“Saturday Night Live UK”‘s recent episode took a playful jab at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s return to the country. The sketch opened with cast members portraying King Charles and Queen Camilla relaxing at Balmoral Castle in the Scottish Highlands. They are then visited by the fake Duke and Duchess of Sussex, announcing that they’re back. Overall, the sketch poked fun at the royal drama, Markle’s cooking, the Sussexes’ finances, and their non-working royal titles.

SNL UK targeted the Sussexes’ Netflix deal and royal status in its Season 2 premiere

“SNL UK”‘s Season 2 premiere saw Larry Dean and Emma Sidi portray King Charles and Queen Camilla, while Jack Shep and Ayoade Bamgboye played way-too-affectionate Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

The sketch begins with fake Charles and Camilla sharing a moment of peace in a cozy room at Balmoral Castle. The king appreciates the downtime before making a sarcastic remark that draws massive laughs. “Clean Scottish air, dirty Scottish people … bliss,” he adds. Camilla replies that she loves their relaxing weekends away from the responsibilities. Then, they are paid a visit by the fake Sussexes.

The scene moves on to Markle presenting Camilla with an ice tray as a gift, a jab at the former’s deep interest in cooking, which she had openly stated several times. She says that she made the ice herself and would share her recipe. Harry steps in to back his wife, saying that she hires the best chefs.

Later, the fictional Sussexes become overly affectionate, creating an awkward atmosphere in the room, as evidenced by the monarch’s and queen’s discomfort. Charles then asks his younger son as to why he is back in the UK and whether he has spent his Netflix money already. To this, Harry replies, “Daddy, it was $60 million! How long was it meant to last?”

Furthermore, the fake Harry also subtly makes a bold comment, alluding to King Charles’ recent letter, which clarifies that the Sussexes are private citizens. “Daddy, just because I don’t want to be a royal doesn’t mean I want to be a regular guy,” Harry adds.
