All the ‘brutal’ shots ‘South Park’ took at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
In a recent “South Park” episode titlꦬed “The Worldwide Privacy Tour,” Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were brutally mocked.
Markle, 41, was reportedly “upset and overwhelmed” by it, and the couple’s approval ratings in the US have even taken a dive. Despite rumors of a lawsuit, the couple’s rep told The Post that Harry and Meghan thought the eꦐpisode was “all frankly nonsense … totally baseless and boring” and denied allegations that the couple pla🦩nned to sue.
Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were unfazed by the uproar, recalling a long history of l🐠awsuits, including battles with Scientology over their notorious episode mocking Tom Cruise.
The episode follows cartoon characters who claim to want to stay out of the spotlight but go on various talk shows. They resemble the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but aren’t given their official names on the show. If you missed the ep♒isode, or even if you saw it but missed some Easter eggs, here’s what you need to know.
A nod to the candle snub
On the show, the characters attend the funeral of the “Canadian Queen” and walk past a candle. Recall that in real life, on the televised broadcast of the queen’s funeral, there were rumors that the royal family put Markle behind a candle so that she 🐻was barely seen during the broadcast.
Memoir mockery
In the episode, the character who is comparable to Prince Harry is promoting a book called “Waagh.” On-screen,🔯 one character complaints, “They have this huge jet parked in front of m🐭y house and they keep on wanting me to buy their book.”
In real life, of course, Harry has made headlines with his bestselling and controversial memoir “Spare.”
Remembering the frost-bitten member
In his memoir, Prince Harry infamously gave too much information about his frost-bitten “todger.” On the show, the Harry c⛄haracter says at one point, “This is an outrage – we will just see how he deals with my blue penis.”
Lost in translation
In real life, Meghan Markle has given interviews to several outlets such as Vogue and Variety. In the episode, the Meghan-like character is shown on the cover of fictional magazine “G2.” The cover says “Princess Anus.” This is a play on words of the Latin phrase that appeared on her real-life GQ cover — “Meghan’s annus mirabilis” — which translates to “Meghan’s wonderful year.”
Role play
On-screen, the fictional couple meets with a brand manager, who labels the Meghan character “sorority girl, actress, influencer and victim,” while the Harry character is given the label, “royal prince, millionaire, world ไtraveler, victim.” The Meghan character is also described🅠 as “lawyer pretending,” which is a reference to Markle’s days as an actress on the USA series “Suits.”
Mixed messages
Harry and Meghan famously sat down with Oprah in real life, in addition to releasing a six-part Netflix documentary about their relationship. Many have pointed out that their endless self-promotion i꧂s at odds with their supposed desire for privacy.
On the show, the characters appear on “Good Morning Canada” to claim that they want privacy. The Meghan character holds a sign reading: “Stop looking at us” while the Harry character’s sign reads, 🧸“We want our privacy.”
Moving on down
In real life, Harry and Meghan made headlines with their 2020 step back from the royal family and move to California. On the show, the couple mov♑es꧒ to South Park, and the Meghan character says, “If we moved here, people would think we’re really serious about wanting to be normal.”
