Prince Harry’s Attempt to Ban South Park Episode Mocking Him and Meghan Markle
In a recent episode of the popular adult cartoon South Park, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle were the subjects of a scathing satirical portrayal.
Titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour,” the episode did not explicitly mention the royal couple but featured characters resembling them, known as the Prince and Princess of Canada.
The episode humorously highlighted their contradictory actions of seeking privacy while actively drawing attention to themselves.
The episode quickly gained popularity among fans, revealing a widespread weariness towards Harry and Meghan's continuous public presence.
However, it seems that Prince Harry was not amused by the portrayal and allegedly attempted to have the episode banned.
Reports suggest that he reached out to MTV studio Big Wigs in an effort to block the show, displaying a clear disregard for freedom of speech beyond his own interests.
According to inside sources, Prince Harry made desperate calls to the producers of South Park before the episode aired, hoping to prevent its release.
However, his attempts were met with refusal, indicating a lack of respect for him within the industry.
It appears that the once-revered prince has lost the admiration and influence he once held.
The episode commenced with the news of the Queen of Canada's death, with the Prince and Princess of Canada attending the funeral.
Their disrespectful behavior towards the monarchy led to other royals booing them, culminating in a character even farting on the face of the Princess of Canada.
The storyline then follows the couple as they embark on a worldwide privacy tour, carrying signs that read “we want our privacy” and “stop looking at us.”
This obvious dig at Harry and Meghan's move to America due to privacy concerns was deemed well-deserved by royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams.
Fitzwilliams acknowledged the merciless and often hilarious humor of South Park, asserting that the show's portrayal of the royals' eccentric behavior was justified.
He argued that the couple should have anticipated such treatment after publicly attacking the royal family.
Their constant media appearances, juxtaposed with claims of privacy, have eroded their popularity to some extent.
The episode further depicts the couple's relocation to South Park in search of a normal life.
They make an appearance on Good Morning Canada, holding up signs advocating for privacy.
However, when the host points out that Prince Harry is also a journalist due to his upcoming memoir, tensions rise and the couple storms off the show.
The irony of the prince's dual roles as a royal guest and a journalist is not lost on the audience.
Their move to South Park has not been well-received by the locals, particularly their new neighbor, Kyle, who complains about the massive jet parked in front of his house and their persistent attempts to sell their books.
Meanwhile, in the school dining hall, their classmates discuss the prince and his wife, with one student expressing frustration at their constant presence.
Royal expert Kinsey Schofield believes that being ridiculed in such a manner will not bode well for Meghan's political aspirations.
In the episode, South Park portrays her as a sorority girl and an influencer, even recreating some of her provocative magazine poses.
Schofield argues that these depictions may upset Meghan, especially considering her associations with high-profile political figures like Kamala Harris, Stacey Abrams, and Hillary Clinton.
This mockery could hinder her future ambitions.
In conclusion, the South Park episode mocking Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has garnered significant attention.
While the couple attempted to have it banned, their efforts were in vain.
The episode's portrayal of their contradictory actions and relentless pursuit of privacy while seeking the limelight has resonated with many viewers.
Whether this mockery will impact their public image and Meghan's political aspirations remains to be seen.
