Meghan Markle is “upset and shocked” by the episode about Harry and Alia that came out in “South Park”
Prince William is supposed to laugh at this episode, but the former royal couple and it seems that their lawyers are even considering a lawsuit against the animated comedy show
The Duchess of Sussex apparently doesn’t think “South Park” is funny.
“Comedy Central” aired an episode called “The Worldwide Privacy Tour” mocking Meghan Markle, 41, and Prince Harry, 38, and their decision to move to the US to seek a private life – and that Markle allegedly did not Satisfied with that.
According to the reports, the duchess is “upset and shocked” by the episode and “bothered by ‘South Park’ but refuses to watch all of it,” a source told The Spectator.
A royal commentator even suggested that the episode could lead to a lawsuit
“Their legal team is keeping an eye on the episode to see what’s wrong, and what could turn into something more sinister.”
“It seems like that’s their modus operandi instead of laughing it off, enjoying the moment and showing the world they get the joke,” royal reporter Neil Shawn told Fox News, adding that the “South Park” creators have yet to hear from the couple’s lawyers.
Markle’s representatives did not respond to The New York Post’s requests to comment on the ongoing controversy – but a source close to the former actress condemned the new claims as ‘rubbish’.
Meanwhile, “South Park” did not specifically name the couple and opened the episode with a disclaimer that all the characters are fictional – even if they are based on real people.
The characters in the episode – which fans have pointed out are identical to the royal couple, even wearing the same clothes – are described as Canadian royalty who move to a fictional town for privacy and are called “The Prince and His Wife”.
In the classic animated comedy, the “fictional” couple plead for privacy while drawing attention to themselves, including one scene where they go on the talk show “Good Morning Canada” to promote the prince’s new book, “Waaagh” — a comic riff on Prince Harry’s real memoir, “Spare”.
They enter their appearance on the talk show holding signs demanding privacy before discussing the autobiography.
The fake talk show host asks the prince, “Isn’t it true, sir, that your dodgy wife has her own TV show and hangs out with celebrities and does fashion magazines?” – referring to Markle’s time on the TV show “Suits”.
“Well, I just think there are people who would say that your Instagram-loving dog wife actually doesn’t want her privacy,” adds the host.
The prince replies: “How dare you, my lord! My dog-loving Instagram-loving wife has always wanted her privacy!”
“We just want to be normal people – all this attention is so hard,” the prince says in the episode after admitting he “hates” journalists.
Later, the couple board a shiny private jet and go on their “privacy world tour,” eventually settling in South Park, where they believe “people will think we’re really serious about wanting to be normal.”
Ironically, the prince and his wife informed the residents of South Park that they wanted privacy by hanging posters over their new home.
Markle may not be too fond of the episode, but royal experts think Prince William will find it entertaining.
“William, I’m sure, doesn’t watch ‘South Park,'” an insider told Good Morning Britain on Friday.
“But I estimate that one of his friends will see it on social networks and send a video”.
The Buckingham Palace whisperer continued about William,
“I think he must have seen it and had a crazy smile on his face[כשצפה]”.
