Meghan Markle became the target of a biting joke during a new “Saturday Night Live UK” sketch that imagined an uncomfortable reunion between Prince Harry and the royal family. The comedy show took aim at the Duchess of Sussex’s former acting career, reducing her to a reference to the legal drama “Suits” as tensions between the fictional royals played out.

Prince William, Kate Middleton, and Harry were also caught up in the parody, which turned their much-discussed family disagreements into a series of awkward exchanges. The sketch aired on October 10, adding a new comedic twist to the ongoing public fascination with the Sussexes and their strained relationship with the monarchy.

The October 10 episode of “Saturday Night Live UK,” hosted by Danny Dyer, opened with a fictional royal reunion at Sandringham. According to Page Six, the sketch featured Freddie Meredith as Prince William, Annabel Marlow as Kate Middleton, Jack Shep as Prince Harry, and Ayoade Bamgboye as Meghan Markle. The reunion takes an uncomfortable turn when William and Kate unexpectedly encounter Harry and Meghan.

“Oh look, William, it’s the woman from ‘Suits,’” the fictional Kate remarks.

Shep’s Harry immediately attempts to defend his wife, but his response only makes the joke more cutting.

“She’s not on ‘Suits’ anymore. She doesn’t do anything anymore,” the fictional duke replies.

The exchange turns Meghan’s former acting career into a punchline while also poking fun at her life since leaving the royal family.

Meghan wasn’t the only royal to become the target of the show’s writers. The sketch begins with Harry and Meghan wandering around Sandringham, where the fictional duchess recalls an uncomfortable interaction with her husband’s grandfather.

“Look, this is where your grandpa asked if I was related to Beyoncé,” she says.

Harry responds, “Classic. And over here, this is where he asked if I was related to him.”

Things become even more awkward when William and Kate arrive, setting up a confrontation between the estranged brothers. William greets Harry with an insulting nickname, calling him “Prince Ginger Pubes.”

Rather than firing back, Harry admits, “I told you not to call me that because you know I don’t have a comeback.”

The exchange exaggerates the brothers’ strained relationship, turning years of royal family tensions into a series of deliberately uncomfortable jokes.

The fictional reunion is orchestrated by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, played by George Fouracres. In the sketch, Andrew brings the estranged family members together at Sandringham without warning, creating the perfect setting for the brothers’ confrontation.

King Charles, portrayed by Larry Dean, and Queen Camilla also make appearances as the situation becomes increasingly chaotic. The writers then turn their attention to Andrew himself, including a reference to Pizza Express in Woking.

“Did somebody say Pizza Express Woking?!” the fictional Andrew exclaims.

The joke references Andrew’s widely discussed 2019 BBC interview, in which he mentioned taking his daughter to the restaurant while addressing allegations involving Virginia Giuffre. The sketch also mocks Andrew’s fall from royal favor and his association with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. By including Andrew, the show broadens its satire beyond Harry and Meghan, taking aim at several controversies surrounding the monarchy.

The latest parody is not the first time “Saturday Night Live UK” has made Harry and Meghan the subjects of its comedy. The show previously opened its second season in September with a sketch imagining the couple returning to Britain and visiting King Charles and Queen Camilla at Balmoral. According to the Press Association, that earlier parody featured Harry enthusiastically announcing his arrival at the royal residence.

“Daddy, I’m home!” the fictional duke exclaimed.

The scene also poked fun at Harry and Meghan’s status as non-working royals, suggesting that their decision to leave official duties had complicated their place within the monarchy. The October 10 sketch revisits similar themes but adds William and Kate to the mix, allowing the show to explore the brothers’ estrangement and Meghan’s relationship with her royal in-laws.

The comedy sketch arrives amid continued public interest in Harry and Meghan’s relationship with the royal family. Since stepping back from official duties in 2020, the couple have spoken openly about their experiences within the monarchy, including through interviews, their Netflix documentary, and Harry’s memoir, “Spare.” Their strained relationship with William and Kate has remained a recurring subject of royal commentary. More recently, reports about a possible apology between the couples were met with skepticism, highlighting the continuing uncertainty surrounding any reconciliation.

Meghan has also faced criticism over the couple’s reportedly more modest plans for life in Britain. While the “SNL UK” sketch is fictional, its jokes draw on controversies that have followed the Sussexes for years. And by turning Meghan’s former television career into one of its sharpest punchlines, the comedy show has found another way to bring the royal family’s unresolved tensions into the spotlight.
