Royal Scheme: A Hilarious 'Saturday Night Live U.K.' Sketch on Prince Andrew and Prince Charles
A comedic sketch on "Saturday Night Live U.K." humorously portrayed a fictional scenario where Prince Andrew's association with Jeffrey Epstein was part of a long-term plan to boost Prince Charles' image. In the skit, set in 1997 after Princess Diana's death, MI5 agents devise a 29-year plan to make Charles more likable by tarnishing the reputations of those around him. Jack Shep, who played Princess Diana in the previous episode, took on the role of Prince Andrew in this episode. The agents, played by Celeste Dring and Hammed Animashaun, present Andrew with a detailed plan that includes befriending Epstein. Other characters, portrayed by Larry Dean and Emma Sidi, are also recruited to assist in the scheme. The sketch humorously references Andrew's infamous alibi, "Pizza Express, Woking," and ends with Andrew looking forward to the future when he can redeem himself on live television.
