## Season two picks a target
The first episode of "Saturday Night Live U.K." Season 2 opened by mocking Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's heavily covered return to England.
## A weekend at Balmoral
The cold open found Larry Dean's King Charles and Emma Sidi's Queen Camilla unwinding at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, the royals at their most off duty.
## Camilla gets the first laugh
Sidi's Camilla set the tone early, turning a royal break in Scotland into a joke about how little the job actually asks of them.

## The Netflix money line
The sketch's sharpest jab was aimed at the Sussexes' streaming deal, the punchline the show put in its own headline.

> Don't tell me you've spent all your Netflix money already!
## Weekend Update joins in
The same night, Weekend Update went after Trump's new hair. Paddy Young told the audience his best punchline had been cut by the show's legal team.
