Prince Andrew’s Epstein scandal planned by MI5
“Saturday Night Live UK” revisited the former Prince Andrew’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein in a cold open that thought the scandal was just a “29-year scheme” to make the eventual King Charles look good by comparison.
In last weekend’s premiere episode, breakout star Jack Shep played Princess Diana, but tonight he played the former Prince Andrew during a meeting at MI5 headquarters in 1997, shortly after her death.
“Since Diana’s death, the public has turned against Prince Charles. Yet one day he will become king,” says an MI5 agent played by Celeste Dring. “We need to make sure he looks good. There is no easy way to say this, Your Highness. We have deduced that the only way to increase the sympathy of our future king is to decrease the sympathy of everyone around him.”
“I understand,” Shep says as Andrew says. “Well, I love my brother, I love my country and I’m willing to do whatever it takes.”
Another agent, played by Hammed Animashaun, then hands Andrew a book containing a “29-year plan” to “slowly but surely trick the entire country into thinking you’re a… well, read it a little.”
With a shocked expression, Shep responds as Andrew, “And you actually want me to do all of these things? Even the part about befriending a notorious pedophile? Before and after he’s convicted? And there’s absolutely no other way to make my brother look good?”
Larry Dean as Peter Mandelson and Emma Sidi as Sarah Ferguson next appear as others recruited as “agents” to keep Charles looking his best.
“Your Highness, if you’re ever in too deep, just say the code word and we’ll step in to save you,” says the officer played by Dring. When Shep as Andrew asks for the code word, Animashaun replies: “Pizza Express, Woking,” referencing Andrew’s infamous alibi for his relationship with Epstein.
“Gentlemen, thank you and say goodbye to the man you love,” Shep’s Andrew concludes. “I’ll see you in 2026, when I can finally hold my head up high and say… Live from London, it’s Saturday night!”
