Harry and Meghan Markle: From Royalty to Ridicule

Harry and Meghan Markle, once revered as members of the royal family, have now become the subject of ridicule and humiliation, according to a royal expert.

Their latest embarrassment comes in the form of an episode from the animated adult show South Park titled “A Dumb Prince and His Stupid Wife.”

In a preview for the yet-to-be-released episode, character Kyle expresses his frustration, saying, “It's seriously driving me crazy.

I'm sick of hearing about them, but I can't get away from them.

They're everywhere.

In my beep face.”

Anne, another character, responds dismissively, stating, “Look Kyle, we just don't care about some dumb prince and his stupid wife.”

Royal expert Daniela Elsa, writing for News.com Australia, views this episode as evidence that Harry and Meghan have become a laughing stock.

She emphasizes the significance of this development, stating, “Mark your diaries, note down the date, jot this in the history books.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have literally become a laughing stock.”

Elsa points out that this is just one of several recent high-profile embarrassments for the couple.

During the Grammys, Trevor Noah made a comment about James Corden that indirectly referenced Harry and Meghan.

He remarked that Corden was living proof that a man can move from London to LA without constantly discussing his frostbitten p-nis.

Additionally, Chelsea Handler took a jab at Harry during the Critics Choice Awards, humorously noting that the show “Dharma” became highly popular on Netflix, accumulating a billion hours of watch time, which apparently is the same amount of time we'll have to endure Prince Harry talking about his frostbitten p-nis.

Elsa concludes that the Sussexes are transitioning from power players to punchlines.

Elsa further observes that it is becoming increasingly challenging to predict the couple's next move, despite Harry's successful book and Meghan's highly popular Spotify podcast.

Their frequent on-camera rants and attacks on the royal family have made them objects of fascination and mockery simultaneously.

This has potentially alienated them from receiving public support from A-list celebrities.

Referencing a moment from the Netflix docuseries “Harry and Meghan,” which delves into their lives, romance, and struggles, Elsa questions why stars like Beyoncé are no longer willing to publicly align themselves with the Duke and Duchess.

She suggests that their aggressive PR tactics, including the Oprah interview, Netflix series, and memoir, may have made them too divisive and polarizing.

Since their move to the US in early 2020, Harry and Meghan have found unwavering support from actor and producer Tyler Perry, who provided them with a home and security during their initial weeks in California.

Perry was even chosen as the godfather to their second child.

The couple was recently seen among A-listers at Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's wedding vow renewal ceremony.

However, this high-profile invitation coincides with numerous television programs in the US that mock the Duke and Duchess.

While their memoir, “Spare,” has been a publishing success, selling 3.2 million copies worldwide in its first week, some of the episodes detailed by Harry in the book have been met with ridicule.

The Jimmy Kimmel show, for instance, featured a sketch in January that mocked the alleged altercation between Harry and William, as recounted by the Duke in his memoir.

The sketch depicted two actors dressed as Prince physically attacking each other.

In conclusion, Harry and Meghan Markle's journey from royalty to ridicule has been marked by a series of embarrassing incidents and public mockery.

Despite their attempts to maintain relevance through various media ventures, they seem to have become more divisive than ever.
