In a recent episode of Saturday Night Live, host Michael Che unleashed a barrage of comedic jabs aimed squarely at Prince Harry, labeling him nothing less than “Satan incarnate.”
This was not just your run-of-the-mill roast; it was a full-on demolition of the Duke of Sussex.
The absence of Harry and Meghan Markle at the Golden Globes was palpable, but judging by Che’s performance, perhaps their presence wouldn’t have improved matters.
The comedic chaos kicked off when comedian Joe Coy took a swing at the couple’s much-discussed contracts, which seem to be more trouble than they’re worth.
With Spotify cutting ties, one executive didn’t hold back in describing the Sussexes as mere grifters.
That’s gotta sting!
When public perception turns against you, it’s a clear indication that your star is fading fast.
Phil Dumpier, a familiar face on GB News, chimed in with his thoughts, suggesting that when you become the subject of ridicule among the “woke” crowd, it’s time to consider a retreat.
Indeed, it appears the couple is facing a rapid decline in their popularity, and the fall from grace is swift and unforgiving.
But the roasting didn’t stop there.
Iconic animated series like South Park and Family Guy have also joined the fray, turning Meghan and Harry into fodder for humor.
Once royal fixtures, they now find themselves relegated to the status of punchlines, and 2024 could very well be the year that cements their comic legacy unless they manage to turn things around dramatically.
Maya RZ, a keen observer of celebrity gossip, believes it’s about time the couple embraced their new role as the b-tt of jokes.
After all, stepping away from royal duties doesn’t come without its share of mockery.
Hosts at events like the Golden Globes have a tradition of roasting high-profile figures, and Joe Koy certainly followed suit.
During the SNL segment, Che didn’t shy away from taking aim at the British royal family.
He introduced two fictional British rappers, Millie Pounds and Shiri C.H., who had plenty to say about the royals.
Their verses were both humorous and pointed, as they shifted the focus from royal antics to the media’s relentless pursuit of scandal.
These rappers didn’t hold back, hinting at their past connections with Harry since his days at Eton.
They dropped bars that painted a vivid picture of the prince’s life, including a cheeky reference to his stay at Tyler Perry’s residence.
Their clever wordplay served as a frosty reception to Harry’s current predicament.
Interestingly, the rappers also wove in references to interracial dating, subtly nudging at Meghan Markle’s revelations during her infamous Oprah interview regarding the royal family’s concerns over baby Archie‘s skin color.
The Sussexes continue to make headlines, despite their apparent desire to distance themselves from such controversies.
As the jokes pile up, it becomes increasingly clear that Harry and Meghan are struggling to address the criticisms directed at them.
Their silence only amplifies the narrative that their time in the limelight is dwindling.
Once celebrated royals, they now find themselves as the punchline in American pop culture.
With each comedic jab, the royal couple’s image continues to shift.
