Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, were parodied on the Season 2 premiere of the late-night show, Saturday Night Live UK, during their recent return to England. The skit humorously targeted various aspects of the couple’s lives, including their deal with Netflix, Meghan’s entertainment projects, and the ongoing controversies surrounding race within the Royal Family.
The sketch opened with actors portraying Harry and Meghan visiting King Charles and Queen Camilla at a fictional version of Balmoral Castle in Scotland. The scene depicted a strained interaction as Charles questioned the couple’s financial decisions and post-royal endeavors, particularly referencing their Netflix deal, which reportedly concluded after five years without renewal.
The parody also lampooned Meghan’s lifestyle brand promotion on her Netflix show and referenced the couple’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, alluding to the comments made about their son’s skin color within the Royal Family. Additionally, the skit featured a spoof of Britain’s new prime minister, Andy Burnham, highlighting his desire to appear down-to-earth while Prince Harry and Meghan engaged in their own interactions.
Prince Harry, Meghan, and their two children recently relocated to the UK from the United States, where their children have begun attending British schools. The family’s decision to move back to England has not been officially explained, and they are expected to reside privately outside of London.
