Make Page Six a Preferred Source Prince Harry and Prince William took aim at one another in a hilarious new “SNL UK” cold open.
In the sketch, Prince William (Freddie Meredith) and Kate Middleton (Annabel Marlow) are tricked into an awkward reunion with Prince Harry (Jack Shep) and Meghan Markle (Ayoade Bamgboye) at Sandringham — by none other than disgraced ex-prince, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (George Fouracres).
The Oct. 10 skit begins with Markle saying, while looking around, “Look, this is where your grandpa asked if I was related to Beyoncé,” to which Harry responds, “Classic. And over here, this is where he asked if I was related to him.”
The Prince and Princess of Wales then come upon the pair, with Prince William calling his brother, “Prince Ginger Pubes.”
“I told you not to call me that because you know I don’t have a comeback,” Harry replies, after which Middleton remarks, “Oh look, William, it’s the woman from ‘Suits.’”
Per Deadline, Harry shoots back, “She’s not on ‘Suits’ anymore. She doesn’t do anything anymore.”
King Charles (Larry Dean), Queen Camilla, and Mountbatten-Windsor then join the reunion, with the latter asking, “Did somebody say Pizza Express Woking?!”

“That’s Prince Andrew to you,” Mountbatten-Windsor replies when Charles addresses him without his former title.
The monarch then responds, “Andrew, enough is enough. You’re arrogant. You’re entitled. You represent an outdated institution that has had centuries of war, tax evasion, and slavery, and that’s all great, but you have also been accused of terrible things, and that’s where I draw the line.”
Andrew fires back, “I swear, I never believed for one moment that my actions would have consequences.”
The sketch pokes blatant fun at Harry and William’s ongoing feud — just as the show did last month with Harry and Meghan’s abrupt return to the UK in August with kids Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5. (The couple had moved to Southern California in 2020 after quitting the royal family.)
The couple are said to have moved to be nearer to Harry’s father, Charles — and hoped the proximity would enable their children to build relationships with the royal family.
It also takes aim at disgraced Mountbatten-Windsor — who resigned from his royal duties in 2019 due to his ties with the infamous sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and was later stripped of his prince title before being ordered to move out of Royal Lodge, his longtime residence.
The former prince was arrested on his 66th birthday in February for allegedly sending confidential trade documents to the late convicted sex offender.
The DOJ released in millions of records earlier this year, including a compromising photo of Mountbatten-Windsor holding himself up over an unidentified woman lying beneath him.
Mountbatten-Windsor filed for a judicial review earlier in October, questioning whether his arrest and the search warrants on his home were lawful.
