Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have found themselves at the center of yet another comedic jab, this time on the popular TV show Saturday Night Live.
The couple, known for their high-profile endeavors that often miss the mark, have become fodder for entertainment as their attempts fail to garner the admiration they seek.
Meghan was the subject of ridicule in a recent skit on SNL that parodied the spin-off of the hit series “Suits.”
The spin-off, set in Los Angeles and focusing on Meghan Markle’s character navigating a legal career while supporting an unemployed immigrant, received a pilot order from NBC this week.
During the skit, SNL cast member Colin Jost humorously poked fun at Prince Harry, highlighting the shift in public perception where the couple has transitioned from being taken seriously to becoming easy targets for jokes in the US.
Despite their efforts to maintain an air of sophistication, Harry and Meghan’s philanthropic ventures and charitable activities have failed to resonate with audiences, leading to a significant decline in their credibility.
The spotlight now shines on Harry as the punchline, with his endeavors being equated to a lack of visible impact, especially in the eyes of the American public.
The road to redemption for the couple appears steep, requiring years of dedicated effort and exceptional public relations work to rebuild their tarnished reputation.
However, the likelihood of their success remains uncertain as they continue to face mounting criticism and skepticism.
Harry’s aspirations of being taken more seriously post-royalty have backfired, resulting in increased mockery and scrutiny.
Rumors had circulated that Harry and Meghan were slated to host Saturday Night Live, but like many of their other plans, this too failed to materialize.
The incident raises questions about Meghan’s connections in the entertainment industry, with notable figures like Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey refraining from casting her in their projects or extending invitations to premieres, despite claims of support.
Criticism of the couple’s Hollywood deals intensified as Suits co-stars dismissed speculations of Meghan’s involvement in a potential reboot of the series.
The pilot for the new series, set in the same universe as the original legal drama, is in the works under the direction of Suits creator Aaron Korsh.
The show promises a fresh cast and a gripping narrative that delves into the complexities of legal representation and personal relationships.
The official tagline for the series hints at a compelling storyline centered around Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor reinventing himself in the cutthroat world of Los Angeles law.
As Ted navigates a crisis within his firm and confronts past demons, viewers can expect a rollercoaster of personal and professional challenges that test loyalties and unravel long-buried secrets.
Scheduled to commence production in Vancouver, Canada, under the guidance of director Victoria Mahoney, the show is poised to offer a captivating blend of drama and intrigue.
If the pilot receives the green light for a full series, Suits L.A. could potentially grace screens in the upcoming 2024-2025 season.
Alongside Korsh, former Suits executive producers are on board to ensure the success of this new venture in the Suits universe.
