Prince Harry was brutally mocked on the latest episode of Spitting Image, as the satirical show took aim at the Duke’s latest meeting with his father, King Charles. Spitting Image was one of the most-watched shows in Britain in the 1980s and is now back with a new series on YouTube called The Rest Is Bull****.
In its second episode, which aired on Friday night, the Duke of Sussex’s balding puppet played a key role as it hosted the episode with Paddington Bear and saw some recent events from his life under fire. In one segment, the Duke’s recent meeting with the King is discussed.
The pair met earlier this month at Clarence House during Harry’s four-day visit to the UK.
Puppet Harry is heard saying: “This week, I saw my father after the longest time. It was mega. We spent almost 50 minutes together and didn’t know where to start.”
The scene then cuts to the puppets of Harry and the King sitting awkwardly in silence, with only the sound of the clock ticking being heard in the background. After the clock chimes, the Duke gets up and tells his father: “Go to go. Ciao, dad.”
At the beginning of the episode, Harry introduces himself as “just a regular fifth in line to the throne.”
He then says while sitting next to Paddington Bear: “On the show, Pads and I like to talk about the issues of the day that affect us all, like negotiating a third Netflix series, as well as offering our life hacks.”
The Duke’s puppet then proceeds to talk about immigration: “Being an immigrant isn’t easy. I know, I emigrated to America, and fitting in is hard. In the US, they call lifts elevators and over there.”
The puppet then satirises the Duke’s security battle, “revealing” the reason the Duke made the move. It says: “My family had to flee Britain because the intrusive UK media weren’t paying as much as the intrusive US media.”
Elsewhere, the creators mock Meghan Markle, who introduces herself as “I’m Meghan Sussex and I am a good person.
“I am meeting another good person today, Ariana Grande.”
The skit makes fun of Meghan Markle‘s Netflix show, With Love Meghan, where she dishes out various meals, hosting tips and tricks to her celebrity friends.
