The 2021 Grammys host, Trevor Noah, took a dig at the royal family during his opening monologue.
Noah compared the tension among the Grammy nominees to a family reunion at Buckingham Palace.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently gave a bombshell interview about royal life.
As Noah opened the 2021 Grammys, he noted that the ceremony would be unlike any other because of the coronavirus-related restrictions in place.
"This year's Grammys is going to look a little different, I'm not going to front, the whole thing is going to be pretty different," Noah said.
"But it's going to be even more exciting because our nominees will be sitting at those tables for their awards, so right now there's more tension in that tent than at a family reunion at Buckingham Palace," Noah said.
The gag came at the expense of the royal family, which has had a dramatic week since the couple's Winfrey interview aired March 7.
