Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s legal action on South Park?

When asked if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are considering to file a lawsuit over the recent South Park episode that took a dig on them, a spokesperson for the couple said, “It’s all frankly nonsense. Totally baseless, boring reports.”

South Park episode on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

The South Park episode on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry aired last Wednesday. It was titled ‘Worldwide Privacy Tour’, and focused on a ‘prince of Canada’ and his wife who settle in a fictional town of Colorado. The similarities between the caricatures and the royal couple are hard to miss with the prince’s ginger hair and his wife’s pink dress like the one Meghan wore at Trooping the Colour in 2018. The episode went on to mock the cartoon couple’s repeated pleas for privacy while they take travelled the world carrying signs like ‘We want our privacy’, and ‘stop looking at us’. In one scene, the show’s popular host even says “Look Kyle, we kind of just don’t care about some dumb prince and his stupid wife.”
