Story summary

On October 10, SNL UK aired a sketch mocking the strained relationship between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (Prince Harry and Meghan Markle) and the Prince and Princess of Wales (Prince William and Kate Middleton). The skit, hosted by Danny Dyer, featured actors impersonating the royal family members meeting awkwardly at Sandringham after being tricked into the reunion by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. During the sketch, Meghan joked about a previous encounter with King Charles asking if she was related to Beyoncé, while Harry quipped about Andrew's query regarding their relation. William mockingly called Harry "Prince Ginger Pubes," and Harry responded sarcastically to Kate’s remark that Meghan is from the show Suits by saying, “She doesn’t do anything anymore.” The sketch also included a cameo by King Charles and Queen Camilla, with Andrew infamously asking if anyone mentioned Pizza Express Woking, referencing a previous controversy.
