“South Park” has mercilessly mocked Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in an episode based on the exiled royals.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s decision to move across the pond in a desperate bid for privacy has been highlighted in the show’s latest episode, titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour.”
The episode, which begins with a disclaimer saying all characters — even if they’re based on real people — are fictional, centers around the couple who move to a fictional town for privacy.
“South Park” roasted royals who look exactly like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as “dumb” in an episode titled “Worldwide Privacy Tour.” Comedy CentralAnd even though the episode doesn’t explicitly name the couple, viewers noticed that the pair look exactly like the royals, and even wear the same outfits as they do.
The cheeky episode opens with Kyle’s brother Ike, who is adopted from Canada, overcome with emotion at the news that the queen of Canada is dead. The so-called queen bears a striking resemblance to the late Queen Elizabeth II, who died Sept. 8, 2022.
The prince and princess of Canada are seen attending the funeral, but are met with boos from the rest of the royals because the couple has been “bashing the Canadian monarchy.”

Elsewhere in the episode, the pair promote the prince’s new book titled “Waaagh” — which bears an uncanny resemblance to Prince Harry’s recently released memoir, “Spare.”
