Hollywood’s Satirical Take on Meghan Markle Sparks Controversy

In recent weeks, Hollywood has been buzzing with laughter and critique as popular TV shows take aim at Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex.

The latest jab comes from the renowned U.S. comedy program, Saturday Night Live (SNL), which featured a skit poking fun at Meghan's royal status.

Comedian Michael Chee humorously portrayed Meghan as a maid, joking about her supposedly earning $19 an hour to attend the coronation.

While many viewers found the segment entertaining, not everyone was amused.

Social media platforms were abuzz with reactions to the SNL sketch.

Vianna Flores took to Twitter, expressing her amusement with a simple “This is hilarious.”

Meanwhile, some viewers in the studio audience burst into laughter, while others online responded with claps and cry-laughing emojis.

However, not all feedback was positive.

Charmi Mae criticized Chee's humor as sexist and disrespectful towards Meghan, calling for an apology and retraction of the segment.

The SNL skit is just one in a series of comedic jabs taken at the Sussexes.

Previously, the royal couple was lampooned in an episode of the popular show South Park, where they were portrayed as attention-seeking figures on a global privacy tour.

The satire drew mixed reactions, with a spokesperson for Harry and Meghan dismissing it as baseless and tedious.

The couple, who seemed untouchable in the U.S. media landscape, faced their first significant backlash from Hollywood through these comedic portrayals.

Comedian Chris Rock also joined the fray, mocking Meghan in his recent Netflix special.

Rock derided Meghan's allegations of racism against the royal family, questioning her understanding of the situation.

The comedic landscape seems to be taking a collective dig at the royal couple, adding fuel to the ongoing debate surrounding their public image.

In another royal news update, Lady Louise finds herself at the center of controversy over her lack of a new title amidst growing criticism of sexist traditions within the monarchy.

Following the announcement that her father, Prince Edward, had been bestowed the title of Duke of Edinburgh, Lady Louise remains the only immediate family member without a new title.

This decision has sparked outrage among royal enthusiasts, prompting a closer examination of the circumstances.

Lady Louise's exclusion from receiving a new title stems from her position in the royal succession hierarchy and the constraints imposed by existing constitutional norms.

Professor Craig Prescott, an expert in UK constitutional law, explains that under current rules, it is unlikely for Lady Louise to be granted an additional title.

While there is a possibility for the king to bestow a title upon her, it appears that Edward and Sophie have opted to maintain the status quo for now.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams suggests that Lady Louise's unchanged title reflects the family's disinterest in involving her as an active member of the royal household.

The ongoing debate surrounding Meghan's portrayal in the media and Lady Louise's title situation underscore the complexities and controversies inherent in the world of royalty and celebrity.
