### Royal Reboot: Harry and Meghan in the Comedy Crosshairs

In the wake of their departure from royal duties in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have found themselves at the center of a comedic storm.

The British television show *Spitting Image* has taken a satirical jab at the couple, using exaggerated puppets to portray their lives in a humorous light.

In one memorable scene, Harry is seen contemplating whether a box of crowns can be recycled, while Meghan suggests tossing them onto the goodwill pile.

This playful mockery encapsulates their shift away from royal responsibilities.

American late-night host Jimmy Fallon has also joined in on the fun, frequently using his platform to poke fun at the duo.

After Harry's promotional interview for his memoir, *Spare*, Fallon quipped about how it was yet another chance to hear their story.

He humorously noted that anyone who missed their extensive interviews and documentaries might find this one enlightening.

His comments underline a growing sentiment that the couple's narrative feels repetitive, as if they are stuck on a loop.

Channel 4's *The Windsors*, a satirical take on the British royal family, has not shied away from including Harry and Meghan in its storyline either.

In a particularly amusing scene, Harry offers a producer a knighthood in exchange for helping Meghan find work.

Her character, visibly upset, insists she wants to achieve success based on her own merits rather than her royal connections.

This moment highlights the ongoing tension between their royal past and their aspirations for independence.

The trend of openly mocking Harry and Meghan has gained significant traction, especially after a series of high-profile events.

Criticism of the couple used to be more subdued until figures like Bill Simmons began to speak out more bluntly, labeling them “effing grifters.” This shift in tone marked a turning point, allowing for a more open and widespread critique of their actions and choices.

The couple's public image took a hit following incidents like the New York City car chase and their portrayal in shows like *South Park*.

These events fueled the media's appetite for satire, making Harry and Meghan regular subjects of humor.
