South Park Mocks Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Privacy Tour
The Sussexes have been dealt a severe blow as they become the target of South Park's satire.
In a recent episode titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour,” the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were mercilessly ridiculed, sparking concerns that their reputation may never recover.
Renowned journalist Megyn Kelly weighed in on the matter, stating that when South Park takes aim at public figures, it becomes nearly impossible for them to bounce back.
The show's mockery is seen as a significant blow to the couple, with Kelly suggesting that their aspirations, such as Meghan's reported hopes of running for president, have been dashed.
Although the characters in the episode are not explicitly named as Harry and Meghan, it is evident that they are the intended targets.
The storyline revolves around the couple's move to the US in search of privacy.
However, their quest for seclusion is contradicted by their eagerness to appear on television to promote their book, Wa, which bears a striking resemblance to Harry's memoir, Spare.
In the episode, the Prince expresses his frustration with the media, stating, “We just want to be normal people.
All this attention is so hard.”
This statement is met with ridicule as they are called out for their contradictory actions and promptly march off with signs demanding privacy.
This is not the first time South Park has taken a jab at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's worldwide privacy tour.
The animated comedy series has made numerous references to the couple throughout its latest season.
The jokes revolve around the couple's conflicting desire for privacy and their willingness to share intimate details of their lives through interviews, books, and their Netflix series.
The South Park version of Prince Harry promotes his book, Wa, which is a clear parody of Harry's actual memoir, Spare.
The episode also features a talk show appearance where he holds up a sign demanding privacy, while Meghan's character insists that people should stop looking at them.
The episode includes scenes where characters express their exhaustion with the constant media coverage surrounding Harry and Meghan.
One character remarks, “I'm sick of hearing about them.
I can't get away from them.
They're everywhere.”
This sentiment reflects the public's growing weariness with the couple's high-profile lifestyle.
In another interesting development, there seems to be a rift between Sir Elton John and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Elton John, a close friend of Princess Diana, has been supportive of Harry and Meghan in the past, even providing them with the use of his private jet.
However, rumors suggest that the couple may have taken advantage of this generosity, leading to a falling out between Elton and the Sussexes.
According to reports, Harry and Meghan sent a video message to congratulate Elton on his final tour.
Meghan, as usual, took the lead in the message, possibly to maintain her access to the private jet and to be in front of the camera.
However, some sources claim that Harry appeared uncomfortable during the video, and Meghan seemed to be closely observing his body language.
Insiders allege that the falling out between Elton John and the Sussexes stems from a revelation that Elton had been bugging his private jet.
It is rumored that the couple made disparaging comments about their friendship with Elton, suggesting that it was purely for PR purposes and free travel.
These allegations, along with the tension revealed in Harry's memoir, have strained their relationship.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seem to have their sights set on Hollywood.
According to reports, the couple plans to leverage their connections in the entertainment industry to boost their brand.
Living just 90 minutes away from Hollywood, they are excited about the potential opportunities that could arise from collaborating with influential celebrities.
Sources reveal that the couple recently attended Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's vow renewal ceremony, alongside other A-listers.
This invitation is seen as a significant milestone for Harry and Meghan, as they believe it could open doors to exciting collaborations and projects.
With the recent hiring of Hollywood dealmaker Adam Lilling, who is known for creating profitable opportunities, the Sussexes are actively exploring their options.
Meghan, in particular, is expected to return to television, possibly in a TV series rather than a long-term commitment.
The couple's Netflix series and Harry's memoir have already demonstrated their appeal to American audiences, making a return to TV a viable move for Meghan.
As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex navigate their post-royal life, they are determined to make strategic moves to enhance their brand and secure their place in the entertainment industry.
While some may question their motives, it is clear that they are determined to make the most of their newfound freedom and opportunities.
