Meghan Markle Mocked on Aussie Comedy Show: Tom Gleisner and Guests Take Jabs
Meghan Markle found herself at the receiving end of ridicule on the Australian comedy program Have You Been Paying Attention, where she was mercilessly mocked by the panel.
The incident resurfaced as an old clip went viral, showcasing comedians Sam Peng and Tim McDonald taking jabs at Meghan following her revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Quizmaster Tom Gleisner prompted the panel to identify the first TV show Meghan appeared on post the interview, leading to a series of comedic responses.
Tim McDonald was quick to chime in with a witty remark, suggesting “Better Homewreckers and Gardens,” in reference to the popular Australian show Better Homes and Gardens.
Following suit, Sam Peng humorously suggested “Family Feud,” which sparked laughter among the comedians before Tom Gleisner clarified that Meghan actually appeared on a fundraiser program called Vax Live.
The mockery extended beyond the comedy show, with Nine's Today show host Karl Stefanovic delivering a harsh critique of Prince Harry's recent interview on the Armchair Expert podcast.
Stefanovic's comments came amidst a segment featuring photos from Harry's youth, contrasting his party-loving persona with his more reserved brother, Prince William.
In another episode of the show, comedians Luke McGregor and Ed Cavalli joined in on the jesting directed at Meghan and Harry.
The banter coincided with the couple's inclusion in Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people, prompting further satirical remarks from the panel.
The dynamic of poking fun at the royal couple continued as Quizmaster Tom Gleisner quizzed the panel on Meghan and Harry's magazine cover appearance.
The lighthearted exchange featured humorous guesses such as “PC Gaming” and “Better Homes and Gold Diggers,” showcasing the ongoing trend of jesting at the expense of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
As the holiday season approaches, tensions within the royal family seem to be escalating, particularly concerning Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's next moves.
King Charles reportedly harbors apprehensions about communicating with the couple, fearing potential leaks of their conversations.
The monarch's concerns stem from the Sussexes' absence from royal Christmas gatherings since 2018, with plans for a reunion this year reportedly thwarted.
Despite past attempts to disrupt royal traditions through media ventures, such as releasing a Netflix series, the Sussexes' actions have inadvertently boosted the royal family's popularity.
The lingering impact of Meghan's gestures and Harry's publications serves as a reminder of the ongoing scrutiny and jest surrounding the couple, both within and outside royal circles.
