Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were the subject of a comedic sketch on the latest episode of the UK version of “Saturday Night Live.” The couple, portrayed by actors Jack Shep and Ayoade Bamgboye, were depicted seeking help from King Charles and Queen Camilla upon their return to the UK. The skit humorously touched on various topics, including the couple’s Netflix deal, Meghan’s business ventures, and the Royal Family’s controversies related to race.
The opening scene featured a fictional encounter at Balmoral Castle, where King Charles, played by Larry Dean, appeared unimpressed by Harry and Meghan’s unexpected visit. The sketch poked fun at the couple’s financial situation post their Netflix deal, with Charles joking about their spending habits. The comedy segment also parodied Meghan’s lifestyle brand promotion on her Netflix show and referenced the couple’s Oprah Winfrey interview from 2021.
Amidst the comedic banter, the skit introduced a spoof of Britain’s Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, portrayed by George Fouracres. The remainder of the sketch focused on Burnham’s desire to be seen as a regular guy while Harry and Meghan engaged in their own interactions in the background.
Prince Harry and Meghan recently returned to the UK from the United States with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, planning to live privately outside of London. The couple’s decision to relocate has not been officially explained, but reports indicate that their children have commenced classes at British schools.
