Daniel Kaluuya also addressed the differences between the US and Britain
Daniel Kaluuya dragged the royal family while delivering a smashing monologue during his Saturday Night Live debut this week.
Kaluuya, who belongs to London, referred to Meghan and Harry s bombshell claim of a royal family member being concerned about Archie s skin colour.

The former plays Fred Hampton, the charismatic young leader of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party in the late 1960s. The latter plays Bill O Neal, a petty criminal who is recruited by the FBI to infiltrate the Black Panthers in exchange for not going to jail.
