Since stepping down from the British royal family, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not stopped attracting attention with their actions. They even charged an amount of millions of dollars to tell their story in their Netflix documentary.
Now they are back in the limelight, but not for their own merits. And it is that the animated program “South Park” made a parody of them, which Meghan Markle did not like.

This was the ‘South Park’ episode for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
On February 15, 2023, the second episode of season 26 of “South Park,” a dark humor animated series that has captivated audiences for years, premiered.
The chapter is called “The Worldwide Privacy Tour” and its plot follows a red-haired prince and his wife, who coincidentally wears the same “uniform” worn by Meghan Markle at Trooping the Color in 2018.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are never directly named in the episode. But the show drops a lot of hints that could be taken as a mockery of the royal couple.
For starters, “the prince and his wife” (as they are called in “South Park”) are in the middle of a world tour to ask for privacy, but at the same time they do not stop drawing attention to themselves.
They appear everywhere, from a talk show to the farthest corner of the world. In most scenarios nobody pays attention to them, but they don’t stop supporting your privacy.
The show also references Prince Harry’s 2022 memoir (which is full of controversial statements), only in the animated show it’s called ‘Waagh’ instead of ‘Spare’.
Very much in style, “South Park” makes plenty of jokes and allusions to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. He even identifies the “prince’s wife” as “a girl, an actress, an influence and a victim” and she replies “yeah, that’s totally me.”
Could Harry and Meghan Sue ‘South Park’?
According to sources in the British media “The Spectator”, Meghan Markle is very “upset and shocked” by the way she was portrayed in “South Park”.
But despite not being happy with the cartoon’s content, she refuses to watch the entire episode, sources say.
According to royal commentator Neil Sean for Fox News, “there could be legal ramifications” as a result of this sensational “South Park” episode:
