During his set, the comedian takes a jab at the Duchess of Sussex for her interview with Oprah Winfrey in which she talked about one British royal family member's alleged concern about her son's skin color.

AceShowbiz - Meghan Markle's best friend Janina Gavankar apparently enjoyed Chris Rock's comedy show. Janina was allegedly among the audience at the live taping for the comedian's Netflix show "Chris Rock: Selective Outrage" on Saturday night, March 4.

According to Page Six, "The Vampire Diaries" actress was at Baltimore's Hippodrome Theater to see Chris performing for the streaming service's first live global streaming event. She allegedly joined her good friend Dave Chappelle backstage to watch the show in the VIP Green Room.

"Janina looked to be enjoying the show very much, she was standing up by the TV screens and laughing," a source claimed to the outlet.

During his set, Chris dissed Meghan for her 2021 infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey in which the Duchess claimed that one British royal family member allegedly raised "concerns" about "how dark" their baby might be before their son, Archie, was born. Of the claim, he joked that she was just dealing with some "in-law s**t."

"Like, who is this girl Meghan Markle? Seems like a nice lady - just complaining. Like, didn't she hit the light-skinned lottery?" the comic said before calling the royal family the "OGs of racism."

In addition to taking digs at the wife of Prince Harry, the "Madagascar" star joked about Will Smith's Oscars slap. "You know what people say, they say, 'words hurt,' " he said early in the set. "Anybody that say words hurt has never been punched in the face."

The "Grown Ups" actor then shared that he'll try not to "trigger" anyone, though he unloaded on Will again for slapping him in the face at last year's Academy Awards. "I got smacked at the f**king Oscars by this mother**ker. And people are like, 'Did it hurt?' It still hurts!" Chris said.

The 58-year-old also pointed out his and Will's size difference, saying that Will played Muhammad Ali while he played Pookie in "New Jack City". "Yes it hurt. It still hurts. I got 'Summertime' ringing in my ears. My f**king drums bleed," he claimed.
