The long-running animated series South Park has taken aim at royal couple Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in recent days, mocking their perceived hypocrisy.
The episode, which aired February 15 and is titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour,” follows the fictional “Prince of Canada and his wife as they try to find privacy and seclusion in a small mountain town.”
The episode features the royals appearing on the set of the show Good Morning Canada, waving signs declaring they want privacy.
When the show’s host questions the sincerity of the claim, the prince replies, “How dare you sir! My Instagram loving b***h wife has always wanted her privacy.
In a teaser released ahead of the episode, Kyle Broflovski complains to his friends about how tired he is of hearing from the royal couple.

“It’s really driving me crazy, I’m sick of hearing from them. But I can’t escape them, they’re everywhere,” says Kyle.
Although no official response has been released, royal expert Kinsey Schofield said in an interview with TalkTV that Markle was “excited” by the episode.
Just finished watching @South Park Follow the World Wide Privacy Tour and I was stunned. It contained hilarious comments, yet had a really deep message about being yourself and not obsessing over becoming a brand. That part about Meghan’s “emptiness” was fabulous too! pic.twitter.com/yKYM2GSidK

Outspoken American news personality Megyn Kelly said that Markel’s alleged political ambitions may have taken a serious hit.
“I think that’s a statement that they jumped the shark, they’re not loved, and their hopes of running for president have all been dashed,” she explained on her podcast, The Megyn Kelly Show. “That does not happen. When ‘South Park’ turns you on, there’s no turning back.”
Harry and Meghan are facing mounting criticism after a recent six-part Netflix mini-series became the platform’s biggest documentary debut ever, sending shockwaves through Britain’s royal family.
The couple ended royal life dramatically and moved to California in 2020, bitterly complaining about their treatment in Britain and by the prince’s family.
A YouGov poll published in January in The Times newspaper found that just 24 percent of people now view the prince positively — down from 80 percent a decade ago — and 68 percent critically.
