Prince Harry<\/a> and Meghan Markle were\u00a0mocked on Saturday Night Live<\/a> yesterday as host Colin Jost made a brutal joke about the couple.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex<\/a> appeared happier than ever this weekend as they attended a\u00a0Beyonc\u00e9<\/a>\u00a0concert to see the singer’s Cowboy Carter tour in Los Angeles<\/a> – with Meghan posting loved-up snaps of the pair.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But they were put at the centre of an SNL quip last night as\u00a0Jost delivered a breakdown of the latest major news stories.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the show, the presenter addressed the current\u00a0UK-US trade deal between Sir Keir Starmer<\/a> and\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>, in which he said:\u00a0‘President Trump also announced a new trade deal with the UK that will reopen British markets for American companies.<\/p>\n

‘All that Britain demands in return is that we keep these two,’ he added as a photo of Harry and Meghan appeared on the screen behind him.<\/p>\n

The joke comes after Trump announced an agreement with the UK, which Sir Keir attended via phone call to the White House<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Duke and Duchess danced the night away this weekend at the fifth night of Beyonc\u00e9’s tour in California.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pair were among thousands of fans who crowded into the SoFi Stadium on Friday as the artist performed her last show in LA before heading to Chicago.<\/p>\n

Meghan Markle shared a series of cosied up snaps of her and Prince Harry enjoying Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter tour this weekend\u00a0<\/p>\n

Afterwards, Beyonc\u00e9 shared a photograph of the royals on her website, capturing the grinning couple as they cosied up inside the luxurious VIP lounge to watch the Crazy in Love singer perform.<\/p>\n

The Duchess of Sussex also took to her own Instagram, sharing a glimpse of her and\u00a0 Harry’s night on the town among the crowds of adoring fans, with the Duke planting a kiss on her cheek during the show.<\/p>\n

Meghan shared a series of smiley snaps of herself, Harry and friends, sporting cowboy hats, in keeping with the tour’s theme, as they swayed to various hits from the Cowboy Carter album.<\/p>\n

Another short video showed the Duchess appear emotional while she cheers on the superstar songstress as she sings her hit song 16 carriages, while sitting on a floating American-style car.<\/p>\n

Alongside the series of jubilant photos, she penned: ‘About last night… Thank you Beyonce and team for an amazing concert (and a very fun date night) All love.’<\/p>\n

\"'All <\/p>\n

‘All that Britain demands in return is that we keep these two,’ Jost joked on the show\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fans also snuck footage of Prince Harry from nearby seats, with the Duke shuffling around as his wife danced in front of him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following Beyonce’s cowboy dress code, Meghan sported a tight denim dress, while Harry wore a dark green cowboy hat with ‘My Love’, Lili and Archie inscribed inside alongside a US and UK flag.<\/p>\n

She wore her hair up for the night, and was later spotted wearing her husband’s hat as the concert amped up with a remixed rendition of Texas Hold ‘Em.<\/p>\n

The Halo singer – who kicked off her tour just over year and a half after she wrapped up her whirlwind Renaissance World Tour – has welcomed Harry and Meghan to her shows previously.<\/p>\n

In 2023, the royals attended the Renaissance World Tour, also at the SoFi Stadium, where Prince Harry once again appeared less than impressed – and more interested in his phone.<\/p>\n
