Last night, Cedric the Entertainer mocked Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The 57-year-old host of the 2021 Emmy Awards ridiculed the couple for their heated interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The comedian remarked to the gathering of Hollywood stars assembled in Los Angeles for the ceremony, "As great as The Crown is, it pales in comparison to the real monarchy."
The couple's allegation that a member of the Royal Family had questioned how dark their baby Archie's skin tone would be before he was born startled Cedric.

He went on to make jokes about baby Archie teaching the Royal Family how to dance, as well as ridiculing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's concerns about their time as important members of the Royal Family. As Cedric laughed on stage, Josh O'Connor and several members of The Crown cast were seen on camera looking uncomfortable, as per The Sun.
The comedian hosted the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards, which took place in Los Angeles on Sunday. Cedric was spotted making jabs at the Royals while referencing the famous Netflix program The Crown, taking to the stage in front of a smaller crowd owing to the coronavirus outbreak.
Cedric was also heard laughing about the coronavirus pandemic and the controversy over vaccines for the virus during the Emmys. The awards ceremony this year was hosted at LA Live with a smaller crowd capacity, and visitors were needed to be vaccinated in order to attend.

Cedric the Entertainer also mocked Nicki Minaj's recent claims, which prompted another of his jokes. Nicki Minaj's recent allegations that the vaccination had rendered her cousin's friend "impotent" were targeted by the host, Daily Mail reported.
After revealing she couldn't attend the Met Gala in New York because she hadn't been vaccinated, the rapper was spotted encouraging followers to think twice about getting vaccinated. "My cousin in Trinidad won't get the vaccine cuz his friend had it and turned impotent," Nicki tweeted, expressing her reservations over the vaccine.
Nicki's post was slammed by health officials in the United States and Trinidad and Tobago, who claimed her statements were false. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical adviser to US President Joe Biden, encouraged Nicki to "think carefully" before making vaccination claims.
