From Royalty to Ridicule: How Meghan & Harry’s Nicknames Sparked a Comedy Pile-On

Stephen Colbert Mocked Over Show Axing Due to Harry & Meghan Friendship

If you love royal family secrets, buckle up—this one’s a wild ride. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry just revealed the “deep” reason they call each other “M” and “H.” The internet’s response? Not exactly the royal treatment.

Nicknames or Narcissism?

Meghan and Harry’s confession about their couple nicknames was supposed to be sweet. Instead, it became late night fodder. Stephen Colbert roasted them for acting like “M and H” deserved a press conference. “Everyone’s life is hard,” he said, “but you were the prince of a country who dressed up as a Nazi and now you’re trying to come back as the Pope. Suck it.” Ouch.

Late Night Turns Savage

Colbert wasn’t alone. Jimmy Fallon mocked Meghan’s habit of repackaging pretzels—calling it the perfect metaphor for her lifestyle brand: style over substance, packaging over product. Jimmy Kimmel pointed out the irony of Harry fleeing “racism” in Britain… for America. Comedians everywhere saw through the drama and started swinging.

Colin Jost on SNL joked that Britain’s only demand for a new trade deal was for America to “keep these two.” Harry and Meghan’s constant complaints have made them unwelcome on both sides of the Atlantic. Even their Netflix deals became punchlines about getting paid millions for doing “absolutely nothing.”

Stand-Up & Satire: No Mercy

British comedians joined in. Simon Brodkin watched their documentary and said, “I hate them.” Jimmy Carr compared Harry to Kanye West: “He occasionally dresses as a Nazi and he f***s up.” The message was clear: the royal couple’s victim narrative doesn’t fly when their complaints sound absurdly privileged.

Podcasts & Cartoons Join the Roast

Andrew Schulz summed up America’s feelings: “We don’t give a f*** about the royal family.” Tim Dillon called their social commentary “garden variety nonsense.” South Park dedicated an entire episode to their “Worldwide Privacy Tour”—mocking their demand for attention while claiming to want privacy.

The Real Housewife Strategy

Meghan’s move from a stalling acting career to royalty looks less like a fairy tale and more like a Real Housewife power play. Marrying into money and status, then selling it as empowerment, rings hollow when every complaint is broadcast for profit.

Sharon Osbourne’s Advice: Real Talk Amid the Mockery

While most of Hollywood mocked, Sharon Osbourne offered something different: advice. She urged Meghan to reconcile with her father, sharing her own story of forgiveness despite real harm. Sharon’s point was simple—holding a grudge hurts your family, especially your kids.

The Bottom Line: Cultural Rejection

Every corner of entertainment—late night, stand-up, podcasts, cartoons—has reached the same conclusion: Harry and Meghan are insufferable. Their complaints about privilege, privacy, and family drama have worn thin. Even sympathetic voices are turning away.

But Sharon Osbourne’s advice stands out: maybe it’s time for Meghan to stop playing the victim and start healing her family. What do you think? Should Meghan reconcile with her father, or is the rift too deep? Sound off in the comments and subscribe for more royal drama—if you can handle it!
