Over the past few years, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have found themselves unwittingly becoming fodder for various TV shows, with their every move scrutinized and often turned into comedic material.
The latest jab at the royal couple came from Saturday Night Live (SNL), where Meghan was hilariously roasted in a skit that parodied the spin-off of the popular legal drama “Suits.”
In a recent episode, it was revealed that a pilot order had been given to the spin-off, which is set to take place in Los Angeles and will revolve around Meghan's character navigating her legal career while also tending to an unemployed immigrant.
Colin Jost, a cast member on SNL, couldn't resist poking fun at the situation, particularly Prince Harry, whose image appeared on the screen as part of the joke.
The fact that jokes about Harry and Meghan have now become commonplace and easily accessible targets reflects a shift in public perception, signaling that the once-revered couple no longer commands the same level of serious attention in the United States.
Despite their attempts to maintain an air of sophistication, their philanthropic efforts and charitable endeavors have largely fallen flat, leaving them open to ridicule and mockery.
What adds a layer of irony to the situation is that Prince Harry, who aimed to be taken more seriously after stepping back from his royal duties, now finds himself subjected to even greater levels of ridicule than before.
It seems that fate has a way of catching up with those who court controversy and seek the limelight for questionable reasons.
Initial plans for Harry and Meghan to host SNL never materialized, much like many of their other ambitions.
Speculation arose that Meghan's supposed connections in the entertainment industry would pave the way for such opportunities, but the reality paints a different picture.
Despite her claims of having influential friends, notable figures like Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey have not included her in any of their projects or extended invitations to major events.
The recent dig at the couple comes on the heels of criticism surrounding their Hollywood ventures, with rumors swirling about Meghan's involvement in a potential reboot of “Suits.”
However, co-stars from the original series have debunked these rumors, clarifying that the new project will feature a fresh cast and storyline under the guidance of creator Aaron Korsh.
The upcoming series, titled “Suits L.A.,” follows the journey of Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor reinventing himself as a legal representative for powerful clients in Los Angeles.
Amidst a crisis within his firm, Ted must confront his past and embrace a role he once disdained, all while navigating complex relationships with his colleagues and delving into personal histories that continue to haunt him.
With production set to commence in Vancouver under the direction of Victoria Mahoney, “Suits L.A.” offers a promising glimpse into the intertwining worlds of law, power, and personal struggles.
If the pilot receives a green light for a full series, viewers can anticipate its potential release in the 2024-2025 television season, with Korsh and other former “Suits” executives at the helm to guide the show's evolution.
