Meghan Markle Mocked on SNL as Coronation Invitation Sparks Controversy

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has once again found herself at the center of a comedic sketch on the popular US show, Saturday Night Live (SNL).

Comedian Michael Che took a swipe at Meghan during his segment, jokingly suggesting that she was being offered a meager $19 an hour to attend the coronation of King Charles.

As he made the remark, a graphic of Meghan dressed as a maid appeared behind him, eliciting shocked laughter from the studio audience and generating a positive response from viewers at home.

The SNL episode aired on Saturday night, with Che delivering the punchline, “It was reported that the organizers of King Charles's coronation have officially invited Meghan Markle, and this is nice, at a starting salary of $19 an hour.”

The segment quickly gained traction on social media, with Twitter user Vianna Flores exclaiming, “This is hilarious.”

Other viewers also expressed their amusement through cry laughing emojis and claps.

However, not everyone found the sketch amusing.

Meghan's fans took to Twitter to voice their discontent, labeling the sketch cruel and offensive.

One disgruntled viewer criticized Michael Che, stating, “Notice how Michael Che is not funny and he never has been.

Especially tonight with his trashy cheap shot Meghan joke.

It's not funny.

Just getting used to insult a black woman, apologize and retract, but it's unforgivable.

It's not even funny.

It's just rude.”

The controversy surrounding Meghan's alleged snub from King Charles's coronation also emerged.

Reports suggest that Archie and Lilibet, Meghan and Prince Harry's children, were not extended an invitation to the grand event.

While Harry and Meghan are said to have received invitations, it remains uncertain whether their young ones will be included.

Buckingham Palace sources emphasize the need for equality in discussions about the roles of both the Queen Consort's grandchildren and her husband's.

According to insiders, Harry and Meghan will not be part of the official balcony appearance during the coronation, and many members of the royal family have expressed a lack of interest in socializing with the couple.

A friend of the royal family revealed that discussions have taken place regarding Harry's attendance at the ceremony alone or potentially skipping it altogether.

Despite this, the friend acknowledged that Harry recognizes the significance of the event in his father's life, making it an important occasion for him as well.

The controversy surrounding Meghan Markle continues to attract attention, with SNL adding fuel to the fire through their comedic sketch.

While some viewers found the segment hilarious, others criticized it as being disrespectful towards Meghan.

Meanwhile, the question of whether Archie and Lilibet will be included in the coronation festivities remains unanswered.

As the anticipation builds, it is clear that this event will be a defining moment for both the British royal family and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
