Prince Harry and Meghan’s recent visit to the UK was humorously portrayed on the latest episode of Saturday Night Live UK, with a touch of British frostiness. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were playfully ridiculed during the show’s Season 2 premiere, taking jabs at their Netflix deal, Meghan’s TV and business ventures, and the ongoing controversies surrounding race within the Royal Family.
The sketch opened with actors portraying Harry and Meghan visiting a fictional version of Balmoral Castle to seek help from King Charles and Queen Camilla. The portrayal depicted a less-than-enthusiastic reception from the royal family, especially towards the couple’s financial situation post their Netflix deal. The comedy segment also poked fun at Meghan’s lifestyle brand and cooking show featured on Netflix.
The skit cleverly referenced the couple’s Oprah Winfrey interview from 2021, including a comedic moment where Camilla greeted Meghan with a quirky comment about her skin color. The scene then transitioned into a spoof of Britain’s new prime minister, Andy Burnham, with the focus shifting to his desire to be seen as a “regular guy” while Harry and Meghan remained engrossed in their own world.
After returning to the UK from the US with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, the Duke and Duchess are settling in privately outside London. The reason for their relocation remains undisclosed, but their children have started attending British schools.
