Meghan Markle and Prince Harry find themselves in unfamiliar waters as they become the target of mockery from fellow celebrities, recent reports suggest.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, residing in Montecito, California, have come under fire from the likes of South Park, Rebel Wilson, and Chris Rock in recent weeks.
Speculation is rife that the couple could be on the receiving end of jokes at the upcoming Oscars ceremony on Sunday.
During a segment on Palace Confidential, host Joe Elvin highlighted the unprecedented nature of the criticism directed at the royal couple by celebrities.
The Daily Mail’s diary editor, Richard Eden, expressed his belief that Meghan and Harry may not take kindly to the jabs, especially the remarks made by Chris Rock.
He noted their previous efforts to connect with the black community and their involvement in movements like Black Lives Matter, suggesting that being laughed at by a predominantly black audience could be particularly hurtful for them.
Elvin acknowledged that the celebrity backlash might sting a bit for Meghan and Harry.
Comedian Chris Rock, in his latest Netflix special titled Selective Outrage, did not hold back in his critique of the Duchess of Sussex.
Rock questioned Meghan’s claims about her lack of prior knowledge regarding the royal family before marrying into it, humorously comparing it to marrying into a family known for heavy drinking without prior awareness.
PR expert Matt Yanofsky shared his insights with the Mirror, emphasizing that Meghan and Harry’s reputation in the US has taken a hit due to the recent wave of mockery aimed at them.
He pointed out that the recent South Park episode mocking the exiled royals has paved the way for others to openly jest about the couple.
Yanofsky suggested that by becoming subjects of satire, Meghan and Harry have opened themselves up to public scrutiny, as seen in Chris Rock’s comedy special.
Yanofsky hinted at the possibility of the royal couple facing further ridicule from prominent figures at the upcoming Oscars ceremony scheduled for March 12th in Los Angeles.
The anticipation is high for how Meghan and Harry will navigate this new phase of heightened public scrutiny in the wake of celebrity mockery.
