In a recent stand-up gig, comedian Simon Brodkin, formerly known as Lee Nelson, unleashed a brutal attack on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, urging them to “get lost from the UK.” The scathing remarks followed Brodkin’s performance for Prince William and Princess Kate at the Royal Variety show just weeks prior.
During the stand-up, Brodkin targeted Prince Harry, poking fun at his Halloween party antics with Meghan Markle. He ridiculed the couple’s reference to the night they “pulled the pin on a fun grenade,” describing the moment as cringeworthy. Brodkin admitted that he initially wanted to like the royal couple for addressing important issues like discrimination and misogyny. However, he couldn’t overlook their playful nicknaming as “H&M.”
The comedian even drew a surprising comparison between Prince Andrew and the Sussexes, expressing a preference for Andrew’s respect for the monarchy. Brodkin highlighted Andrew’s resignation from Royal life in 2019 due to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, suggesting that at least Andrew acknowledged his mistakes and faced consequences.
A TikTok clip of Brodkin’s remarks quickly went viral, garnering 330,000 views and 16,000 likes. However, his shock comic style faced backlash from Meghan’s fans on X, the social media platform. Royal Watchers also weighed in, deeming this incident a potential make-or-break moment for the Sussex brand.
As an insider with extensive knowledge of the situation, it’s evident that Brodkin’s comedic jabs have further fueled the ongoing debate surrounding Harry and Meghan’s public image. Whether supporters or critics, everyone seems to have an opinion on the couple’s ventures post-Royal life, raising questions about their continuous use of the royal family for financial gains.
