Andrew asked to befriend paedophile to make brother look good in SNL sketch

Saturday Night Live UK has opened its second episode with a sketch of an MI5 plan that asked Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to befriend a “notorious paedophile” in order to make his brother look good.

Set in 1997, the sketch saw Jack Shep portray the disgraced royal during a meeting with MI5 officers – played by Celeste Dring, Ayoade Bamgboye and Hammed Animashaun – who devised a plan to increase support for King Charles by making everyone around him more unlikable.
