Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were mocked on Saturday Night Live as host Colin Jost made a brutal joke about the couple.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared happier than ever this weekend as they attended Beyoncé‘s Cowboy Carter tour in Los Angeles – with Meghan posting loved-up snaps of their evening.
But they were at the centre of an SNL quip last night as Jost delivered a breakdown of the week’s major news stories.
The presenter addressed the current UK-US trade deal between Sir Keir Starmer and Donald Trump, joking: ‘President Trump also announced a new trade deal with the UK that will reopen British markets for American companies.
‘All that Britain demands in return is that we keep these two,’ as a photo of Harry and Meghan appeared on the screen behind him.
The joke comes after Trump announced an agreement with the UK, which Sir Keir attended via phone call to the White House.

The Duke and Duchess danced the night away this weekend at the fifth night of Beyoncé’s tour in California.
The pair were among thousands of fans who crowded into the SoFi Stadium on Friday as the artist performed her last show in LA before heading to Chicago.
Afterwards, Beyoncé shared a photograph of the royals on her website, capturing the grinning couple as they cosied up inside the luxurious VIP lounge to watch the Crazy in Love singer perform.
The Duchess of Sussex also took to her own Instagram, sharing a glimpse of her and Harry’s night on the town among the crowds of adoring fans, with the Duke planting a kiss on her cheek during the show.
Meghan shared a series of smiley snaps of herself, Harry and friends, sporting cowboy hats, in keeping with the tour’s theme, as they swayed to various hits from the Cowboy Carter album.
Another short video showed the Duchess appear emotional while she cheers on the superstar songstress as she sings her hit song 16 carriages, while sitting on a floating American-style car.
Alongside the series of jubilant photos, she penned: ‘About last night… Thank you Beyonce and team for an amazing concert (and a very fun date night) All love.’

Fans also snuck footage of Prince Harry from nearby seats, with the Duke shuffling around as his wife danced in front of him.
Following Beyonce’s cowboy dress code, Meghan sported a tight denim dress, while Harry wore a dark green cowboy hat with ‘My Love’, Lili and Archie inscribed inside alongside a US and UK flag.
She wore her hair up for the night, and was later spotted wearing her husband’s hat as the concert amped up with a remixed rendition of Texas Hold ‘Em.
The Halo singer – who kicked off her tour just over year and a half after she wrapped up her whirlwind Renaissance World Tour – has welcomed Harry and Meghan to her shows previously.
In 2023, the royals attended the Renaissance World Tour, also at the SoFi Stadium, where Prince Harry once again appeared less than impressed – and more interested in his phone.
