Meghan Markle Mocked on SNL for $19 an Hour Coronation Offer

Meghan Markle found herself at the center of a comedic jab once again, this time courtesy of the popular US comedy show, Saturday Night Live.

Comedian Michael Che took a humorous swipe at the Duchess, suggesting she was being enticed with a modest $19 hourly wage to grace King Charles's coronation.

The audience erupted in laughter as a graphic depicting Meghan as a maid flashed on screen behind Che.

The segment quickly captured the attention of viewers, who found the satire quite amusing.

During the SNL episode on Saturday night, Che quipped about Meghan's purported invitation to the royal event, stating, “It was reported that the organizers of King Charles's coronation have officially invited Meghan Markle and this is nice, at a starting salary of $19 an hour.”

The studio audience's reaction was a mix of shock and amusement, mirroring the sentiments of viewers watching from home.

Social media platforms buzzed with reactions, with Twitter user Vianna Flores expressing, “This is hilarious,” while others flooded the comments section with cry-laughing emojis and applause.

However, not everyone was entertained by the sketch.

Meghan's supporters took to Twitter to denounce the segment as cruel and offensive.

One disgruntled viewer criticized Michael Che, claiming his joke was distasteful and not funny at all.

The backlash continued, with another individual accusing Che of promoting misogyny under the guise of humor.

Despite the mixed reception, the SNL segment succeeded in stirring up conversations online.

In a twist of events, reports emerged that Meghan and Prince Harry's children, Archie and Lilibet, were excluded from the guest list for King Charles's coronation.

While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex received invitations, it remains uncertain if their young offspring will be included in the festivities.

Sources close to the royal family hinted at tensions within the monarchy, indicating that some members are reluctant to engage with Harry and Meghan.

Speculations abound regarding the Sussexes' attendance at the coronation, with insiders suggesting various scenarios, including Prince Harry attending solo or opting out of the event entirely.

Despite the uncertainties, a confidant of the Duke emphasized Harry's acknowledgment of the significance of the occasion for his father, King Charles.

As discussions unfold surrounding the royal family dynamics, the spotlight remains on Meghan Markle and her evolving relationship with the British monarchy.
