The BBC is to broadcast a comedy which portrays the Duchess of Sussex as a ‘trailer trash’ American who threatens to knife the Duchess of Cambridge in a jealous rage.

The BBC Two programme, Tonight With Vladimir Putin, is a spoof chat show that uses performance capture technology to turn comedians into 3D digital characters.

Both episodes, to be shown tomorrow night, include a feature entitled ‘Meghan Markle’s Royal Sparkle’. The Duchess of Sussex character takes planted questions from the studio audience.

She is asked: “What makes you angry?” and replies with an anecdote about the Duchess of Cambridge asking to borrow her hairbrush.

“I say no because that’s gross and then I leave my room and come back and I can tell she’s used my hairbrush anyway because it’s covered in skanky hair that’s going grey and I say, ‘Stay the f--- out of my trailer or I’ll cut you, Kate,’” she yells,

The show also makes fun of the Duchess’s relationship with her father, Thomas Markle. “I’d just like to know: how’s your dad?” an audience member asks. “Great question. Next,” the Duchess replies.

When she is asked by a woman what it is like being married to the Duke, she responds: “I’m just wondering why you’re so interested there, missy? I mean, what’s that about? Do you have a problem with me and Harry? Are you trying to lay claim to my man?” She then challenges the questioner to a fight, saying: “We can go right now, bitch, you and me.”
