In its return, SNL UK reluctantly welcomes back Harry and Meghan
The Jeff Goldblum-hosted second season premiere of Saturday Night Live 's British branch aired yesterday.
Saturday Night Live UK welcomed back Harry and Meghan in their second season, kicking off the live show with a political cold open that featured the royal family's reaction to the couple's return. King Charles (Larry Dean) and Queen Camilla (Emma Sidi) were seen begrudgingly welcoming Harry (Jack Shep) and Meghan (Ayoade Bamgboye), with the King dismissing his son's plea for privacy.
The audience laughed at the situation, bringing up rumors about Harry's true parentage. Later sketches saw SNL UK star George Fouracres play Prime Minister Andy Burnham, promising to give every British person a pint. The opening sketches featured large impressions and energetic performances, indicating that this version of SNL UK may have learned the lessons from its predecessor.
