Amy Schumeris taking a page out ofPrince HarryandMeghan Markle‘s book!
On Wednesday, theI Feel Prettystar, 38, joked about following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s footsteps after the royals announced their decision to “step back as senior members of the Royal Family.”
Alongside a photo of her husband,Chris Fischer, pushing her on a beach wheelchair, Schumerwrote on Instagram, “Chris and I are formally stepping down from our royal duties.”
“We appreciate your support,” she added in a nod to Harry and Megan’s statement earlier in the day.
This is not the first time that Schumer has drawn parallels between herself and the royal couple in jest.
Schumer previouslymade a crack about Meghan, 38, back when she and theSuitsalum were both expecting their first child. In a 2018 video segment forInStyletitled “How to Not Give a S— What Anybody Thinks,” the comedienne jokingly called Meghan her “nemesis.”

“Why is she my nemesis?” Schumer asked in the cheeky video. “Because she’s pregnantat the same time as me and I’m not letting her get away with that.”
Defending her point that everyone is a narcissist, Schumer went on to explain, “So maybe I’m feeling competitive, like, ‘Oh, Meghan looks better than me and she has a tiny small bump and she’s wearing high heels, and I already look 10 months pregnant and I’ve been wearing flats for the last four years.'”
Wrapping up her argument, Schumer quipped that nobody truly cares about her appearance as an expectant mother because people “really only care about themselves.”

Schumer’s joke Wednesday came after Meghan and Harry shared their bombshell decision to “carve out a progressive new role” on their joint Instagram account this week, explaining that they intend to “become financially independent.”
“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution,” the royal couple wrote.
“We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment.
“We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom andNorth America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages,” their statement continued.
“This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.”
“We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties,” the royal couple concluded. “Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support.”
