SNL UK Premiere Satirizes Harry and Meghan's UK Return

The second season of Saturday Night Live UK opened with a satirical cold open sketch mocking Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's recent return to the United Kingdom. The sketch, which aired on September 12, 2026, depicted the Duke and Duchess of Sussex visiting King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. In the scene, actors Jack Shep and Ayoade Bamgboye portrayed Harry and Meghan. King Charles, played by Larry Dean, greeted their arrival with skepticism, asking, "What do you two want? Don't tell me you've spent that Netflix money already." Harry's character responded by citing the deal's value, though sources reported the figure differently, with some quoting "16 million" and others "60 million." Queen Camilla, portrayed by Emma Sidi, offered a seemingly warmer welcome that referenced past royal controversies. "Hello, sweet Harry. And beautiful Meghan, as brown as ever," she said, a line widely interpreted as a nod to the couple's 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, where they alleged a royal family member had expressed concern about the skin color of their unborn son.
