Meghan calls Camilla ‘step-queen’ and Charles tells Harry ‘Don’t tell me you’ve spent that Netflix money already’ as couple are mocked over their UK return on Saturday Night Live UK

Saturday Night Live UK poked fun at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's controversial move back to the UK, airing a sketch in which the couple visit a wary King Charles and Queen Camilla at Balmoral. The skit lampoons ongoing tensions between the Sussexes and the Royal Family, touching on their finances, past interview claims and the couple's insistence that they simply want to be treated as private citizens despite their fame.

In the sketch, Meghan (played by Ayoade Bamgboye) greets Camilla as "step-Queen" and gifts her homemade ice, while Charles (Larry Dean) asks Harry (Jack Shep) "Don't tell me you've spent all your Netflix money already" when the pair ask for help resettling in Britain, prompting Harry to protest that the $60million deal "wasn't meant to last forever". The scene also features a cameo from comedian George Fouraces as Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who jokes about representing Greater Manchester. The sketch follows the real-life couple's return to the UK on 26 August amid a security row, their objection to being labelled "private citizens", and reported friction with Buckingham Palace over a recent letter from the King; viewers online described the send-up as a "public execution in prime time".
