Emma Stone, the renowned Oscar-winning actress and self-proclaimed British monarchy enthusiast, didn’t hold back during her recent hosting gig on Saturday Night Live.
In a hilarious sketch titled “The Real Housewives of Buckingham Palace,” Stone took aim at Meghan Markle, dubbing her the “bogus duchess.”
The audacity!
Stone’s portrayal of Meghan Markle painted her as a phony and fame chaser who hitched her wagon to Prince Harry for the ultimate cash and glory ride.
In the parody of the popular reality show, Stone played the role of Meghan, while Kate McKinnon portrayed Catherine, the Princess of Wales.
Cecily Strong played Camilla Parker Bowles, Aidy Bryant took on the role of Princess Anne, and Bowen Yang portrayed Prince Andrew.
The sketch was a royal showdown of petty fights, gossip, and drama that would put any reality TV series to shame.
Stone’s Markle introduced herself as Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, confidently stating, “But you can call me Princess Meghan because I’m a princess no matter what anyone says.”
She flaunted her enormous diamond ring, claiming it had its own gravitational pull, just like herself.
Stone’s Markle boasted about her supposed global popularity and influence, dropping names like Oprah, Beyonce, and Barack Obama as her close friends.
She boldly declared that she had single-handedly solved world hunger, climate change, and racism.
“You’re welcome, world,” she said with a smirk.
Not content with just mocking Meghan, Stone also took jabs at Catherine, describing her as boring and making a rave look like a tea party.
She imitated Catherine’s accent and mannerisms, portraying her as a robotic, uptight, and overly proper plain Jane who simply does the queen’s bidding.
However, the highlight of the sketch came when McKinnon’s Catherine confronted Stone’s Markle, delivering a scathing takedown.
“Meghan, you are a fake princess who doesn’t belong in this family,” she declared.
“You are a disgrace to the crown and the country.
You are a selfish, spoiled, manipulative woman who only cares about yourself.
You have no respect for the traditions, values, and history of this monarchy.
You are a fraud and a liar who has deceived Harry and the public.
You are not a real princess.
You are a joke.”
The sketch concluded with Stone’s Markle and McKinnon’s Catherine engaging in a physical altercation, while the other royal ladies cheered them on.
The audience erupted in laughter and applause, and online, royal fans expressed their appreciation for Stone’s ruthless humor and spot-on portrayal.
Social media platforms were flooded with comments praising Emma Stone for exposing Meghan Markle as a fake princess and celebrating her wit and comedic genius.
Some even hailed Stone as a legend and their hero for giving Meghan Markle the royal roast she deserved.
In the world of Saturday Night Live, Emma Stone wasn’t just a host; she was a queen who fearlessly delivered punches and left the audience in stitches.
