'SNL UK' roasts Prince Harry, Meghan Markle's UK return
Key Points:
- “Saturday Night Live UK” spoofed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s return to the UK by joking they quickly spent their $60 million Netflix deal money, highlighting financial speculation around their move.
- The sketch referenced past royal family tensions, including Meghan’s biracial heritage and the controversial Oprah interview, with satirical nods to Meghan’s lifestyle brand and cooking show.
- The couple’s return involves enrolling their children in a UK prep school, with sources citing a desire to be closer to Harry’s family rather than purely financial reasons.
- After their original five-year Netflix deal ended in September 2025 without renewal, Harry and Meghan secured a new multi-year, first-look deal with the streaming service through their Archewell Productions.
- The season 2 premiere of “Saturday Night Live UK” was hosted by Jeff Goldblum, featuring musical guest CMAT, and included a comedic portrayal of UK political and royal figures.
