“Saturday Night Live U.K.” once again tackled former Prince Andrew’s relationship to Jeffrey Epstein in a cold open that imagined the scandal was just a “29-year plan” to make the eventual King Charles look good in comparison.

Last weekend’s premiere episode saw breakout star Jack Shep playing Princess Diana, but tonight he played the former Prince Andrew during a meeting at the MI5 headquarters in 1997 shortly after her death.
