Amy Schumer’s Markle shade drops unexpected Middleton bomb
Amy Schume never been one to shy away from a zinger, and her latest jab has royal watchers buzzing. The comedian dropped an Instagram video that’s got everyone talking, taking a brutal dig at Meghan Markle while tossing in a cheeky nod to Kate Middleton. The Royal Observer caught the moment, reporting how Schumer skewered Meghan’s insistence on being called “Meghan Sussex” with a quip that’s as sharp as it is hilarious.
“I’m not gonna stir the pot, but why don’t we have to call Kate Middleton ‘Kate of Wales’?”
she said, smirking at the camera before signing off with a sly, “Ok, Hilaria.”
The shade comes hot on the heels of Meghan’s new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, where she playfully chided pal Mindy Kaling for not using her ducal surname. “I’m Sussex now,” Meghan teased, sparking eye-rolls and applause in equal measure. Schumer, clearly unimpressed, turned it into comedy gold, flipping the script with a Kate Middleton twist that’s got X lighting up.
“Amy’s roasting Meghan and I’m here for it,” one fan posted, while another chimed in, “Kate of Wales has a ring to it-Schumer’s onto something!” It’s peak Amy-blunt, funny, and stirring the pot despite her “no stirring” claim.

Meghan’s not new to Schumer’s playful wrath
Back in 2018, when both were pregnant, Amy dubbed her a “nemesis” in a Daily Mail quip, joking, “She looks better than me in heels while I’m in flats.” Fast forward to now, and the Trainwreck star’s at it again, weaving Kate into the mix for maximum impact.
Kate, the Princess of Wales, has been keeping it low-key amid her cancer recovery, per Newsweek, making Schumer’s offhand remark a clever contrast-quiet royalty versus Meghan’s headline-grabbing vibe.
The timing’s spicy too-Schumer’s video landed as Meghan’s Netflix gig faces mixed reviews, with some X posts branding it “tone-deaf” while others cheer her hustle. “Amy’s just saying what we’re all thinking,” a user tweeted, nodding to the Sussex-Wales divide that’s fueled tabloids for years. Schumer’s riff isn’t just a laugh-it’s a nod to the royal pecking order, delivered with her signature no-filter flair.
