South Park Roasts Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in Latest Episode
After enduring years of criticism and scrutiny, the British royal couple, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, faced a scathing roast on the popular adult animated series, South Park.
Known for its satirical take on public figures, the show targeted the couple for their perceived victimhood, shallowness, and quest for attention despite claiming a desire for privacy.
In a recent episode, characters resembling the Prince of Canada and his wife were portrayed as hypocrites, with the prince humorously revealing an incident involving frostbite on his manhood during a charity trek in the North Pole.
Following the airing of the episode, fans took to social media to praise South Park's portrayal of Harry and Meghan.
Viewers lauded the show, with one Twitter user describing it as “pure effing gold,” while others acknowledged the humorous take on the royal couple.
The episode's comedic approach to the couple's public image garnered widespread approval online, with many expressing amusement at the satire.
The comedic jabs at Prince Harry did not stop with South Park, as late-night host Jimmy Kimmel also joined in on the fun by poking fun at the constant references to the prince's anatomy in his memoir, “Spare.”
Additionally, comedian Trevor Noah took a playful swipe at the Sussexes during his hosting duties at the Grammys, questioning whether the couple comprehended their global status as laughing stocks, particularly in Hollywood, a realm Meghan values highly.
Notably, outspoken critic Piers Morgan criticized Harry and Meghan for their apparent inability to laugh at themselves in light of the South Park parody.
Morgan suggested that the couple, who have faced intense public scrutiny, may not take the comedic portrayal lightly and could be feeling indignant about being mocked on a popular television show.
In the midst of the ongoing controversy, reports have surfaced indicating that Prince Harry may include a new chapter in the paperback edition of his memoir, “Spare,” to address the backlash from the royal family and the public.
While Harry has reportedly ruled out a sequel to the book, sources suggest that he is contemplating adding a supplementary chapter to the paperback release later this year or early next year, following the conclusion of hardcover sales.
Despite facing criticism and backlash from various quarters, Prince Harry remains content with the reception of his memoir.
According to an insider close to the prince, Harry expressed satisfaction with the book's success and the public response to his revelations.
Unfazed by the controversy surrounding his disclosures, Harry indicated that he has no regrets about sharing his story and is pleased to have shared his perspective with the world, noting the overwhelmingly positive reaction to his memoir.
