In a recent episode of Megan’s podcast, Andy Cohen offered his perspective on the controversial TV show that has everyone talking – South Park.
The host of Watch What Happens Live expressed that when you choose to enter the public eye, shows like South Park are bound to take a jab at you.
The animated series aired an episode titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour” last week, where the red-headed Prince of Canada and his wife pleaded for privacy.
The couple sought seclusion but ended up in South Park during their tour.
The episode also featured a funeral scene for the Queen of Canada, who bore a striking resemblance to Queen Elizabeth.
Additionally, the Prince’s book, titled “Waaah,” shared similarities with Prince Harry’s memoir, “Spare.”
However, Cohen downplayed the significance of South Park’s portrayal, stating, “I mean, the South Park thing I don’t think is that deep.”
He acknowledged that being in the public eye comes with its hazards, and South Park is just one of them.
The final episode of Megan’s podcast, Archetypes, focused on settling scores with Hollywood men who had rejected her.
Judd Apatow, Trevor Noah, and Andy Cohen were the guests, representing different backgrounds.
Cohen, a gay white man and creator of the Housewives franchise, was also known for his late-night show, which Meghan had never been invited to.
In a video titled “The Royal Grift,” it was claimed that Meghan made Cohen uncomfortable for not featuring her on his show and not remembering their encounters.
Meghan mentioned meeting Cohen at a joint USA Bravo event when she was a huge fan.
They crossed paths again during a visit to WWHL with Gabriel Macht, her Suits co-star, in 2015, although she wasn’t an official guest.
During an episode of his own show, Andy Cohen Live, the TV star addressed Meghan’s remarks.
He empathized with her feelings, understanding why she would bring up the issue.
“I understand, you know, you never forget how you were treated,” Cohen stated.
He admitted that Meghan had even attended a taping of WWHL before, which made him feel somewhat worse.
“She was gleeful in telling me, I have to say,” he added.
Cohen went on to acknowledge that not featuring Meghan on his show was a significant mistake and that he would now be eager to have her as a guest.
Despite the less than flattering portrayal of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on South Park, PR expert and GoUp founder Edward Coram James believes they should feel honored to have been included.
He stated that being made fun of on one of the world’s most famous animated programs signifies their topical relevance in international public discourse.
“To a degree, they should be flattered,” Coram James expressed.
The royal couple joins a long list of esteemed figures who have been parodied on the show, proving their prominence in popular culture.
In conclusion, Andy Cohen shared his thoughts on South Park’s depiction of Harry and Meghan, emphasizing that it comes with the territory of being in the public eye.
Meanwhile, Meghan revealed her disappointment at not being invited to Cohen’s show in the past.
Cohen acknowledged his mistake and expressed regret, stating that he would now eagerly welcome Meghan as a guest.
Despite the satire on South Park, experts believe the royal couple should see it as a testament to their relevance in global conversations.
