South Park’s Hilarious Take on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Sparks Controversy
The latest episode of the popular animated show South Park has caused quite a stir with its scathing satire of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour,” the spoof has left viewers in stitches with its clever parody.
In the episode, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex appear on a fictional chat show called Good Morning Canada, holding up placards that read, “We want our privacy, stop looking at us.”
South Park is renowned for its irreverent commentary on popular culture, and this episode is no exception.
The chat show host interrogates Prince Harry about his book, Wag, which closely resembles his real-life memoir, Spare.
The host accuses the prince of becoming a journalist himself, despite once claiming to despise them.
Frustrated by the attention that comes with being a royal, Prince Harry interrupts the host, while the host argues that the couple does not truly desire privacy.
This leads to the prince and princess storming off the set.
The remainder of the episode follows the couple as they relocate to South Park and become neighbors of the main character, Cal.
The episode mocks the Sussexes' attempt to escape the media and enjoy a normal life with Cal, humorously referring to them as the “dumb prince” and his “stupid wife.”
While the episode has elicited laughter from many viewers, not everyone is pleased with the portrayal.
Piers Morgan, the controversial journalist and former host of Good Morning Britain, praised the episode on Twitter, calling it “lethally brilliant” and claiming it reflects how most Americans feel about the couple.
However, some Twitter users questioned whether Morgan would endorse an episode that parodied Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding.
Despite the mixed response, South Park continues to push boundaries with its no-holds-barred approach to comedy.
The show has a long history of satirizing public figures, and it shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.
As for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, it remains to be seen whether they will respond to the latest portrayal or simply dismiss it as another example of the media's obsession with their private lives.
“The Worldwide Privacy Tour” aired on Wednesday and will be broadcast on UK Comedy Central at 10 pm.
Fans of the show are eagerly anticipating what promises to be another classic episode.
