Saturday Night Live UK<\/em> made its television debut by taking aim at ex-prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein<\/strong><\/a>, the deeply unpopular war in Iran<\/a> and the seemingly endless Beckham family drama<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The UK version of the hit U.S. sketch comedy show \u2014 produced by Sky Studios \u2014 made its debut on Saturday, March 21, featuring a British cast of comedians. The cast wasted no time in weighing in on some of the world\u2019s biggest news stories.<\/p>\n

\u201cComing up on Weekend Update: pedophila. But first, war!\u201d Weekend Update<\/em>, the UK version, host Ania Magliano<\/strong> said alongside her cohost, Paddy Young<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After a slew of Iran-related jokes, the pair turned their attention back to the disgraced royal, who was arrested on February 19<\/a>, his 66th birthday, on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to his relationship with Epstein, who died by suicide<\/a> in a Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tPresident Donald Trump is speaking out after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. \u201cI think it\u2019s a shame. I think it\u2019s very sad,\u201d Trump, 79, told reporters on Air Force One on Thursday, February 19. \u201cI think it\u2019s so bad for the royal family. It\u2019s [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mountbatten-Windsor is accused of sharing confidential government information with the late pedophile while he served as a U.K. trade envoy between 2001 and 2011.<\/p>\n

\u201cRenovations to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor\u2019s new home, Marsh Farm, have been taking place over the last month, including installation of Sky TV,\u201d Mangliano said. \u201cSo, if you\u2019re watching Andrew, hello! You\u2019re not going to like this next bit. Also, I\u2019m older than I look.\u201d<\/p>\n
