In a surprising turn of events, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have become the subject of mockery in an upcoming episode of the animated adult show South Park.
The episode, titled “A Dumb Prince and His Stupid Wife,” has caused quite a stir, with a preview revealing characters Kyle and Anne expressing their frustration with the constant media coverage of the couple.
Kyle exclaims, “It’s seriously driving me crazy.
I’m sick of hearing about them, but I can’t get away from them.
They’re everywhere.
In my beep face.”
Anne responds dismissively, stating, “Look Kyle, we just don’t care about some dumb prince and his stupid wife.”
This latest incident has led royal expert Daniela Elsa to brand Harry and Meghan as a laughing stock.
In an article for News.com Australia, Elsa writes, “Mark your diaries, note down the date, jot this in the history books.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have literally become a laughing stock.”
She highlights that this is just one of many recent embarrassments for the couple.
During the Grammys, Trevor Noah made a joke about James Corden’s frostbitten p-nis, indirectly referencing Harry.
Additionally, Chelsea Handler took a jab at Harry during the Critics Choice Awards, making light of his ongoing discussions about his frostbitten p-nis.
Elsa concludes that the Sussexes are now seen less as powerful figures and more as punchlines.
Elsa further expresses her uncertainty about the couple’s future, despite Harry’s successful book and Meghan’s highly popular Spotify podcast.
She believes that their frequent on-camera rants and attacks on Harry’s family have made them objects of both fascination and mockery.
This may have resulted in them becoming too divisive to receive public support from A-list celebrities.
Elsa cites a moment from the Netflix docuseries “Harry and Meghan,” released in December, where Meghan receives a text message from Beyonce.
She questions why stars like Beyonce are no longer willing to publicly align themselves with the Duke and Duchess.
Since their move to the US in early 2020, Harry and Meghan have enjoyed the unwavering support of actor and producer Tyler Perry.
Perry provided them with a home and security during their initial weeks in California and was even chosen as the godfather to their second child.
He also appeared in their biographical docuseries alongside Abigail Spencer, a former co-star of Meghan’s.
Recently, the couple attended the wedding vow renewal ceremony of Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, rubbing shoulders with other A-listers.
However, this high-profile event coincides with several programs on US television that mock Harry and Meghan.
While their memoir “Spare” has achieved great success in the publishing world, selling 3.2 million copies worldwide in its first week, some episodes detailed by Harry have faced ridicule.
The Jimmy Kimmel show, for instance, aired a sketch in January parodying the alleged altercation between Harry and his brother William, as recounted in the book.
Two actors dressed as Prince physically attacked each other, adding a touch of humor to the situation.
In conclusion, Harry and Meghan find themselves in an uncomfortable position as they become the subjects of mockery in popular culture.
Their once powerful status has been overshadowed by ridicule, leaving many to question their future trajectory.
While they still have their loyal supporters, it seems that the couple’s polarizing actions and public feuds have made it challenging for them to gain widespread public backing.
Only time will tell how they navigate these turbulent waters and whether they can reclaim their influence and respect.
