Gather around, because the gossip is scorching hot. Imagine this: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, usually so meticulous about their public image, got completely called out live on national television.
And not by just anyone—Scarlett Johansson delivered the blow during her monologue on Saturday Night Live. This wasn’t your typical light-hearted roast; it was a fierce cultural takedown that left the Duke and Duchess of Sussex not just embarrassed but reportedly furious.
Scarlett held nothing back. She slammed them for being obsessed with fame, constantly portraying themselves as victims, and turning their personal journey into what feels like an endless saga of trauma. She even joked about Meghan’s multi-season Netflix series focused on her royal experience, making it sound like her wedding came with a drama box set. The audience? Absolutely losing it. The laughter was deafening, and it sent a clear message: people are growing tired of the couple’s narrative of perpetual grievance.
Behind the scenes, there were reports that Meghan’s team attempted to pre-approve the monologue content before it aired. NBC refused, letting the entire segment go out unfiltered. That move alone speaks volumes—Hollywood seems to be distancing itself from the Sussexes’ story. One of the sharpest jabs came when Scarlett mocked Archewell, the couple’s humanitarian foundation, suggesting it’s more of a PR rehab center than a real charity. Her quip that it’s “where egos go to detox, only to return stronger” hit uncomfortably close to the truth for many.
But this wasn't just about laughs. According to insiders, Meghan was livid backstage, calling the monologue disgusting and sexist. Still, what Scarlett delivered was classic satire grounded in public sentiment. The polished, misunderstood image the couple has tried to maintain is beginning to fracture, and it’s clear Hollywood no longer sees them as untouchable. Some entertainment insiders are even saying the couple’s presence is starting to hurt projects—an unofficial label of “box office poison.”
One of the standout moments was Scarlett dragging Harry for enjoying the benefits of living in California while publicly trashing his family, dodging taxes, and still avoiding U.S. citizenship. It highlighted a glaring contradiction: wanting all the perks of American life without taking on any of the responsibilities. That burn was brutal—and impossible to ignore.
Scarlett Johansson’s monologue didn’t just deliver laughs; it delivered a wake-up call. The carefully constructed PR machine that once shielded Meghan and Harry is cracking, and for once, they’re not in charge of the narrative. The public, and Hollywood especially, have stopped laughing with them—and started laughing at them. If the Sussexes believed their royal-to-Hollywood transition guaranteed protection, this was the cold reality check. What once looked like a glamorous new chapter is now starting to feel like a cautionary tale—and the punchline is theirs.
