Last night, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex found themselves at the center of satire as the American news and political satire talk show, Gutfeld, aired a segment that humorously targeted the couple, affectionately referred to as the Grifters or the Harkles.

Hosted by Greg Gutfeld, the show has been entertaining American audiences with its unique blend of news and political satire since 2015, making it the perfect platform to take a light-hearted jab at the dynamic duo.

The segment kicked off with a bang, featuring a Hollywood Reporter article that didn’t hold back in its assessment.

According to the article, the Harkles were among the biggest losers in Tinseltown in 2023.

George Murdoch, also known as Tyrus, a frequent guest on the show, didn’t hesitate to share his straightforward perspective.

He labeled the Harkles as “deist royals,” emphasizing that their royal endeavors are of little interest to the public.

Tyrus even went as far as to suggest that it’s nearly impossible to be as big of a loser as they are, jokingly remarking that even a video of waves crashing on the beach would attract more attention than their ventures.

Tyrus, a wrestler with a biracial background, appears to have little patience for what he perceives as the couple’s whining and complaining.

And he isn’t alone in his sentiment.

Another guest couldn’t resist poking fun at the Harkles, pointing out that even a video of a fireplace garnered more popularity than their show.

Andrew, a TV chef, added his own input, sharing his experience of having Meghan as a guest on his show featuring junior chefs.

He described her as pleasant during her appearance but then revealed an interesting twist.

As soon as she met Harry, the texts and calls mysteriously stopped, as if she had become too preoccupied with her newfound royal responsibilities.

Shannon, yet another guest, chimed in with her take on the matter.

As an avid watcher of Hallmark movies, where the typical plot revolves around a girl finding her prince, Shannon noticed a peculiar absence in these films.

There isn’t a single movie where the girl marries the prince and then proceeds to beg him to give it all up.

This humorous observation sheds light on Meghan’s journey from Hollywood to royalty.

The laughter and banter continued for a solid five minutes, including some rather colorful comments about Harry allowing Meghan to have control.

It was all in good fun, as satire often is.

However, beneath the surface lies a more significant issue – the lack of discretion.

Meghan and Harry built their brand partially on breaching private confidences and sharing personal stories.

This has led to significant criticism and caused many in Hollywood to keep their distance.

After all, in showbiz, discretion and trust are paramount, and once they are lost, it becomes challenging to regain them.

In 2023, the Harkles have experienced a considerable fall from grace.

Just a year ago, they were treated with kid gloves, but South Park opened the floodgates, and public opinion turned against them.

This is quite surprising, considering their reported £88 million Netflix deal.

Shockingly, their Netflix documentary about their departure from royal life failed to gain popularity compared to none other than Peppa Pig.

The first two seasons of the beloved children’s cartoon accumulated over 140 million hours of viewing time combined, while the Harkles’ documentary managed only 62 million hours in the first half of 2023.

To put it into perspective, 60 million hours of viewing is equivalent to one million people watching a one-hour episode.

Netflix recently disclosed these figures after facing criticism for a lack of transparency regarding their content’s performance.

It is worth noting that the political thriller, The Night Agent, claimed the title of the most-watched Netflix show in the first half of the year, with a staggering 812 million hours viewed in just three months.

In conclusion, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have become the subjects of satire, providing viewers with laughter and a fresh perspective on their intriguing lives.

However, their royal brand continues to face challenges in the highly competitive world of entertainment.

Bravo to Gutfeld and his guests for delivering a dose of humor and shedding light on the ever-fascinating Harkles.
