King Charles stepped out for a royal engagement just hours after Meghan Markle set social media ablaze with a controversial video of herself and Prince Harry dancing before the birth of Princess Lilibet.

While the video, featuring the couple twerking to The Baby Momma Dance, was branded “unroyal” by some commentators, the King appeared unbothered as he carried out official duties in London.

The 76-year-old monarch attended a service marking the 400th anniversary of the Queen’s Chapel, smiling throughout the 40-minute event.

Though Queen Camilla was absent, Princess Alexandra joined the King for the celebration, which featured music from His Majesty’s Chapel Royal Choir and a newly commissioned ceremonial cup, the King Charles III Ciboria, created by silversmith Tim Lukes.

The King, who was recently accused by Prince Harry of refusing to speak to him, made no public mention of the viral video, or of his granddaughter Lilibet’s birthday, which coincided with the event.

As tensions remain high between the Sussexes and the royal family, royal commentator Jennie Bond told The Mirror it’s “incredibly sad” that Charles is missing out on his grandchildren’s lives.

What did Prince Harry say in his BBC interview?

The Duke of Sussex is at the centre of royal drama following his bombshell BBC interview, where he claimed King Charles "won’t speak to him" and shockingly added that he doesn't know “how much longer [his father] has”.

The emotional sit-down came just days after Harry lost his appeal to reinstate his taxpayer-funded police protection in the UK — and now, the fallout is getting even messier.

But with growing calls for him to be cut off, and Buckingham Palace sticking firmly to their position — reiterating that “all these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts” — a reunion with the Royal Family seems further away than ever.
