Queen Camilla, as played by Emma Sidi, was rather warmer in her reception. “Hello, sweet Harry. And beautiful Meghan, as brown as ever,” she exclaimed.

The latter remark was an apparent reference to the Duke and Duchess’ interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which they revealed that an unnamed member of the royal family had concerns about how dark their unborn son Archie’s skin might be.

Markle, who has hosted two seasons of an unsuccessful Netflix lifestyle series, responded: “Hey Step Queen. I brought you a gift … It’s ice. I made it myself. I can give you the recipe.”

The reunion was interrupted by new UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham (George Fouracres), who was wearing his signature yellow Manchester badge and offered to buy the nation a beer.

“I’m the new PM, and I’m nothing like the last one. Harry, Megan, I’m here to tell you that just because you’re normal folk doesn’t mean your life has to be crap. That is the Burnham promise,” he said.

SNL UK‘s Season 2 premiere was hosted by Jeff Goldblum, who opened with a musical number from the show’s London studio.
