  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

  • sent shockwaves through the UK

  • when they sent Buckingham Palace a breakup text.

  • But now the queen is saying, "Slow your roll, bitches."

  • Now to that bombshell announcement.

  • The whole world is talking about it.

  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle revealing that they intend

  • to step back as so-called "senior members"

  • of the Royal Family.

  • NEWSMAN: A rift in the Royal Family

  • not seen for a generation.

  • Prince Harry, the most popular royal after the queen,

  • and his American wife Meghan,

  • issuing what amounts to a declaration of independence.

  • Their bombshell announcement

  • taking other royals by surprise.

  • There was no advance warning for the queen,

  • Prince Charles or Prince William.

  • Buckingham Palace issuing a terse response:

  • Oh...

  • -shit just got real. -(laughter)

  • Yeah, apparently, the queen is not happy,

  • because Harry and Meghan didn't tell her

  • they plan to quit the family business.

  • Yeah. And maybe they did tell her,

  • but because she's, like, a hundred years old, she forgot.

  • You don't know. Yeah, maybe they're like,

  • "Grandma, we're leaving the Royal Family."

  • She's like, "When?" They're like, "Next week."

  • "What's next week?" "We're leaving."

  • "Who's leaving?" "We are."

  • "You are what?" "Aw, never mind."

  • "Those suckers fall for it every time."

  • Now, some people are saying the queen is upset

  • because the Royal Family needs Harry and Meghan

  • to stay popular and relevant.

  • I think the real reason is that the queen is mad

  • because now she's stuck with a bunch of merchandise

  • she can't sell.

  • Yeah. She's like, "I can't sell shirts that say 'Slay Queen'

  • "if there's no black family!

  • I'll get cancelled on Twitter!"

  • You know who I feel bad for in all of this, though?

  • Meghan and Harry's son Archie.

  • Yeah. 'Cause you realize, eventually he's gonna grow up

  • and be like, "So let me get this straight.

  • (laughter)

  • "We used to be in the Royal Family?

  • "Like, I could have been a king?

  • "And now I'm working at Burger King?

  • -Is that what you're saying?" -(laughter)

  • All right, moving on, from the most entitled family in England

  • to the most entitled family in the U.S.

  • President Trump has spent nearly a third of his days in office

  • visiting one of his own vacation properties.

  • And every time Trump and his family travels,

  • it costs the taxpayers money.

  • And if you'd like to know how much money,

  • well, there's good news and bad news.

  • NEWSWOMAN: The Washington Post reports

  • the Trump Administration wants to delay

  • until after the election a Democratic proposal.

  • It requires the Secret Service to disclose

  • just how much it spends on protecting the president

  • and his family when they travel.

  • The Secret Service is part of the Treasury Department.

  • Treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin

  • has reportedly agreed to the idea,

  • but wants to start it after the presidential election.

  • Oh, yes, that's right-- Steve Mnuchin, treasury secretary

  • and corporate Kylo Ren,

  • says he will disclose how much money

  • the Secret Service spends on Trump,

  • but only after the election.

  • Yeah. And that can't be a good sign.

  • Why after the election? Huh?

  • That's like asking a hook-up if they've been tested,

  • and they say, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was,

  • and I'll tell you the results after we smash."

  • -(laughter) -Now, protecting a president

  • has always cost money, let's be fair.

  • But Trump is a special case,

  • 'cause this is the first time where the Secret Service

  • also has to protect the president from himself.

  • Yeah. They're like, "Watch out, Mr. President,

  • "the stove is hot.

  • "Sir, what did I just say? Stop that.

  • "Sir, stop... Okay, you want to touch it?

  • Touch it, touch it, touch it, Do you want touch it?"

  • He's like, "No, I learned my lesson."

  • (laughter)

  • I'm just picturing him now.

  • "Are you gonna touch it?" "No, no, I'm not touching."

  • Now, we already know that since he became president,

  • Trump's travel has cost taxpayers

  • about $100 million.

  • What I want to know is a breakdown.

  • I want to see a breakdown of what they spend on each member

  • of the Trump family. Yeah.

  • 'Cause I bet they spend, like, a fortune to protect Ivanka,

  • but then they just buy Eric a Groupon for karate lessons.

  • -(laughter) -"Hey, figure that shit out."

  • All right, and finally, some news going viral online.

  • Madame Tussauds is world-famous

  • for creating life-like wax replicas

  • of famous people throughout time.

  • But they're also famous for sometimes getting it very wrong.

  • NEWSWOMAN: A wax figure of a celebrity at Madame Tussauds

  • is being roasted online-- it's the figure of Nicki Minaj.

  • At Tussauds Museum in Berlin, the image is supposed to be

  • of the rapper from her music video,

  • but social media thinks, uh, it's not even close.

  • One tweet called it "a mess"

  • and asked, does Google not exist?

  • Okay, that is a terrible-looking replica

  • of Nicki Minaj.

  • It's almost like the sculptor focused so much on the ass

  • that when he got to the face, he was just like, "Aw, I'm tired.

  • -I don't... I don't know." -(laughter)

  • But instead of asking why doesn't this wax figure

  • look like Nicki Minaj, I feel like people should be asking

  • the question: Why are we still making wax figures?!

  • 'Cause in the 1700s, when Madame Tussauds started,

  • it made sense-- you didn't know what people looked like, right?

  • Now we have cameras. Right? No one out there is like,

  • "I want to know what Ed Sheeran looks like,

  • -but I want bees to be involved." -(laughter)

  • I mean, at the same time, I also kind of feel bad

  • for the people who work at Madame Tussauds,

  • 'cause making wax figures is difficult.

  • Like, even a candle is hard to make.

  • One time I tried to make a candle

  • for my mom for her birthday,

  • and it came out looking like Mitch McConnell. Yeah.

  • And here's my big issue. Here's my big issue.

  • Why did they make Nicki Minaj's wax figure in that position?

  • Like, like, do you know what I mean?

  • No, 'cause everyone else's wax figure gets to stand.

  • Beyoncé's stands. Elton John's stands.

  • But Nicki Minaj is ass-up,

  • like that's her natural position in life.

  • She did that once.

  • So, like, she goes to the grocery store like, "Yes, yes.

  • -(laughter) "Some milk, please.

  • Some milk."

  • If I was Nicki Minaj, I would be pissed off with that.

  • It's the same way I bet Jesus will be pissed off

  • when he comes back to Earth-- he's gonna be, "Wait,

  • I was crucified one time, and that's how you remember me?

  • "One time? What about the time I walked on water?

  • "Where's the statue of that? Huh?

  • "Remember the magic trick with the wine?

  • "Where's the statue of that? And also, why do I look white?

  • What the hell is going on!"

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
