Meghan Markle 'Upset And Overwhelmed' After 'South Park' Takes Brutal Aim At Her And Harry

The ex-royals are considering taking legal action against the long-running animated comedy.

Never ones to shy away from controversy, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone took several swings at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in a recent episode.

The episode spoofed the couple's wish for privacy by having them create elaborate spectacles to spread that message, like a memoir Spare, I mean Waaagh and a Netflix special.


One of the show's main characters Kyle called the husband and wife duo the "dumb prince and his stupid wife."

"They have this huge jet parked in front of my house and they keep on wanting me to buy their book."

Later, the episode shows Markle "bossing" and nagging at the prince:

"I'm sick of hearing about them! I can't get away from them! They are in my f**king face!"

In the segment below, the former royal couple made an appearance on Good Morning Canada picketing for their privacy and voicing their distaste of journalists.

The host asked the couple:

"So, you hate journalists? And now you wrote a book that reports on the lives of the royal family?"
"... so, you're a journalist."

While a handful of viewers thought the episode was pretty harsh, former Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan tweeted it was "lethally brilliant."

Others agreed.


But one notable person did not find humor in the episode—the Duchess herself.

According to The Spectator, Markle is"upset and overwhelmed" at the portrayal of the couple, and she's "annoyed by South Park but refuses to watch it all."

In addition, GBN reported royal commentator Neil Sean confirmed the couple's legal team is investigating.

"According to sources close to the ex-royals, it appears that, like so many things with Meghan and Harry, this may have legal ramifications attached."
"Their legal team are casting an eye over the episode to see what is wrong and what could be turned into something more sinister."

The twitterverse had a lot to say about Markle's reaction.

But many don't think she stands a chance against the satirical animated series.









Markle's reps have not responded to requests to comment as of yet.

Fox News stated the couple's legal team has not confirmed whether legal action will be taken.

Tim Walz Has Epic Clapback After Nancy Mace Asks Him To Define 'Woman' During Congressional Hearing

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had a splendid response after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace attempted to claim that his support for transgender women would bar him from recognizing fraud in his state.

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
