HARRY AND MEGHAN’S SEARCH FOR STARDOM CONTINUES… AND SPITTING IMAGE DOESN’T HOLD BACK
It seems no royal headline is safe from scrutiny—or satire—these days, and Spitting Image has once again turned its sharp, unforgiving gaze on Harry and Meghan. In the latest uproarious sketch, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are caricatured at their most ambitious, their quest for fame exaggerated to comic perfection. And while the world laughs, it also sparks questions: just how much of this is performance, and how much is genuine royal rebellion?
The sketch opens with the couple plotting their next media move, drinks in hand, glances darting toward the ever-watchful cameras. Meghan’s gestures are the star of the show. Her infamous flicks of the wrist, those subtle waves that have caused so many online debates, are magnified to absurdity. Each movement—whether a toss of her hair or a deliberate pointing finger—is exaggerated, giving viewers a front-row seat to the theatre of royal ambition. Meanwhile, Harry is portrayed as the reluctant sidekick, constantly caught between old royal duties and the new life of media attention he and Meghan have carved out across the pond.
What’s particularly striking—and undeniably funny—is how the show focuses on the tiniest, most humanizing details. Meghan’s gestures, which might seem mundane in real life, are transformed into a comedic symbol of the couple’s ongoing struggle with public perception. And it’s not just the hand motions: the sketch exaggerates their expressions, their reactions to headlines, and even the way they interact with their children, all with a knowing wink to audiences who have followed the Sussex story for years.
Social media reaction has been immediate and intense. Fans of the royals have flooded Twitter with laughs, memes, and debates, while critics see it as a sharp commentary on how Harry and Meghan have embraced celebrity culture. “It’s brilliant,” one viewer wrote. “They capture every little tick and move we’ve been dissecting for years!” Another commented: “It’s funny, but also a little scary how accurate it feels.”
Spitting Image has always thrived on turning public figures into symbols of wider societal obsession—and in this sketch, the Sussexes are the perfect targets. It’s a biting reminder of just how closely the world watches every royal gesture, every carefully staged photo, and every move in the ongoing saga of Harry and Meghan’s search for relevance, attention, and, of course, stardom.
Whether you’re a fan or a critic, one thing is clear: the Sussexes continue to dominate headlines, inspire satire, and provoke heated conversation. And thanks to Spitting Image, even the smallest flick of a wrist or wink of an eye becomes a symbol of a couple constantly in the spotlight—and constantly under scrutiny.
