Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly considering legal action over South Park episode

Meghan Markle has seen the latest ‘South Park’ episode that took a swing at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex aired Wednesday, and she is not pleased with the humor.

The couple in ‘The Worldwide Privacy Tour’ are a parody of the Sussexes. In the episode, a red-haired prince and his wife with long, dark hair, were introduced on a Canadian morning show as “Canadian Royalty” to promote the prince’s new book called ‘Waaagh’. The royal couple spends the episode touring the world pleading for privacy.

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle formally stepped back from their royal duties in January 2020, they were living on Vancouver Island in Canada at the time, and Prince Harry has since published a memoir, ‘Spare’.

Markle reportedly annoyed by portrayal

A royal commentator, Neil Sean, told the Spectator there may be legal ramifications for the ‘The Worldwide Privacy Tour’ episode, though the creators of ‘South Park’, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, have not received any paperwork yet.

Sean said that Markle was upset and overwhelmed by the ‘South Park’ episode and was so annoyed she wouldn’t watch the whole episode, but has had her lawyers examine it.

“[Markle is] annoyed by South Park but refuses to watch it all,” the source disclosed. “Their legal team are casting an eye over the episode to see what is wrong, and what could be turned into something more sinister.”

“This appears to be their course of action rather than laughing it off, enjoying the moment and showing the world that they get the joke,” Sean continued.

What does the episode say about the Sussexes?

In the episode, “the prince’s wife” was called a sorority girl, an actress, an influencer. The cartoon wife even wears a light pink outfit that resembles what Meghan Markle wore for a 2018 event called Trooping the Colour.

In typical ‘South Park’ fashion, the couple is relentlessly poked fun of throughout the episode, as the characters make jokes, innuendoes, and references to the real life Sussexes.

When the couple are on the morning show, the host makes a reference to the prince’s wife as an actress, with Meghan Markle being a ‘Suits’ alum.

“Isn’t it true sir, that your questionable wife has her own TV show and hangs out with celebrities and does fashion magazines?” the host questions the prince. Without waiting for an answer, he continues, “Well, I just think that some people might say that your Instagram-loving b---- wife actually doesn’t want her privacy.”

“How dare you, sir!” the prince angrily retorts. “My Instagram-loving b---- wife has always wanted her privacy!”
