Los Angeles.- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were the target of a parody on the program “Saturday Night Live”, where comedian Colin Jost ridiculed them during the “Weekend Update” segment, which he shares with Michael Che.
Jost, 42, joked about a supposed new trade deal between the United States and the United Kingdom announced by former President Donald Trump. “All the UK is asking in return is that we keep these two,” the presenter said, as an image of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared on screen.
So far, neither Harry nor Meghan have responded to the comments, and a representative of the couple has not offered statements after the sketch.
The appearance on SNL coincided with a recent public outing of the couple. The night before, the Duke and Duchess attended the final concert of Beyoncé's “Cowboy Carter” tour at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, where they were affectionate and loving in public.
Meghan, 43, shared a summary of the evening on her social media, including a video where Harry, 40, gives her a kiss on the cheek. In the image carousel, the prince's cowboy hat, forest green in color, was also appreciated, with the names of his children —Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 3— engraved on the inner brim.
In the custom accessory it read: “Archie, Lili, My Love”, along with embroideries of the flags of the United States, California and the United Kingdom.
This romantic moment occurs just days after sources close to him revealed to Page Six that Harry has been completely removed from the royal family, due to the distrust that exists towards him and his wife.
“I truly believe that nobody trusts him, and that's the core problem,” indicated a close source. “The royal family has serious trust issues with Harry and Meghan. Maybe there's room for forgiveness, but not for forgetting. Forgiveness and trust are not the same thing.”
Harry and Meghan stepped down from their royal duties in 2020 and moved to North America, after denouncing alleged racist attitudes and a toxic environment within the British royal family. They currently live with their children in a mansion valued at $14 million in Montecito, California.
