Meghan Markle’s acting career has been mocked in new skits depicting the Duchess shared by satirical TV programme Spitting Image.
The clips, posted by the show’s producers on YouTube and TikTok, have her puppet performing various audition scenes for iconic roles such as Robert De Niro’s Travis Bickle character in 1976 movie Taxi Driver.
She is seen introducing herself for the camera as ‘Meghan Sussex’ and also delivering versions of famous lines from films such as Jaws and Taken.
This comes after it was revealed the Duchess was returning to acting after an eight-year hiatus to be in the Amazon MGM Studios film Close Personal Friends.
Lines performed by the Spitting Image version include a Taxi Driver take-off in which she starts to replicate De Niro’s ‘You talking to me?’ soliloquy – but newly adds: ‘Not without securing an exclusive deal with my publicist.’
In a twist on a line from Jaws, ‘We’re going to need a bigger boat’, the Meghan puppet – wielding a fishing rod – instead says: ‘We’re going to need a bigger house.’
