Prince William in Stitches as Tom Allen Roasts Harry and Meghan at Royal Variety Show
Prince William couldn't contain his laughter as comedian Tom Allen took playful jabs at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during the Royal Variety Show.
Alongside Catherine, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, he enjoyed an evening filled with entertainment and amusement.
However, not everyone found Allen's jokes amusing, particularly those aimed at the controversial couple.
Known for his sarcastic and clever sense of humor, Allen referred to Harry and Meghan as the “Duke and Duchess of Netflix.”
He humorously pointed out their relocation to California, where they have secured lucrative deals with streaming platforms and made appearances on various shows and podcasts.
Allen also playfully mocked their claims of facing racism and oppression within the royal family, highlighting the trivial dilemmas they've encountered, like choosing between a Range Rover or a Bentley, or deciding between skiing or going to the beach.
The audience, including Prince William and Kate, erupted in laughter and applause at Allen's comedic remarks.
The couple, next in line to the throne, seemed to be in high spirits and showed no signs of discomfort or displeasure.
However, some fans and commentators criticized Allen for being disrespectful, insensitive, and bullying towards Harry and Meghan.
They argued that his jokes crossed the line and demanded an apology, considering the couple's struggles with mental health and media scrutiny.
One Twitter user expressed their disappointment, labeling Allen as cruel and mean for making fun of Harry and Meghan, who have endured so much.
They condemned him as a bully and a coward.
Another user questioned Prince William and Kate's reaction, suggesting that they should support their family rather than find humor in their expense.
Accusing the couple of being heartless and hypocritical, they expressed their disbelief.
Following the show, Allen took to Instagram to share a photo of himself with Prince William and Kate, expressing his gratitude for hosting the Royal Variety Show and meeting the charming and adorable Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
He commended their great sense of humor, further solidifying the positive atmosphere of the evening.
While Allen's comedic take on Harry and Meghan's experiences garnered mixed reactions, it undeniably added an element of amusement to the Royal Variety Show.
As the laughter echoed throughout the theater, it became evident that comedy has the power to both entertain and ignite debates about the boundaries of humor in the public sphere.
