Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, faced a chilly reception upon their highly anticipated return to England, as humorously portrayed on the Season 2 premiere of a popular late-night show, “Saturday Night Live UK.” The comedic sketch took aim at various aspects of the couple’s lives, including their Netflix deal, Meghan’s business endeavors, and the ongoing controversies surrounding race within the Royal Family.
The segment opened with Harry and Meghan visiting a fictional version of King Charles and Queen Camilla at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. The humor ensued as the couple sought assistance upon their return to the U.K., prompting Charles to mock their financial situation and post-royal projects. References were made to the couple’s Netflix deal, with jokes about the longevity of the $60 million contract.
The sketch also humorously touched on Meghan’s Netflix projects, including the docuseries “Harry & Meghan” and her lifestyle show “With Love, Meghan,” where she promoted her brand, As Ever. The satire continued with Meghan presenting a homemade ice gift to Camilla, showcasing her culinary skills.
Additionally, the skit cleverly referenced Harry and Meghan’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, alluding to the comments made about their son’s skin color within the Royal Family. The segment later transitioned to a spoof of Britain’s prime minister, Andy Burnham, with humor centered around his desire to appear relatable while the royal couple remained aloof in the background.
Prince Harry, Meghan, and their two children recently returned to the U.K. from the United States, settling outside of London for a more private lifestyle. The family’s relocation has sparked curiosity, especially as their children have begun attending British schools without any official explanation provided.
