckingham Palace.
In a flowing yellow gown, her pregnant belly visibly round, Sophie swayed to the viral "Mic Drop Mama" anthem as Jamie danced energetically beside her. The scene, which unfolds dramatically on the Palace's red velvet stairs, soon became a topic of online conversation, not just for its exuberant spontaneity but for the cheek of filming inside the historic royal residence.

A rare and biting response from the official Instagram account of the royal family. In a clever little splash of emojis, accompanied by the caption "We see you," the monarchy reminded the world that they are, in fact, paying attention. It was a modest but unmistakable divergence from their typical "never complain, never explain" social media strategy.
The timing couldn't be better. Just three weeks ago, Meghan Markle herself revisited the original "Baby Mama Dance" moment with a touching throwback video. In it, she happily dances for joy when pregnant with Princess Lilibet in the hospital, joined by Prince Harry as the couple waited for their daughter's arrival. The intimate, behind-the-scenes peek acted as a sweet nod to motherhood, and now, that snuggly sonogram baton has been passed to Jamie and Sophie's own beaming faces of anticipation.
Rarely one for light online trends, the royals' light-hearted nod to theirs is a sign of a changing tone, one that's a little more silly, a little more relatable, and a little more engaged in the digital space. If anything, it's evidence that even in the hallowed darkened halls of the Palace, being able to dance and laugh really can be the difference.
