South Park Takes Aim at Harry and Meghan: A Hilarious Spoof on Their Privacy Tour

In a bold and humorous move, South Park has once again proven its knack for satire by poking fun at and in the latest episode of its 26th season.

Titled “Worldwide Privacy Tour,” this episode sends a strong message that the Sussexes have become a source of amusement among American audiences.

The storyline kicks off with Kyle, one of the show's main characters, grappling with the concept of branding after a spat with his younger brother, Ike.

As tensions rise over Ike hogging the computer, Kyle's disdain for Harry and Meghan spills out, much to the annoyance of his friends.

Things take a turn for the absurd when the couple, humorously dubbed the Prince of Canada and his wife, decide to move in right across the street from Kyle.

As if that weren't enough, the pair continues their so-called privacy tour by lighting fireworks at ungodly hours.

Viewers are treated to a comical scene where the prince enthusiastically plays the drums and indulges in polo matches.

One standout moment is when the character's wife dons an outfit eerily reminiscent of what Meghan wore during the 2018 Trooping the Colour event.

Before their arrival in South Park, the couple appears on a talk show, where they promote a book that parodies Harry's real-life memoir, “Spare.”

The wife goes as far as to call journalists and her in-laws “stupid,” while she accuses Kyle of victimizing her due to her ethnicity.

The prince, in a fit of rage, vows revenge, but Kyle remains unfazed.

The episode cleverly references Harry's rumored frostbitten p-nis, a nod to a scandalous detail revealed during William and Catherine's wedding in 2011.

Additionally, it alludes to a moment from Meghan's 40×40 project with Melissa McCarthy, where Harry is seen juggling outside a window.

By the episode's conclusion, Kyle comes to an important realization: having a brand doesn't equate to being a better person.

He tells Ike he can watch the Queen's funeral as many times as he likes, showcasing a shift in priorities.

Shortly after, his friends arrive to invite him outside for a game of basketball.

In a surprising twist, the prince shows up eager to join in, but instead of playing, he pulls out his drum kit.

This moment serves as a metaphor for the superficiality of fame, as the prince ultimately learns that life extends beyond the confines of television and glossy magazine covers.

The episode dives deep into the theme of branding, particularly relevant given Harry and Meghan's public persona as victims of the royal family.

In one scene, Butters takes Kyle to a branding agency, where every suggestion revolves around the theme of victimhood.

The Body Language Guy, a popular commentator, analyzed the episode on his channel, Royal Rogue.

He pointed out clever visual cues, like a candle that obstructed Meghan's view during the actual Queen's funeral, making a cameo appearance.

He also noted how the creators subtly referenced Meghan's tendency to imitate Catherine through various images displayed throughout the episode.

Royal commentators have chimed in on the spoof, praising its accuracy.

Niall Gardner, a royal expert, highlighted the couple's quest for privacy as a fitting portrayal.
