Meghan Markle's return to the silver screen is the piping hot main course, and the British satirical show Spitting Image just dropped a seasoned side dish.
Following the announcement that the Duchess of Sussex is dusting off her acting chops for the Amazon MGM Studios film Close Personal Friends, the puppet show's producers decided to give her a "welcome back" with all the subtlety of a chili pepper.
The filming of Markle's much anticipated return to acting is underway in sunny Pasadena, California, and the reports from the set are as sweet as a Hollywood ending.
Sources told Gb News, the 44 year old felt "genuinely excited" but candidly admitted she was "a bit rusty" after her eight-year hiatus since leaving Suits for royal life.
However, across the pond, the Spitting Image puppets aren't waiting for the reviews to drop; they're already serving up some high grade ridicule, focusing heavily on her adopted family moniker.
The satirical sketches showcase the Duchess puppet repeatedly introducing herself as "Meghan Sussex" before unleashing a torrent of cleverly twisted cinematic references that swap drama for deal making.
The sketch doesn't spare Prince Harry either, with one clip showing the puppet throwing a tense, private life warning, "I swear to God, Harry ruin my take again and I will end you."
