**Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Face Celebrity Ridicule Ahead of Oscars**

and find themselves in uncharted waters as they become targets of mockery from fellow celebrities, recent reports suggest.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, currently residing in Montecito, California, have been on the receiving end of criticism from notable figures such as South Park, Rebel Wilson, and Chris Rock.

Speculation is rife that the couple may be subjected to jokes at the upcoming Oscars ceremony this Sunday.

During a segment on Palace Confidential, host Joe Elvin highlighted the novelty of celebrities taking aim at the royal couple.

“They might be no strangers to media scrutiny, but this kind of criticism from celebrities is a whole new ball game,” he remarked.

Richard Eden, the Daily Mail's diary editor, expressed doubt that Harry and Meghan would take the jibes lightly, especially citing Chris Rock's comments as potentially hurtful.

Eden pointed out that the couple had previously emphasized their connections with the black community, including their involvement with Black Lives Matter and the civil rights award they received from the NAACP, which was featured in their Netflix series.

The prospect of being laughed at by Chris Rock and a predominantly black audience was seen as a potential blow to their image.

Comedian Chris Rock further fueled the controversy by targeting in his latest Netflix special, “Selective Outrage.”

Rock openly questioned the Duchess's claims about her lack of prior knowledge regarding the royal family before marrying .

In a scathing remark, he quipped, “It's the royal family, you didn't google these mother effers.

What the eff is she talking about?

She didn't know.”

PR expert Matt Yanofsky weighed in on the situation, suggesting that the recent wave of ridicule has stripped away the untouchable status that Harry and Meghan once enjoyed in the United States.

He noted how shows like South Park have paved the way for public mockery of the couple, giving others the green light to express their opinions more openly.

Yanofsky hinted at the possibility of the couple facing further scrutiny at the upcoming Oscars event.

As tensions continue to rise around the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the public remains divided on the unfolding drama.

With the Oscars looming on the horizon, all eyes are on Harry and Meghan as they navigate this latest storm of celebrity backlash.
