The British royal family was the subject of ridicule on the latest episode of BBC Saturday Night Live.
Comments about Meghan Markle, Prince William and Kate Middleton were not lacking in one of the show’s sketches.
Meghan Markle joke on SNL
In the Saturday Night Live episode, they made a funny comment about Prince William and Kate Middleton’s Christmas card.
The image of Princess Charlotte sitting in a chair surrounded by Prince William, Princess Kate and her brothers Louis and George caused a stir on social media due to an alleged Photoshop error that removed one of little Prince Louis’ fingers.

However, the alleged mistake was mocked on SNL when Colin Jost made a comment that was linked to Meghan Markle.
“A Christmas photo released by the royal family features a bad photoshop job where Prince Louis’ finger appears to be missing and—this is sweet—Meghan Markle said she has a finger they can use if they need it.”
They then showed a pixelated image of Meghan Markle where she appeared to be making an obscene gesture with her middle finger.

When you are dragged on SNL it’s the ultimate insult. SNL called out the Photoshop.
