Prince Harry and Meghan Markle became one of the jokes in host Jo Koy's opening monologue

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been warned that their "star has fallen", as the royal couple were among the few to be mocked at Sunday night's Golden Globes ceremony.

The annual film awards were this year hosted by stand up comedian Jo Koy, who poked fun at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as well as the Royal Family.


Koy, who was picked as a last minute replacement just ten days before the awards night, hit out at the Sussexes in the latest mockery of the couple.

Harry and Meghan have previously become the subject of a joke on animated sitcoms South Park and Family Guy, where writers poked fun at their lifestyle and deals with Netflix and Spotify.

The Royal Family also came under fire by Koy in the comedian's first presenting gig on a global stage.

Addressing the star-studded room in his opening monologue, the 52-year-old began by comparing Netflix hit The Crown to HBO's Succession.

He said: "Succession has nine nominations - just a great series about a rich, white, dysfunctional family, all scheming... oh wait, that's The Crown. I'm sorry."

The audience rumbled with laughter as Koy continued: "How great was Imelda Staunton in The Crown, wasn’t she amazing? Her portrayal of the Queen was so good, Prince Harry called her and asked her for money!"

Koy also took aim at the couple's crumbling deals with Netflix and Spotify, as he quipped: "Harry and Meghan Markle got paid millions for doing absolutely nothing. And that's just by Netflix."

Reacting to the jokes, commentator Phil Dampier told GB News that the royal couple "won't be happy" with the mockery.

Dampier said: "When you start to become figures of ridicule, you are in trouble. When they first went out there, they were popular.

"When you when you've fallen out with the woke luvvies and they're starting to take the mickey out of you, you know that your star has fallen."

Dampier predicted that the couple's popularity is set to "nosedive" even more in 2024, following a turbulent year ending with Omid Scobie's book, Endgame.

The couple have remained silent on the controversial biography, which launched a fresh set of claims and allegations against the Royal Family.

Dampier stated: "Everyone's just regarding them as figures of fun. And I think this year is that is going to be a real turning point for them.

"I think unless they pull something out the bag, they are in for a bit of a nosedive."
