In the world of entertainment, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have become the center of attention ever since they took a stand against other members of the royal family.
Their actions have not gone unnoticed, as they now find themselves being mocked on various TV shows for their alleged attention-seeking behavior.
Comedians, in particular, have found the couple to be an easy target, knowing that a large number of royal fans find it entertaining.
The latest episode of Saturday Night Live saw comedian Colin Jost taking a brutal dig at Meghan Markle.
The punchline came after a Christmas photo released by the royal family showed a bad photoshopping job where Prince Louis’ finger appeared to be missing.
Jost seized the opportunity to mock Meghan by saying, “I have a finger they can use.”
The audience erupted in laughter, forcing Jost himself to crack a grin.
This incident occurred just a week after the Prince and Princess of Wales posted a black and white photo on Instagram featuring themselves and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Louis.
The caption read, “A family Christmas card for 2023.”
However, several netizens quickly noticed the missing appendage and expressed their disappointment.
Some speculated that it was a result of poor photoshopping, while others questioned if Prince Louis was really missing a finger.
Contrary to the speculations, there was no photoshop fail or missing finger.
It is likely that the lighting conditions during the photoshoot created an illusion of a gap in Louis’ hand.
The young prince may have simply been bending his finger back.
Photographer Josh Schinner, who captured the portrait, shared his pleasure in photographing the royal family and mentioned how relaxed and enjoyable the sitting was.
While being mocked on SNL may not be ideal for Meghan, it does highlight her status as a subject of interest for comedy writers.
However, the portrayal of an angry and spiteful Meghan flipping off an innocent Christmas card with innocent children only reinforces negative perceptions of her character.
It contradicts her public image as a serene, compassionate individual focused on public service.
SNL sees through this facade, revealing a different side of Meghan.
It is worth noting that Colin Jost, the comedian who made the joke, is not only a megastar but also the husband of A-lister Scarlett Johansson.
This adds further weight to the impact of his remarks and the attention they garnered.
The incident serves as a reminder that Meghan’s actions and public image continue to be scrutinized, and she must navigate the complexities of being in the public eye.
