Filipino-American comedy star Joe Coy had the audience roaring with laughter at the Golden Globes as he hosted the annual awards ceremony.

The event celebrated the achievements of notable figures in the industry, including Robert Downey Jr. from Oppenheimer, Ali Wong from Beefstar, and Stephen Yeun, also from Beefstar.

Coy, known for his wit and humor, wasted no time in poking fun at Leonardo DiCaprio, Bradley Cooper, and Barry Keoghan.

However, it was his quip about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that stole the show.

In a moment of comedic brilliance, Coy highlighted that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would still be receiving millions of dollars for essentially doing nothing, thanks to their deal with Netflix.

“I have a deal to chill,” Coy playfully announced to the amused crowd.

The cameras even caught Ted Sarandos, the CEO of Netflix, sharing a laugh after the joke.

The room erupted in laughter, with even the Netflix CEO finding amusement in Coy’s Sussex Grifter joke.

It was clear that Harry and Meghan were the subject of ridicule.

Following Coy’s remarks, people took to social media to share their thoughts on the host’s comedic take.

One person tweeted, “So Harry and Meghan just got called out at the Golden Globes by comedian Joe Coy.

They got paid multi-millions for doing absolutely nothing.

The audience laughed, and even the Netflix CEO seemed to find it amusing.”

Another Twitter user pointed out that several cast members from the TV show Suits, in which Meghan Markle starred, were present in the audience.

Despite this, Coy proceeded with his Prince Harry and Meghan Markle joke, sparking further discussion online.

The timing of Coy’s jokes coincided with the release of the Netflix documentary, “Harry and Meghan,” which premiered in December 2022.

The documentary received mixed reviews and featured the couple discussing their decision to step back as working members of the royal family.

These jokes come after a challenging year for the former royals, both professionally and personally, in 2023.

While Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” became a best-seller, their other ventures did not fare as well.

After signing a lucrative three-year deal with Spotify worth £18 million, it was announced less than a year later that their podcast, “Archetypes,” had been dropped.

The couple had initially signed the deal to host and produce multiple podcasts, but their show failed to secure a second series.

This led Spotify’s head of podcast innovation and monetization, Bill Simmons, to label them as “grifters.”

On December 12th, 2023, it was revealed that the couple’s charity, Archwell, experienced a significant drop in donations, losing nearly £10 million in a year.

The Sussexes released a promotional film showcasing their charitable work for the year, but it was overshadowed by this dramatic loss.

In 2022, their donations amounted to just over £1.6 million, a staggering decrease of £8.7 million compared to the previous year’s £10.3 million.

As a new year begins, critics hope that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will adopt a new approach.

They face the challenge of finding fresh perspectives and avoiding repetitive criticisms of their own family.

“Moving forward, the pair has decided to refrain from speaking negatively about the monarchy,” shared royal commentator Michael Cole.

“Harry and Meghan want to take a different direction.

They have expressed what they needed to say regarding the royals, and now they are moving on.”

Despite a perceived snub from the entertainment industry, the couple believes they are prioritizing quality over quantity and are selective in the opportunities they pursue.

In the end, Coy’s lighthearted jab at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at the Golden Globes served as a reminder of the couple’s recent challenges and the ongoing public scrutiny surrounding their endeavors.
