Comedian Jimmy Carr took a jab at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during the Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2023.

In a segment discussing recent news, Carr didn’t hold back in his criticism of the couple.

He started by addressing Harry’s recent appearance in court, where he became the first British royal to give evidence in 130 years.

Carr expressed disgust at how the press has treated Harry, accusing them of manipulation, gaslighting, and control.

He then humorously questioned who the press thinks they are, Meghan?

What was interesting about Carr’s joke was the lack of disapproval from both the panel and the audience.

This reaction could be seen as a reflection of the UK’s growing frustration with the ongoing saga surrounding the couple, known as the “Harkles.”

The show also featured actor Charles Dance, who read an excerpt from a book that made fun of Harry’s frozen “todger.”

The inclusion of Dance added an extra layer of amusement to the mockery.

This is not the first time Meghan has been the target of jokes.

Carr previously made fun of her during an episode of The Last Leg.

While reviewing a documentary about Harry and Meghan, Carr jokingly criticized Meghan’s revelation that she didn’t realize Harry’s mother was Princess Diana, adding a spoiler that she dies.

Although the audience seemed uneasy, Carr continued with his humor, stating that while it’s easy to make jokes about the couple, they actually seem like very nice people.

However, he couldn’t resist another dig, sarcastically highlighting Meghan’s claim of being a lifelong feminist despite marrying a prince and giving up her job.

Carr also touched upon the couple’s request for privacy from the media.

He pointed out the irony of doing a documentary for Netflix if they truly wanted to keep their lives private, suggesting they should have chosen Britbox instead.

The audience responded with much louder laughter to this punchline.

While Meghan has been vocal about her dislike for negative media attention, Omid Scobie, a royal commentator, claimed that Harry can take comedic commentary in stride.

Scobie discussed Harry’s reaction to the public’s response to his memoir, Spare, during an interview promoting Endgame.

According to Scobie, Harry understands that certain aspects of his book were ripe for jokes and late-night monologues.

Being included in such humor is seen as a sign of success for public figures and celebrities.

Scobie also mentioned a controversial anecdote in Harry’s memoir that caused a stir online.

Fans were shocked to read about Harry suffering from frostbite on his genitals.

Despite the uproar, Scobie stated that he hadn’t heard any regrets from Harry regarding the inclusion of this story.

It seems that Harry and those around him were confident in sharing all aspects of his life, even the more embarrassing ones.

However, not everyone shares Scobie’s perspective on the couple’s reputation.

Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly predicted that the recent South Park episode mocking the Sussexes would have a significant impact on their public image.

Kelly suggested that this could harm Meghan’s rumored aspirations of running for president, stating that when South Park turns against you, it’s difficult to recover.

In conclusion, Jimmy Carr’s jokes about Harry and Meghan on the Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2023 added to the growing public ridicule surrounding the couple.

While some find humor in their situation, others believe it could negatively affect their reputation.

Only time will tell how the Harkles navigate these ongoing challenges.
