Will Ferrell’s Hilarious Roast Leaves Meghan Markle Red-Faced at Despicable Me 4 Premiere

The premiere of Despicable Me 4 at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City turned into an unforgettable night, but not for the reasons one might expect.

Instead of a joyous celebration of family-friendly entertainment, the event became a stage for comedian Will Ferrell to deliver a comedic blow that left Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, utterly humiliated.

As she stepped onto the red carpet, Markle appeared to have arrived uninvited.

Eyewitnesses noted how out of place she looked, awkwardly posing for photos while surrounded by the film's stars and producers.

Her discomfort was palpable, and it didn't take long for the situation to escalate into a comedic spectacle.

Enter Will Ferrell, who, channeling his iconic Ron Burgundy persona from Anchorman, approached Markle with a playful grin.

He didn't hold back, asking her directly, “Excuse me, ma'am, but who invited you here?” The audience erupted in laughter as he quipped, “Last time I checked, this was the Despicable Me 4 premiere, not the Duchess of Sussex's personal coronation.”

Markle's face flushed red with embarrassment as she attempted to respond.

Ferrell wasn't done, though.

He continued to roast her, saying, “Seriously, do you think just because you married into royalty you can crash any event you want?

Last time I checked, you're no longer a working royal.

This is our night to shine, not yours.”

Trying to defend herself, Markle claimed she was there to support a friend's daughter, one of the film's young stars.

But Ferrell dismissed her excuse with a scoff, stating, “Oh please, we all know you're just here for the attention.

Sorry to break it to you, but no one cares about your royal drama anymore.

This is about the minions, not the Markle.”

With each jab, the crowd grew more animated, cheering Ferrell on as he continued his playful yet cutting commentary.

“You know, it's actually kind of pathetic how desperately you're clinging to your 15 minutes of fame.

Maybe it's time to hang up the tiara and let the real stars have their moment,” he remarked.

By now, Markle seemed to shrink under the weight of Ferrell's words.

The confident duchess appeared to fade into the background, wishing she could vanish entirely.

The atmosphere was electric, filled with laughter and applause as Ferrell kept the comedic momentum going.

Finally, Ferrell delivered his closing line: “Anyway, I think it's time for you to go.

I heard they're serving tea and crumpets in the lobby.

Why don't you go enjoy that instead of trying to steal the spotlight here?” The audience responded with thunderous applause as Markle, her dignity thoroughly shredded, hurried off the red carpet.

Ferrell basked in the attention, soaking up the cheers and laughter from the delighted crowd.

“Did you really think you could just crash our party and we weren't going to call you out on it?” he joked.

“This is Hollywood, baby.

We don't take kindly to party crashers, especially not wannabe royals.”

As the premiere continued without Markle, social media lit up with reactions to Ferrell's epic takedown.

Fans praised the comedian for his boldness and humor, with one Twitter user declaring him a national treasure.

Another chimed in, noting that Markle would likely never recover from such a public humiliation.

The incident served as a stark reminder to Markle: you don't mess with the comedic genius of Will Ferrell.

That night, she learned a lesson that's bound to linger—especially in the world of celebrity where attention is currency.
