BBC comedy depicts Meghan Markle as ‘trailer trash’ American who threatens to fight Kate Middleton

The spoof show will air tomorrow night

A new BBC Two comedy set to air tomorrow night has depicted Meghan Markle as a ‘trailer trash’ American.

The spoof show, titled Tonight With Vladimir Putin, also sees Meghan’s caricature threaten to fight sister-in-law Kate Middleton.

The show features 3D digital caricatures of many well-known figures. Meghan’s caricature is portrayed by actress and writer Gbemisola Ikunelo.

In the segment titled Meghan Markle’s Royal Sparkle, the fictitious character takes questions from the audience.

“What makes you angry?” one asks, to which the character shares a story about Kate using her hairbrush.

“I say no because that’s gross and then I leave my room and come back and I can tell she’s used my hairbrush anyway because it’s covered in skanky hair that’s going grey and I say, ‘Stay the [expletive] out of my trailer or I’ll cut you, Kate,'” she replies.

The show also takes a swipe at Meghan’s relationship with her dad Thomas Markle.

Another person from the audience quizzes, “I’d just like to know: how’s your dad?”

Meghan replies, “Great question. Next.”

While a third scene shows the Duchess getting angry when asked about Prince Harry.

“I’m just wondering why you’re so interested there, missy? I mean, what’s that about?

“Do you have a problem with me and Harry? Are you trying to lay claim to my man?”

She adds: “We can go right now, b***h, you and me.”

Speaking about the creation, Ikunelo said she wanted to portray Meghan in a completely opposite light.

“Anybody who has seen anything of Meghan Markle in public will know that she seems incredibly agreeable and friendly, always smiling,” she told The Telegraph.

“So I was interested in finding humour in the ridiculous… What if somebody who seems super lovely in public actually has a really mean streak? What would that look like?

“So I introduced an over-the-top, shouty, hill-billy drawl.”

A BBC spokesperson said: “Viewers will clearly recognise this performance as a spoof and highly satirical, within the context of a programme which lampoons a wide range of public figures and the public’s perception of them.”
