Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Get Brutal SNL Welcome After Moving Back to UK
Jeff Goldblum hosted the premiere, which skewered Harry and Meghan’s return to the U.K. in a four-minute, 52-second cold open.
- On Saturday, Sept. 12, Saturday Night Live UK opened its second season with a cold open featuring Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan arriving at Balmoral Castle to visit King Charles and Queen Camilla.
- The parody follows reports from last month confirming the Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned to Britain with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, six years after relocating to the United States.
- In the sketch, King Charles questioned the couple's spending, prompting the actor playing Harry to retort, "It was $60 million!" while the show also targeted paternity rumors and Meghan's cooking ventures.
- Portraying the Sussexes, Jack Shep and Ayoade Bamgboye joined actors Larry Dean and Emma Sidi, who played the King and Queen, as the couple remains non-working royals.
- While Jeff Goldblum hosted the premiere, the real-life Sussexes continue their media ventures under a new multi-year first-look agreement with Netflix that replaced their original five-year contract ending in 2025.
