They have not returned to royal duties, and King Charles formally reaffirmed their status as non-working members of the family days before the episode aired.<\/p>\n<h2>Harry Walks Into Balmoral With \u2018Daddy, I\u2019m Home\u2019<\/h2>\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Harry and Meghan Return Home | SNL UK\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-kzHYu6Gumc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>The cold open begins with Larry Dean\u2019s King Charles and Emma Sidi\u2019s Queen Camilla expecting a quiet stay at Balmoral before Harry and Meghan appear at the door. Current coverage of the sketch confirms Shep and Bamgboye made their first appearances as the Sussexes in the Season 2 opener. <a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2026\/09\/12\/royal-family\/snl-uk-roasts-prince-harry-meghan-markles-uk-return\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Page Six<\/a> reported that the scene immediately turns the couple\u2019s non-working status into the joke.<\/p>\n<p>Charles questions what they are doing at the castle and reminds them that it is for royals. Meghan eventually explains that they are moving back to Britain and need some help, which sends the fictional King directly toward the couple\u2019s post-royal finances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t tell me you spent all your Netflix money already,\u201d he asks. Shep\u2019s Harry replies that it was \u201c$60 million\u201d and wonders how long that amount was supposed to last before suggesting he would settle for \u201ca Duchy or two.\u201d The exchange turns Harry\u2019s real-life return into an exaggerated reversal of the decision he and Meghan made in 2020.<\/p>\n<h2>The $60 Million Netflix Line Is a Joke, Not a Confirmed Deal Figure<\/h2>\n<p>The streaming company has been closely tied to Harry and Meghan\u2019s post-royal career, but the $60 million figure should stay inside quotation marks as part of the sketch.<\/p>\n<p>Harry and Meghan signed their original multi-year Netflix production agreement in 2020. Contemporary reporting said the value was not disclosed, even though later entertainment coverage frequently attached estimates as high as $100 million to the partnership.<\/p>\n<p>The original exclusive structure has since changed. In August 2025, <a href=\"https:\/\/about.netflix.com\/en\/news\/archewell-productions-extends-creative-partnership-with-netflix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Netflix<\/a> announced a new multi-year first-look agreement with Archewell Productions covering film and television projects.<\/p>\n<p>Under that arrangement, Archewell can develop projects and give Netflix the first opportunity to consider them rather than operating under the same broad exclusive setup associated with the original deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Meghan\u2019s Kitchen Persona Becomes the Next Target<\/h2>\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"With love, Meghan | Official trailer | Netflix\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Vdro1p53LYQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>The sketch moves from streaming money to Meghan\u2019s lifestyle career almost as soon as she enters Balmoral. Bamgboye\u2019s Meghan gives Camilla a homemade block of ice and offers to share the recipe while describing herself as something of a \u201cwiz in the kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harry immediately undercuts her by saying she hires \u201cthe best cooks,\u201d aiming squarely at <em>With Love, Meghan<\/em>, the Netflix lifestyle series built around cooking, entertaining, gardening and crafts.<\/p>\n<p>The real series premiered in March 2025 and returned for a second season that August. Netflix describes the show as Meghan welcoming friends, chefs and other guests while sharing cooking, hosting and DIY ideas, and the program has remained part of the company\u2019s continuing relationship with Archewell.<\/p>\n<h2>The Sketch Reaches Back to the Oprah Interview<\/h2>\n<p>At one point Sidi\u2019s Camilla greets Meghan as \u201cbrown as ever,\u201d turning one of the most serious disputes surrounding Harry and Meghan\u2019s royal departure into a deliberately uncomfortable punchline.<\/p>\n<p>During the couple\u2019s 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan said there had been conversations and concerns before Archie\u2019s birth about how dark his skin might be. Harry later confirmed that a conversation had occurred but declined to identify the person involved.<\/p>\n<p>Buckingham Palace responded by saying the issues raised about race were concerning while adding that \u201csome recollections may vary.\u201d Prince William was later asked publicly about the allegations and replied that the royals were \u201cvery much not a racist family.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Harry and Meghan Really Are Back, but Not as Working Royals<\/h2>\n<p>Harry and Meghan returned to Britain with Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, in late August after six years primarily based in the United States. The family established a home base outside London and enrolled the children in school in Britain while retaining their California home. Their move has been described as an extended return rather than a restoration of their former palace life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/uk\/king-charles-reconfirms-harry-meghan-remain-non-working-royals-2026-09-07\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a> reported that a letter issued on his behalf to senior officials reaffirmed the arrangement established in 2020. Harry and Meghan remain non-working royals and conduct their commercial and charitable activities in a private capacity.<\/p>\n<h2>Harry and Meghan Weren\u2019t Even the Cold Open\u2019s Final Target<\/h2>\n<p>The Sussexes dominate the first part of the sketch, but the political target soon changes. George Fouracres enters as Prime Minister Andy Burnham after Harry complains that not wanting to be royal does not mean he wants to become a \u201cregular guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the Balmoral reunion, Burnham\u2019s new title is real. He became U.K. prime minister in July 2026, and the sketch pivots toward his public image and promises before allowing him to take over much of the remaining cold open.<\/p>\n<p>The episode launched the second series of the British adaptation, with Jeff Goldblum serving as host and CMAT as musical guest. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skygroup.sky\/en-gb\/article\/jeff-goldblum-announced-as-host-of-saturday-night-live-uk-series-2-premiere-joined-by-musical-guest-cmat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sky<\/a> confirmed that all 11 original cast members returned for Series 2, with Freddie Meredith joining the ensemble.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/prince-harry-and-meghan-markles-uk-return-gets-roasted-on-snl-uk-daddy-im-home\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have only recently returned to Britain, and British television has already given them a distinctly unfriendly welcome home.
