To Leslie Jones, her fellow SNL alum Kate McKinnon will always be a princess—but not in the way she originally thought.
Ahead of Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary special Feb. 16, Kate and Leslie reminisced about the many memories they made while collaborating on the iconic sketch comedy show. And while their comedic chemistry has always been undeniable, it turns out Leslie only found out Kate’s true last name long into their friendship.
“She thought my name was Kate Middleton,” Kate—who was a regular on the show from 2012 to 2022—said on NBC’s SNL 50 red carpet, to which Leslie—who was on the show from 2014 to 2019—added, “And then I would be like well who’s Kate Middleton? And she was like, ‘A princess b–ch.’” (See all the stars on the red carpet here.)
But while the Barbie actress may not be the Princess of Wales, the former Supermarket Sweep host holds her in high esteem nonetheless, adding, “Not only are you a princess, you’re my queen.”
