Kate McKinnon Hilariously Parodies Meghan Markle in SNL Sketch

Former Saturday Night Live (SNL) cast member and star of the upcoming Barbie movie, Kate McKinnon, made a highly anticipated return to host the show on Saturday night.

During her hosting stint, she delivered a merciless sketch that humorously lampooned Meghan Markle and the ongoing royal drama.

McKinnon, renowned for her spot-on celebrity and political impressions, took on the role of Markle in a parody of the popular series The Crown.

In this sketch, she portrayed Markle as a cunning and avaricious individual who manipulated Prince Harry to achieve fame and fortune.

The sketch kicked off with McKinnon's Markle introducing herself as Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, but playfully adding, “you can call me Princess.”

She announced her intention to share her side of the story through a documentary series called The Scheme.

From there, she embarked on a comically exaggerated narrative of her life as a royal, highlighting her supposed struggles and achievements while poking fun at other members of the royal family.

McKinnon's Markle claimed to have endured racism, sexism, and media scrutiny, emphasizing that she had sacrificed everything for love.

With a humorous tone, she mentioned relinquishing her acting career, friendships, family ties, and even her home country.

She painted a ludicrous picture of her living conditions, describing a dungeon-like existence in Windsor Castle with no privacy, freedom, or enjoyment.

The sketch continued with Markle boasting about her supposed accomplishments, declaring that she had inspired millions, changed the world, and made history.

In a facetious manner, she asserted herself as the creator of a global brand, a media empire, and a humanitarian foundation.

Furthermore, she humorously proclaimed herself as the most influential and powerful woman globally.

McKinnon's Markle didn't spare Prince Harry either, mockingly referring to him as her “little ginger puppet.”

She claimed to have seduced, brainwashed, and controlled him, turning him from a prince into a loser who obeyed her every command.

The sketch didn't hold back in ridiculing other members of the royal family either, including Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and Prince Andrew.

They were portrayed in a derogatory manner, with Markle hurling insults at them, describing them as old, boring, irrelevant, and corrupt.

She alleged that they had attempted to hinder her and Harry's happiness but had failed.

The sketch concluded with McKinnon's Markle asserting her newfound freedom and happiness, describing a life filled with love, children, and a California mansion.

She claimed to have an army of fans, followers, and wealth, declaring herself the real queen.

The sketch garnered significant attention on social media, with many praising McKinnon's return to SNL and her comical portrayal of Markle.

Some applauded the sketch for holding Markle accountable for her actions, while others defended her, believing it to be unfair and mean-spirited.

Meghan Markle has not commented on the sketch, and her representatives have chosen not to offer any response.

Currently, Markle resides in California with her husband, Prince Harry, and their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
