SNL celebrated its season finale this week—and of course, they didn't miss out on the opportunity to write a skit about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's over-the-top royal wedding. Predictably, it's hilarious—even Elton John, played by the ever-amazing Aidy Bryant, makes an appearance. (And bless the show's hard-working wardrobe team: They even nailed the uniform Harry got married in.)

In the hilarious sketch Prince Harry (played by Mikey Day), takes viewers around the royal reception for his "official wedding video." There he shows off just how weird and awkward things can get when Americans and British royalty party together.

Harry first chats with an inebriated Kate Middleton, (played by Cecily Strong) who says she's there to have a good time.

"Well, yeah, you know, for the past six years I've been like pregnant the whole time," Middleton tells Harry as she giggles her way through her words. "So I'm going hard tonight!"

"How much have you had to drink?" Harry asks.

"One glass of champagne!" Kate giggles before running off camera.

The sketch also involves a twerk-off between Princes Harry and Will—however, their dance floor moves are cut short when their grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, spots the pair's shenanigans.
