Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Possible Appearance at Oscars Raises Speculation
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have yet to confirm whether they will attend this year's Oscars ceremony, but their presence, or lack thereof, is already generating buzz.
PR expert and The Moment Lab founder, Matt Yanovski, believes that the famous couple could become the target of comedic hosts due to the recent scathing South Park episode that subtly mocked them.
According to Matt, South Park has become a show deeply ingrained in pop culture.
It fearlessly addresses subjects that others shy away from.
The episode received widespread praise, with many considering it pure gold.
In the episode, a couple resembling the Royals moves in near Kyle, continuing their global privacy tour while secretly craving attention.
By satirizing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, South Park has given others permission to express their true thoughts about the couple.
This mirrors what happened after Chris Rock's stand-up special, where the once untouchable duo was no longer off-limits for criticism in the United States.
As for how they will be received at the Oscars, Matt predicts a 50-50 chance of jokes being made about the couple or even mocking them in the future.
The outcome on Sunday will undoubtedly be intriguing.
Despite selling their personal stories, the couple's decision to name their children Prince and Princess ensures that the public remains captivated by their lives.
Matt acknowledges that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are more prominent than ever, which also makes them vulnerable to jokes.
He also notes that labeling their children in such a way is a strategic branding decision.
Last week, Prince Harry and Meghan privately christened their one-year-old daughter, Lilibet, at their home in Montecito, California.
Reports suggest that several members of the royal family declined the invitation.
Among the attendees were Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, as well as Lilibet's godfather, Tyler Perry, and an unnamed godmother.
Matt believes that the royal family's snub perfectly aligns with the couple's agenda, as it fuels the narrative of family drama.
By skipping the christening, Prince Harry and Meghan have created yet another storyline about their strained relationship with the royal family.
As the anticipation builds for the 95th annual Academy Awards, all eyes will be on whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle grace the event.
If they do, they may find themselves the subject of jokes and mockery.
However, regardless of their attendance, their influence and branding decisions continue to captivate the public's attention.
