Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, were the subjects of ridicule on the Season 2 premiere of the popular late-night show, Saturday Night Live UK. The comedic sketch, lasting four minutes and 52 seconds, took jabs at various aspects of the couple’s lives, including their Netflix deal, Meghan’s entertainment projects, and the ongoing controversies within the Royal Family related to race.
The sketch opened with Harry and Meghan, played by Jack Shep and Ayoade Bamgboye, visiting King Charles and Queen Camilla, portrayed by Larry Dean and Emma Sidi, at a parody of Balmoral Castle in Scotland. The interaction depicted a frosty reception from the royal family towards the couple’s return to the UK and their plea for assistance.
Charles humorously chided the couple about their financial management, specifically referencing their Netflix deal that ended in 2025. The sketch mocked Meghan’s lifestyle brand promotion on the streaming platform and playfully teased her attempt to establish herself as a lifestyle expert.
Additionally, the skit alluded to the couple’s controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, referencing the discussions around Prince Archie’s skin color. The segment further parodied Britain’s new prime minister, Andy Burnham, emphasizing his desire to be perceived as an ordinary individual while Harry and Meghan remained preoccupied in the background.
Prince Harry and Meghan, along with their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, recently returned to the UK from the United States without providing an official reason for their relocation. The family is settling into a private life outside of London, with the children already enrolled in British schools and beginning classes.
