Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Face Celebrity Ridicule: Is This Uncharted Territory?
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, find themselves in unfamiliar territory as they become the target of mockery and criticism from fellow celebrities.
Recently, South Park, Rebel Wilson, and Chris Rock have taken aim at the royal couple.
Speculation is now rife that the Oscars ceremony on Sunday may feature jokes at their expense.
Joe Elvin, host of Palace Confidential, commented on the situation, stating that while the couple may be accustomed to media criticism, being ridiculed by celebrities is a whole new experience for them.
Richard Eden, the Daily Mail's diary editor, responded to the situation, suggesting that the couple may not find this amusing, especially considering Chris Rock's remarks, which are likely to sting.
Harry and Meghan have prided themselves on their relationship with the black community and their involvement with the Black Lives Matter movement.
They were particularly proud of the civil rights award they received from the NAACP, which was featured in their Netflix series.
To have Chris Rock, a comedian known for his predominantly black audience, laugh at them could be deeply hurtful to the couple.
Miss Elvin acknowledged that this criticism will undoubtedly sting a bit.
Comedian Chris Rock, in his recently released Netflix show titled Selective Outrage, took aim at the Duchess of Sussex.
Rock expressed his frustration with some of the allegations Meghan Markle has made against the royal family since she and Prince Harry stepped down in 2020.
He challenged her claims of never having researched her husband or his family before entering the royal fold.
In his show, Rock exclaimed, “It's the royal family, you didn't google these mother effers.
What the eff is she talking about?
She didn't know.
That's like marrying into the Budweiser family and going, ‘they drink a lot.'”
PR guru Matt Yanofsky, speaking to the Mirror, highlighted that Meghan and Harry are no longer untouchable in the United States due to the recent wave of mockery.
He believes that the recent South Park episode, which ridiculed the exiled royals, has given people permission to openly make fun of the couple.
Yanofsky pointed to Chris Rock's stand-up special as another example of this trend.
He suggested that at the upcoming Oscars ceremony on March 12th in LA, big names may roast Harry and Meghan.
