Following the couple’s high-profile marriage and and ensuing exit from their positions as working royals, Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have opened up about what it’s really like to be a member of the royal family. The Onion spoke to the pair about their current projects, parenthood, and life outside the royal circle.
The Onion
Meghan: “We both used to be briefcase girls on Deal Or No Deal.”
The Onion
Harry: “Hahaha! We get that all the time.”
The Onion
Meghan: “Wait, he wore what?!”
The Onion
Harry: “Murdering everyone in my family and seizing the throne.”
The Onion
Meghan: “I thought it was pretty clear that the real reason is that he’s a dumb bitch.”
The Onion
Harry: “Well, I wouldn’t consider us ‘wealthy’ per se. Maybe just comfortable.”
The Onion
Harry: “Financially, it’s been a bit of a strain, but with our $100 million Netflix deal and some DoorDashing on the weekends, we manage to make it work.”
The Onion
Harry: “People often see my pale skin and think I’m very sick, potentially that I’ll die immediately. And I have to explain that this isn’t right.”
The Onion
Meghan: “As a child, I grew up wishing I could be imprisoned by dozens of inbred lunatics who distrust me because I have darker skin, so yeah, it’s been amazing!”
The Onion
Harry: “I know this. Meghan has been issued a hall pass for her crush, Idris Elba. At least he’s an Englishman!”
Meghan: “And Harry has the same hall pass for Prince William, which he’s used many, many, many times.”
The Onion
Meghan: “What? No. What a stupid fucking question.”
The Onion
Harry: “I don’t know her name, but she was a background extra in the season-one episode ‘Tricks Of The Trade.’”
The Onion
Meghan: “I was in England and was nauseous all the time. Throwing up from morning until night. Always queasy. So when I started feeling better, I knew something was up.”
The Onion
Harry: “It’s definitely more hands-on than I expected, seeing as we employ about one-twentieth of the housekeeping staff we’d have at Buckingham.”
Meghan: “Motherhood is much more lucrative than I thought.”
The Onion
Meghan: “Harry’s piece of the pie is shrinking rapidly. Why slice it into even smaller parts?”
The Onion
Meghan: “By creating an impenetrable palace of lies in a wealthy, walled-off community where our children can never meet anyone outside the 1%.”
The Onion
Meghan: “I don’t think he is—”
Harry: “Sorry, I think that was addressed to me?”
Meghan: “No, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t. The interviewer was looking directly at me. So, yeah, you’re confused. You’re making yourself look foolish. Did you research me at all, you idiot?”
The Onion
Meghan: “Duchess Tippleworth von Hagglesnotch, Duchess of Sussex.”
The Onion
Harry: “Big H.”
The Onion
Harry: “Every single person in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, the Falkland Islands, and Turks and Caicos.”
The Onion
Harry: “Yes, they’ve set an electrified cage off to the side where I will sit naked until it is over.”
The Onion
Harry: “I honestly don’t see why you can’t have both!”
The Onion
Harry: “I miss when we’d wake up in the morning and there she’d be, paintbrush in her hand, trying to paint Meghan white.”
The Onion
Meghan “When she was concerned about the race of our child maybe?”
Harry: “Or how about when she killed my mom?”
The Onion
Harry: “I saw an ad on Craigslist for a really great apartment that was super cheap and just knew we had to have it. It turned out to be a scam, and they stole my $1,500 deposit, but it definitely got us interested in moving there.”
The Onion
Meghan: “How do you know that? Are you a stalker or something? Oh my God, Harry, call the police. This person is fucking insane. I was 13, you pervert.”
The Onion
Harry: “Our foundation supplies trips to the water park for the incontinent.”
The Onion
Harry and Meghan: “The chuffed lorry.”
The Onion
Harry: “Yeah, there’s really no reason why any of you lot should care about us, and yet here we are.”
The Onion
Harry: “Nope, we don’t think so.”
The Onion
Meghan: “Yes, but I’m used to the American English word for it, which is ‘Black.’”
The Onion
Harry: “Pass.”
Meghan: “Pass.”
