Comedian Colin Jost Obliterates Meghan Markle Over Leaked Yacht Girl Photos — Duchess Said to Be ‘Furious and Humiliated’

The war between royalty and comedy just hit a boiling point.

According to entertainment insiders, Meghan Markle is “livid” after Saturday Night Live’s Colin Jost delivered a brutal joke during the show’s “Weekend Update” segment, referencing the long-circulating but controversial “yacht girl” rumors tied to her pre-royal life — shortly after alleged photos resurfaced online.

“I’ve never seen her this angry,” said a Hollywood PR source. “This wasn’t just comedy — she felt it was a personal, targeted attack.”


🎤 The Joke Heard Around the World

During the segment, Jost reportedly quipped:

“Prince Harry said he found Meghan when he least expected it. Probably because she was on someone else’s yacht.”

The audience laughed, but backstage? The fallout was instant.

While Jost didn’t directly name the photos or offer any serious accusations, the thinly veiled reference was clear — especially to those familiar with online forums and royal gossip threads, where unverified claims about Meghan’s alleged “yacht girl” days have circulated for years.


📸 What Are the “Yacht Girl” Photos?

The photos in question — which have never been confirmed to be Meghan Markle — allegedly show a woman resembling her aboard a luxury yacht in the Mediterranean prior to her royal engagement.

Though long debunked by her defenders and branded as “misogynistic propaganda,” the photos resurface every time Meghan makes headlines, particularly when linked to issues of authenticity, privacy, or power.

This time, the timing couldn’t have been worse: the images went viral just days before a reported Netflix deal relaunch and a potential rebrand of Meghan’s lifestyle platform.


🔥 Meghan’s Response: “Cruel, Sexist, and Desperate”

Sources close to Meghan say she was “devastated” and “furious” after watching the clip:

“She felt humiliated on a global stage,” said one insider. “She’s worked hard to distance herself from toxic narratives, and to have it joked about on SNL — it was a low blow.”

Her legal team is not expected to take action, but damage control efforts are already underway behind the scenes.

“This wasn’t just a joke. It was a punch to the brand,” one royal watcher noted.


👑 Palace Reaction: Silence, As Usual

Buckingham Palace has not issued any comment — and neither has Prince Harry. But insiders say the couple is now reconsidering future public appearances and scrambling to prevent further media fallout.


🎭 Colin Jost: Unapologetic as Always

So far, Colin Jost has not responded to the controversy — nor has NBC. But fans of the show argue that this is exactly what SNL does: no one is safe, and if you’re a public figure monetizing your image, you’re fair game.

“The moment you sign a Netflix deal while calling out media abuse — you invite satire,” said one pop culture analyst.


💬 Internet Reacts: Divided, But Loud

The online world lit up after the episode aired:

  • “Colin Jost just said what everyone’s been thinking.”

  • “Dragging her over old, unconfirmed photos? That’s low.”

  • “She built a brand on empowerment. This felt like a step backwards — for everyone.”

  • “Comedians roast presidents, billionaires, and yes — duchesses. No one is immune.”

🎯 Final Thought: Satire or Slut-Shaming?

The debate now rages over whether this was fair comedy or a sexist attack. Supporters of Meghan argue that weaponizing unverified images of a woman’s past is beneath any legitimate satire, while others insist that public figures must accept the double-edged sword of fame.

What’s clear is that Meghan won’t forget this moment — and the public, yet again, is caught between loyalty, curiosity, and criticism.

Because when royalty meets late-night comedy…

It’s never just a joke.
