Meghan Markle has been 'upset and overwhelmed' by portrayal on 'South Park' episode

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's portrayal on Wednesday's 'South Park' episode could have legal ramifications, according to royal expert
By Janelle Ash | Fox News

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry acted like 'a couple of teenagers,' palace sources allege in explosive new book

Valentine Low, who first broke the story on bullying allegations against the Duchess of Sussex, has written a new book titled "Courtiers: Intrigue, Ambition, and the Power Players Behind the House of Windsor."

Meghan Markle is reportedly not too happy with how she's been portrayed on Wednesday night's episode of the adult comedy show "South Park" titled "The Worldwide Privacy Tour."

A source told The Spectator that Markle has been "upset and overwhelmed" by the episode's release and is "annoyed by South Park but refuses to watch it all."

Though the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not directly named in the episode, it featured characters described as Canadian royalty and dubbed "the prince and his wife," which clearly parodied the couple. In the parody, the young royal couple beg for privacy while drawing attention to themselves in a spoof-like way.

The show also calls the "wife" character a "sorority girl, actress, influencer and victim," to which she replies, "Yeah, that's totally me."

The prince and his wife, who wears a dusty pink outfit that clearly resembled Markle's outfit for Trooping the Colour in 2018, also plug the prince's book — "Waaagh" — the cover of which strongly spoofs Prince Harry's bestselling memoir "Spare."

The episode is packed with jokes, innuendoes and thinly-veiled references, and it ruthlessly skewers Harry and Markle in traditional "South Park" style.

At one point during the episode, the prince and his wife make an appearance on the talk show "Good Morning Canada." The two walk in holding placards demanding privacy before sitting down to discuss the prince's new memoir.

During the talk show conversation, the host asks, clearly referring to Markle's former TV show "Suits" and career in Hollywood: "Isn't it true sir, that your questionable wife has her own TV show and hangs out with celebrities and does fashion magazines?"

He adds, "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 shouts angrily. "My Instagram-loving b---- wife has always wanted her privacy!"

Royal commentator Neil Sean said that there could be legal ramifications due to the latest episode of the comedy show.

"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 wrote. However, he did note that the creators of "South Park" have yet to receive anything.

A representative for Meghan Markle did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

That's pretty much the one guaranteed way to become a recurring character on South Park.

I don't usually, well, ever, watch South Park. But I watched this one and they didn't knock it out of the park. They knocked it out of the solar system.

I'm sure SP's lawyers went through every bit of it before it was ever released. The Whinge and the Ginge can pound sand.

FFS these people are fragile as kittens. South Park has been making fun of people for decades. Just ignore it and move on. Never in my lifetime have I had to hear the rich and the privileged complain so much about how hard they have it.

If you want to be in 'the spotlight', then you have to endure the heat. Harry and Meghan like say they want privacy and not be associated with the Royals, yet the 'work' they want to pursue, is based upon their popularity as Royals. Roll Eyes

As far as I can tell and heard, the only people who 'like' those two in the UK are far-lefties who relish the idea of an 'insider' bucking the historical norms thus encouraging the abolishment of the monarchy as a state-institution, along with media & entertainment types who salivate at drama that crosses class lines. Former Top Gear presenter and Clarkson's Farm lead Jeremy Clarkson wrote a pretty scathing commentary regarding Markle, resulting in every media and news commentator to condemn him, many pushing to have his hit Amazon show cancelled.

An image that I wish I was spared! Different strokes for different folks I guess. I just hope I can walk that fine line between holding my nose hard enough and getting a nosebleed.

They weren’t lampooned; they were harpooned, but royally.

He’s a whingeing little shite with mommy issues, and she’s well practiced at the oldest profession as a z-grade “actress”.

Yeah, it just shows how stupid they are by complaining. The South Park guys don't easily vack down from a challenge or fight.

They also just guaranteed that 10 times as many people will now watch that episode.

This official website link works, for now for me.

You can create a free 24 hour pass on cartoon network's home page (link on that page) then watch it.

Not sure that would even do it. Every time she would open her mouth, you need to put something in it to shut her up.

I kinda think that's the point. And, generally not something that the women he dated in England before her were historically typically interested in performing. Then there's that American penchant for the tradesman's entrance, but trying not to get the thread derailed or locked. So, probably the less said about that from here...

Good for South Park. I thought The Prince from two years ago was really funny. I went after all the royals (except Prince Andrew). South Park was very tame in their treatment of Harry and the Suit.
