Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s recent much-publicized return to England was mocked in the cold open of the first episode of “Saturday Night Live U.K.” Season 2.

The cold open began with Larry Dean as King Charles II and Emma Sidi as Queen Camilla relaxing at Balmoral Castle in Scotland (“I do love our weekends away. No responsibilities, just like every other day,” says Camilla.)

They are then interrupted by the arrival of Harry (Jack Shep) and Meghan (Ayoade Bamgboye). With much of the skit consisting of them being in a close embrace, there were countless one-liners making fun of their decision to return to the U.K.

“What do you two want?” asked Charles. “Don’t tell me you’ve spent that Netflix money already.”

“Daddy, it was $16 million,” responded Harry. “How long was it supposed to last?”

“What a waste you’ve become, you’re lucky your father is not around to see this,” he responded.

Meghan’s lifestyle brands were also riffed on, with her presenting an ice tray to Camilla. “I made it myself,” she said.

George Fouracres, who received acclaim for his acute portrayal of former British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, also made his first appearance as Prime Minister Andy Burnham. 

“I’m the new PM. And I’m nothing like the last one,” he said. Making fun of Burnham’s raft of policies over the summer, the skit ended up with him saying:  “I will buy everybody a pint, because I want you to like me. I need you to like me.”

The first episode of “SNL U.K.” was hosted by Jeff Goldblum.
