Saturday Night Live UK has poked fun at Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The sketch comedy show took aim at the trio in the cold opener of Saturday’s episode.

In the sketch, the Prince (Freddie Meredith) and Princess (Annabel Marlow) of Wales were tricked into having an awkward reunion with Harry (Jack Shep) and Meghan (Ayoade Bamgboye) at Sandringham.

The meeting of the brothers and their wives was arranged by Andrew, played by George Fouracres.

The latest episode of SNL UK has poked fun at the royal family (Sky/Eva Pentel/Matt Crockett)The sketch kicked off with Meghan looking around and telling her husband: “Look, this is where your grandpa asked if I was related to Beyonce.”

Harry responded: “Classic. And over here, this is where he asked if I was related to him.”

William and Kate then approached the couple, with William calling his younger brother “Prince ginger pubes”.

Harry replied: “I told you not to call me that because you know I don’t have a comeback.”

Jumping in, Kate then said: “Oh look, William, it’s the woman from Suits.”

However, Harry snapped back and said: “She’s not on Suits anymore. She doesn’t do anything anymore.”

The couples were then joined in the sketch by the King, Queen and Andrew – who then asked the group: “Did somebody say Pizza Express Woking?”

The sketch referenced Harry and Meghan’s recent return to the UK (Sky/Eva Pentel/Matt Crockett)After Charles addressed his younger brother without using his former title, Andrew fired back: “That’s Prince Andrew to you.”

Calling out Andrew, the King said: “Enough is enough.

“You’re arrogant. You’re entitled. You represent an outdated institution that has had centuries of war, tax evasion, and slavery, and that’s all great, but you have also been accused of terrible things, and that’s where I draw the line.”

Andrew replied: “I swear, I never believed for one moment that my actions would have consequences.”

During its season two return last month, Saturday Night Live UK also took aim at Harry and Meghan after they returned to live in the UK six years after they stepped back as working royals amid the Megxit crisis and moved to the US.

The sketch, which was set at Balmoral, saw Charles poke fun at their status as non-working royals, joking the castle was for “royals only”, while Camilla told Meghan she was “as brown as ever”.

After the couple announced their move to the UK, Charles said: “Don’t tell me you spent all your Netflix money already.”

Harry responded: “Daddy, it was 60 million dollars. How long was it meant to last? I’m not asking for much.”

Andrew resigned from his royal duties in 2019 over his ties to the sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

He was later stripped of his title and ordered to move out of the Royal Lodge, his long-time residence.

In February this year, he was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office following allegations he shared sensitive information with Epstein during his time as the UK’s trade envoy.
