\n\tFor the first-ever edition of \u201cSNL<\/a> U.K.\u2019s\u201d Weekend Update, one person was given the royal treatment: former Prince Andrew.<\/p>\n

\n\tHosts Ania Magliano and Paddy Young did not hold back as they roasted the disgraced royal, who was arrested by the U.K. police<\/a> in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office after the release of the Epstein files. Prior to that, he was also stripped of his royal title and ordered to leave his Windsor home.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cComing up on Weekend Update: pedophilia. But first, war!\u201d Magliano said as the segment kicked off, eliciting laughter from the live audience.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter several Iran War-related punchlines and Al Nash guesting as a power-hungry Captain Birdseye, the focus was back on the former prince. \u201cRenovations to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor\u2019s new home, Marsh Farm, have been taking place over the last month, including the installation of Sky TV. So, if you\u2019re watching this Andrew, hello! You\u2019re not gonna like this next bit. Also, I\u2019m older than I look,\u201d Magliano joked, adding: \u201cAndrew\u2019s new residence, Marsh Farm, is of course named after the nearby marsh where his body will be found.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNext, it was Young\u2019s turn. \u201cIt was reported this week that the police investigation into Andrew is set to widen,\u201d he said. \u201cThe big question now is, if Andrew is charged, found guilty and put in prison, will he be able to keep his mouth shut? I hope not, said his cellmate\u2019s penis.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAnother winning joke took on the U.K.\u2019s other royal family: the Beckhams. \u201cFeuding father and son David and Brooklyn Beckham narrowly missed each other whilst at the same Beverly Hills hotel,\u201d Young began. \u201cThe feud began when Victoria was, quote, \u2018inappropriately\u2019 close with her son at his wedding, and escalated after Brooklyn accidentally yelled out his wife\u2019s name during sex with his mum.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the first-ever edition of \u201cSNL U.K.\u2019s\u201d Weekend Update, one person was given the royal treatment: former Prince…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":552387,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,75,28371,34566,214375],"class_list":["post-552386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-saturday-night-live","tag-snl","tag-snl-u-k"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=552386"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552386\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/552387"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=552386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=552386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=552386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
