SNL UK Takes a Sharp Dig at Former Prince Andrew over His Links to Jeffrey Epstein in Bold Cold Open

Saturday Night Live UK opened its second episode with a sketch depicting MI5 agents tasking Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with a 29-year plan to improve the public image of King Charles III.
Set in 1997 shortly after the death of Princess Diana, the sketch imagines agents devising a strategy to increase the future monarch's popularity by intentionally undermining the public reputation of those around him.
Andrew questioned the plan's requirement to befriend convicted "notorious paedophile" Jeffrey Epstein, while agents offered him the code word "Pizza Express Woking" to use if overwhelmed.
Northern Irish actor Jamie Dornan hosted the 75-minute episode, featuring cast members Jack Shep, who portrayed the royal, and Emma Sidi as Sarah Ferguson.
The show airs Saturdays at 10 p.m. GMT on Sky and Now TV, with actor Riz Ahmed scheduled to host the next episode on April 4.
