Meghan Markle will be portrayed as a 'trailer trash'
American in a BBC show tonight, in which a cartoon of the Duchess threatens to
stab Kate Middleton.
The spoof comedy called Tonight With Vladimir Putin, which
airs on BBC Two, has already drawn huge criticism from viewers. The show's two
pilot episodes will lampoon well known public figures using 3D digital
technology in front of a live audience.
One segment titled ‘Meghan Markle’s Royal Sparkle’ sees a
version of the actress-turned-royal take questions from people in the studio in
order to 'get to know you, the United British of Kingdom people'. The
outlandish version of Duchess of Sussex develops a violent rage towards her
sister-in-law, the Duchess of Cambridge.
Meghan's relationship with her father Thomas Markle is also
openly mocked and the programme will also feature Russian despot Vladimir Putin
in a host role, and appearances by Alastair Campbell and June Sarpong.
A BBC spokesperson however said: 'Viewers will clearly
recognise this performance as a spoof and highly satirical, within the context
of a programme which lampoons a wide range of public figures and the public’s
perception of them.'
