Irony Strikes as Meghan Markle Becomes the Punchline on UK Show

Meghan Markle found herself at the center of a comedic moment on the latest episode of the BBC's Have I Got News For You.

Renowned journalist Clive Myrie took the reins as the host for the evening, delivering a flurry of clever quips that included a playful nod to Meghan Markle's recent legal triumph.

Alongside Myrie were fellow guests Miles Chupp and Camilla Long, along with regular panelists Ian Hislop and Paul Merton.

The popular panel show, known for its satirical take on current events, delved into Meghan's recent court victory against the Mail on Sunday.

The segment kicked off with a photo of the Duchess of Sussex, prompting the teams to decipher the headline.

Camilla astutely pointed out that it was the case involving the Mail on Sunday, which Meghan had successfully won.

The Court of Appeal ruled in her favor, rebuffing Associated Newspaper's bid for an earlier trial.

Clive chimed in, acknowledging Camilla's observation and emphasizing that the judges, led by Lord Justice, sided with Meghan.

He underscored the personal and private nature of the letter in question, deeming it beyond the bounds of legitimate public interest.

This legal triumph allows Meghan to safeguard her privacy once more, marking a significant victory for the Duchess.

However, Meghan wasn't the sole target of jest during the show, as the panel also bantered about the emergence of the Omicron Covid variant.

Meanwhile, royal expert Katie Nicholl weighed in on the upcoming holiday season, revealing that Prince William and Kate Middleton intend to send Christmas gifts to Archie and Lilibet, despite tensions with Prince Harry and Meghan.

While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex plan to celebrate Christmas in California, William and Kate will partake in the festivities at Sandringham alongside the Queen.

Nicholl affirmed that the Cambridge couple remains committed to their holiday traditions, extending gifts to all members of the family, including their nieces and nephews.

Notably, William and Kate have yet to meet baby Lilibet, born earlier this year.

In a heartwarming revelation, Prince Harry shared a charming anecdote about his son Archie's Christmas gift from the Queen in 2020—a waffle maker.

The Duke recounted how Meghan had requested the kitchen appliance for Archie, who adored waking up to freshly made waffles.

As the royal family gears up for the Christmas celebrations, preparations are underway for a festive gathering at Sandringham estate.

Amidst the holiday cheer, speculations arose about Harry and Meghan's potential attendance at the family gathering.

However, insiders indicated that the couple's absence was expected, citing logistical considerations and the Queen's first Christmas without Prince Philip.

While hopes were high for a familial reunion, it appears that Harry and Meghan will not be joining the Queen this Christmas, underscoring the complexities of royal dynamics during the festive season.
