Harry and Meghan: From Royals to Running Jokes

Tucker Carlson has made it clear that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have become the punchline of many jokes lately.

The Fox News host recently took aim at the couple, branding them as figures lacking credibility and calling Harry a “douchey fake prince” alongside his “dumb wife from Santa Monica.”

This public roasting isn't new for the couple, who have faced criticism since they began sharing their story with the world.

Back in December, Carlson didn't hold back during his critique of their Netflix documentary series.

With an audience of nearly half a million tuning into “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” he seized the opportunity to label the Sussexes as desperate ex-royals seeking the spotlight.

In his monologue, he referred to Meghan as a “fake duchess from Los Angeles,” suggesting that their ongoing discussions about their lives stem from a victim mentality.

Carlson highlighted a particular moment from the documentary where Meghan recalled being instructed to curtsy before the late Queen Elizabeth II.

He mocked her disbelief, arguing that her pursuit of Harry was precisely to gain access to such royal traditions.

According to Carlson, this was all part of a larger narrative of narcissism that has somehow become its own genre on television.

The couple's shift from beloved royals to the subject of ridicule has been swift.

Just two years ago, when they began to share their truth through interviews and documentaries, the public was eager to hear more.

Following their much-discussed sit-down with Oprah, audiences were hungry for insights into their lives, which they delivered through a six-part Netflix series and Harry's memoir.

However, as time went on, the tide began to turn against them.

The revelations from Harry's memoir were intimate and at times shocking, detailing aspects of his life that many felt were too personal.

From his experiences of losing his virginity to an older woman in a field to his frostbite incident, these details offered a glimpse behind the curtain that many found uncomfortable.

Commentator Daniela Elsa pointed out that Harry and Meghan's fame may not be enough to translate their media buzz into lasting professional success.

Their attempts to carve out a new identity away from royal duties have often been met with skepticism.

For instance, after the release of Harry's memoir, late-night shows like Jimmy Kimmel Live!

began mocking the couple's tumultuous relationship.

The couple's journey through public perception has taken a comedic turn, with social media buzzing with memes and jokes about their desire for privacy, juxtaposed with their constant media presence.

The irony hasn't gone unnoticed, and many are left wondering how they can seek solitude while sharing so much of their lives.

The situation escalated further when “South Park” aired an episode titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour,” dedicated entirely to mocking Harry and Meghan.

It's a telling sign when even animated satire takes aim at your life choices.

The couple's attempts to navigate their post-royal existence have now become fodder for comedic commentary.

Adding to the humor, comedian Chris Rock also dedicated a segment of his Netflix special to poking fun at Meghan's experiences with racism.

It seems that no topic is off-limits anymore, as the couple finds themselves at the center of jokes that once might have seemed untouchable.
