Moonpig has released a Father's Day card featuring illustrated depictions of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle dancing, inspired by their recent viral video.
The greeting card company's creation is being tipped as this year's bestselling Father's Day card.
The card showcases the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in animated form, recreating the moment from their hospital room dance that captured public attention earlier this month.
Card experts at Moonpig have predicted strong sales for the product, which pays homage to what The Daily Brit described as Prince Harry's "dad dancing" that was "a sight to behold."

The tongue-in-cheek design capitalises on the widespread reaction to the couple's unconventional labour-inducing dance.
The video that inspired the card was posted by Meghan on Instagram to mark Princess Lilibet's fourth birthday earlier this month.
In the footage, the Duchess, then 43 and heavily pregnant, can be seen twerking in a hospital room whilst Starrkeisha's viral Baby Mama song plays.
Prince Harry appears in the video as Meghan gyrates around the room in front of a hospital bed. The couple shared the throwback clip with a caption explaining: "Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates... so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work - there was only one thing left to do!"

The card features the slogan "This Father's Day, Dad Dance Like No One's Watching" emblazoned across the design.
According to Moonpig's website description, it shows "a pregnant woman and a man in a hoodie dancing joyfully against a blue background with stars."
The product includes "a bold and playful message in capital letters" and is available exclusively on Moonpig's platform. Pricing starts at £3.99 for the standard size, with large and giant options also available.
The greeting card company has positioned the product as a humorous Father's Day offering, directly referencing the Sussex's memorable hospital room moment.
