SNL UK Roasts Harry & Meghan's Netflix Budget
12 Sep
Summary
- Prince Harry questioned his $60 million Netflix budget on SNL UK.
- Meghan Markle gifted Queen Camilla 'ice' she made herself.
- New PM Andy Burnham offered the nation a beer on SNL UK.
The second season of Saturday Night Live UK opened with a comedic sketch focusing on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's visit to Balmoral Castle to see the King and Queen. The skit humorously depicted King Charles III expressing shock over the couple's finances, questioning how their $60 million Netflix deal was being spent.
Prince Harry responded to his father's concerns by asking how long the substantial sum was expected to last, while Queen Camilla offered a warmer, albeit remarked-upon, greeting. Meghan Markle added to the humor by presenting the Queen with a gift of homemade ice, a subtle nod to her recent lifestyle series.
The royal family's reunion was humorously interrupted by the introduction of the new UK Prime Minister, Andy Burnham. Portrayed in his characteristic style, he offered the nation a beer and pledged a new political approach, contrasting himself with previous leaders and assuring the public that ordinary lives need not be 'crap'.
The premiere episode was hosted by Jeff Goldblum, who kicked off the show with a musical performance from the London studio, setting a lively tone for the season.
