Saturday Night Live UK has found its favorite punching bag. The show’s cold open featured a young Prince Andrew in a secret MI5 operation. The punchline? A 29-year plan to make King Charles look likeable by comparison.

The sketch was a masterclass in high-society mockery. The code word for the operation was Pizza Express Woking. It is a devastating callback to the most embarrassing alibi in royal history. The audience was in stitches as the disgraced Duke was portrayed as a bumbling tool of the state.

This is the new currency of British comedy. The institutional rot of the royal family is now prime-time entertainment. Even the Mandelson-Epstein files are getting the parody treatment. Why feel bad for the elite when you can laugh at their spectacular downfall?

The show is a hit because it knows the truth. The ruling class is just a long-running soap opera. We are just here for the plot twists and the expensive set design.
