Meghan Markle has once again become the subject of mockery, after American comedian Chris Rock slammed her "racism claims" against the Royal Family, in a new stand-up show on Netflix.
58 year old Chris – who was famously on the receiving end of a slap from Will Smith at the 2022 Oscars – didn't hold back when it came to mocking Meghan, 41.
In the show, that was broadcast live on Netflix – a first for the streaming service – Chris questioned "complaining" Meghan's claims from her now infamous 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Meghan and her husband Prince Harry, 38, claimed that a senior member of the royal family had made a comment about "how dark" their son Archie's skin would be when he was born.
During his stand-up show, Chris, an African-American, threw shade at Meghan's claims, saying she was just dealing with "in-law s**t".
He said: “Like, who is this girl Meghan Markle?
“Seems like a nice lady – just complaining. Like didn’t she hit the light-skinned lottery?”
Referring to Meghan's comments to Oprah about the Royal Family, Chris jeered: “They’re so racist, they’re so racist," before continuing: "Some of that s*** she went through was not racism; it was just some in-law s***.
Chris continued: "Sometimes, it’s just some in-law s*** because she’s complaining, I’m like 'What the f*** is she talking about?'"
The comedian further mocked Meghan, as he said: "'Oprah, they’re so racist they wanted to know how brown the baby was going to be' – I’m like, 'That’s not racist, because even Black people want to know how brown the baby going to be.'"
Not stopping there, Chris continued to roast Meghan, as he said sarcastically: "I know her dilemma: Black girl trying to be accepted by her white in-laws. Oh, it’s hard. It’s so hard, it’s very hard– but it ain’t as hard as a white girl trying to be accepted by her Black in-laws. Now that s*** is really hard."
He then quipped: "Meghan Markle, I know the dilemma. I’m like, 'If you black and you wanted to be accepted by your white in-laws then you need to marry a Kardashian because they accept everybody.'"
Chris' mockery of Meghan comes just weeks after she and husband Prince Harry were the subject of a South Park episode, which had characters bearing an uncanny resemblance to them who embarked on a Worldwide Privacy Tour.
After reports emerged that Prince Harry and Meghan were planning on suing South Park creators, their spokesperson released a statement to insist they were not taking legal action.
They told PEOPLE: "It's all frankly nonsense. Totally baseless, boring reports."
