According to a royal pundit, after the show made a number of negative comments about Harry and Meghan, the couple’s attorneys are “casting an eye” over the animated sitcom South Park.
In a harsh episode last week, the satirical show mocked the couple’s claims for privacy as they went on a promotional tour for the Duke’s autobiography, Spare, and their Netflix series.
The broadcast may now be subject to “legal implications” with the Sussexes’ attorneys, it has been claimed.
The series is currently being constantly monitored for any additional attacks, according to royal commentator Neil Sean, who spoke to Fox News on behalf of the pair.
‘It appears that, like so many things with Meghan and Harry, this may have legal repercussions connected,’ he said, citing people close to the ex-royals.
Their legal team is reviewing the incident to determine what is wrong and what might be transformed into something more nefarious.
The creators of South Park have not yet received any legal communication, Mr. Sean continued.
The “Prince and Princess of Canada,” a youthful royal couple who vociferously beg for privacy while drawing attention to themselves, were portrayed in last week’s program.
The red-headed prince and his wife are pictured promoting the prince’s book, Waaagh, whose cover is strikingly similar to Harry’s memoir Spare and which she is wearing the same same dusty pink ensemble that Meghan did for Trooping the Colour in 2018.
The main character Stan refers to the Sussexes’ cartoon counterparts as the “dumb prince and his stupid wife,” while Kyle complains about the luxury jet parked outside their house. The episode is full with jabs at the Sussexes.
The episode begins with Kyle’s younger brother Ike, who was adopted from Canada and is distraught about the death of the late Queen Elizabeth II resembling Canadian monarch.
The remainder of the royal family boos the Prince and Princess of Canada after they are spotted at a huge state funeral, where they are accused of disparaging the Canadian monarchy.
The couple appears on breakfast television to seek their privacy in response to the outrage.
The prince waves a sign that reads “We want solitude” as he enters the Good Morning Canada set with a book to promote, while the princess waves a sign that says “Stop looking at us.”
The host questions whether, despite detesting them, he has transformed into a journalist after covering the royal family for his new book, “Waaagh.”
The prince responds, “We just want to be normal people; all this attention is so difficult.”
The host challenges the couple, asking how real their desire for seclusion is, and the royals leave the set.
With dancing rainbows and a catchy theme song, the pair boards their private plane and takes off on a global “we want solitude” tour.
They travel to France, India, and even a field of kangaroos while stopping in Australia, all the while chanting their pro-privacy slogans to amused locals.
They finally make their home in the peaceful community of South Park, Colorado.
“People would think we’re very serious about wanting to be normal,” if we lived here.
The royals, who arrive with a drum kit and demand privacy from neighbors, get into a fight with the villagers.
When Kyle awakens one morning, he discovers that the princess-themed magazines have been spread throughout the home.
They include a cover that closely resembles The Cut magazine’s, which featured an interview with Meghan last summer on its cover.
The princess screams, “He victimized me!” when Kyle confronts the royals.
The prince immediately stands up for his wife.
He screams, “This is an injustice!” We’ll see how he handles my blue penis, I guess.
This seems to be a reference to a frostbite incident that is described in Harry’s autobiography, Spare.
The prince and princess seek assistance from a marketing firm with an offensive name to safeguard their privacy.
The prince explains, “There’s this awful spy that lives across the street from us.”
According to the branding manager, the princess has a file on him that she made years ago.
He informs her, “I have your brand already: Sorority girl, actor, influencer, and victim.”
The prince will be known as a “Royal prince, millionaire, globetrotter, and victim.”
The prince suddenly realizes that he doesn’t want to be a brand while still inside the agency.
The Canadian prince says, “Trying to transform ourselves into a brand only turned us into things.”
‘We can just live a normal life again, no more magazines and Netflix series,’
He gets up to go and makes his way to the door, but his wife is still inside the branding firm.
He exclaims, “Come on honey, we don’t need this place.” ‘Honey?’
Alone, the prince departs. When Kyle returns, his pals invite him to go outside and play. When the prince finally shows up, he asks if he can join in and then pulls out his drum set.
Harry and Meghan’s reps have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
from the Pope to Bill Gates During the course of its 26 episodes, South Park has parodied dozens of well-known figures, proving that nobody is beyond bounds.
Since its premiere in 1997, the animated comedy South Park has become a mainstay on television all over the world.
The show’s no-holds-barred brand of comedy has recently turned its attention to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who join a long list of famous people and taboo subjects that have been the subject of the show’s focus over the past 26 years.
Since the very first episode, “Cartman Gets an Anal Probe,” Colorado schoolkids Eric Cartman, Kyle Broflovski, Stan Marsh, Kenny McCormick, and Butters Stotch have shocked audiences with their obscenity.
Yet, the characters have also given the show’s creators, Matt Parker and Trey Stone, a sandbox setting in which to parody, lampoon, and examine well-known individuals and aspects of popular culture.
The show, which includes everyone from Bill Gates to the Pope in their absurd exploits, has drawn both praise and criticism. It was banned in China for the CCP-critical episode “Band in China,” and it has been targeted by zealots for its depiction of religious leaders.
Despite lawsuits, the show has largely been able to stave off opposition thanks to First Amendment rights that guarantee free speech in the US. 26 years later, the show’s creators are still going strong despite the reaction.
MailOnline recalls some of the most well-known figures the program has parodied through the years.
Tim Burton
In 2005, Tom Cruise made his television debut in the now infamous episode “Trapped in the Closet.”
The creators of the show chose to satirize Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, among other religions, and the episode mocked the actor’s affiliation with the Church of Scientology.
In the episode, Cruise locks himself in a closet and won’t come out; John Travolta and R Kelly subsequently join him.
The Scientologists and famous adherents threaten legal action when Stan calls the church a fraud. As the show comes to a close, the final titles merely mention “John Smith” and “Jane Smith,” making fun of the church’s history of litigation. Stan challenges them.
As was expected, the episode caused controversy, and Cruise allegedly tried to have it taken off the air. In retaliation, the creators put him in the landmark episode #200, where Cruise and numerous other celebrities the show ridiculed sought vengeance against the writers.
As a result of one incident leading to another, Cruise threatens to sue South Park unless they assist him in meeting the Prophet Muhammad.
The kids drag him across town in a bear outfit so as not to portray the Prophet. The episode generated more criticism from viewers, and the show’s makers were threatened with violence because of the portrayal.
Yeezy West
Trey and Matt have also used their animation stick on Kanye West.
A character modeled after Kanye was bewildered since he was the only one who did not understand the play on words between the words “fishsticks” and “fish d**ks” in the 2009 episode “Fishsticks,” which featured the singer.
The next year, Kanye, who is portrayed as selfish and overly sensitive, accepted the criticism well and included a South Park soundtrack clip in his song “Gone.”
In 2013, South Park shown less affection for him and portrayed him as a conceited hobbit attempting to rule Kim Kardashian.
Jinping, Xi
The 2019 season of South Park featured an episode titled “Band in China” that made fun of Chinese censorship.
The program also examined some of the ways in which American corporations and artists disregarded their moral commitments in order to get access to the rich Chinese markets.
Randy Marsh encounters Winnie the Pooh and Piglet while incarcerated in China for marijuana sales. These characters had previously been prohibited due to memes that compared CCP leader Xi Jinping to a bear.
The spoof makes reference to a real-life Chinese rule that forbade comparisons of Xi to Pooh in memes in 2018.
Due to the airing of its episode, “Band in China,” South Park was prohibited in China.
Hillary and Donald
It’s still unclear exactly what South Park’s political philosophies are. The authors do not follow a rigid party line and have been known to mock and examine everyone from the left to the right, both domestically and overseas.
They had to deal with the 2016 U.S. election eventually, which they claimed was funnier than anything they could have imagined and made satire challenging to write.
Mr. Garrison, a local teacher, served as a stand-in for Trump in the program. Trump, who was fed up with Canadians immigrating to the United States, fought a new wave of political correctness to attract support.
In the drama, Garrison changes his mind and tries to ruin his candidacy, but Hillary Clinton ‘gets in the way’ and unintentionally boosts Garrison’s popularity.
Both were criticized fairly and were given the nicknames “T**d Sandwich” and “Big Douche” by the media throughout the show.
Jennifer Spears
Back in 2002, when the South Park episode “Britney’s New Look” presented the singer as a caricature and made fun of her alleged fixation with appearance, Britney Spears came under fire from the show’s writers.
Six years later, Parker and Stone published a follow-up that portrayed Spears as the target of media abuse. The South Park kids make an effort to protect the artist from the photographers.
Spears was one of the more open-minded celebs to appear in a South Park episode as herself in 2000. She is one of the select few celebs who “truly appreciate what we do,” according to the show’s creators.
BEN AFFILM
With numerous attacks on the Gone Girl star, Ben Affleck turned become something of a punching bag for South Park.
Famously, Affleck made an appearance in the episode of season five called “How To Eat Your Butt.” In the episode, Cartman comes across two patients who have posteriors for faces due to a bogus medical disease called Torsonic Polarity Syndrome. They’re seeking for their long-lost son Ben Affleck, which is the punchline to the joke.
Before their breakup and eventual reconciliation in 2021, Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were very much a tabloid couple in a later season of the show, and Cartman doodles a picture of JLo on his palm. After that, Affleck develops feelings for the hand puppet with the lipstick drawing.
Gates, Bill
Bill Gates, one of the richest individuals in the world, is undoubtedly not exempt from South Park’s satire.
The 67-year-old founder of Microsoft has made multiple appearances in episodes. A US army officer shot Bill Gates in the head in 1999 after he became enraged over the slowness of the Windows 98 operating system.
In a nod to the episode, Gates made an appearance in a subsequent series, wearing a bandage over his gruesome gunshot wound.
Gates returns to Microsoft in series seven’s “A Song of Ass and Fire” episode to assassinate his replacement as CEO. In anticipation of impending “console warfare” between PlayStation supporters, he identifies himself as the leader of the Xbox One supporters.
Cardinal Benedict XVI
South Park was not afraid to delve into religion as evidenced by its parodies of the late Pope Emeritus.
A bleeding Virgin Mary statue was the subject of an episode that showed the former head of the Catholic Church traveling to Park County, the setting of the adult comedy cartoon.
The former pontiff examines the statue and finds that it is bleeding from the vagina, concluding that it is not a miracle because it is normal for a woman to do so.
In South Park, Jesus’s second coming was also shown. The pontiff gave up his position as leader of the Catholic Church after the second coming.
He later ascended to the throne once more but abdicated after the South Park writers depicted Jesus involved in a doping controversy.
Brady, Tom
He may be the best NFL player of all time, but that doesn’t seem to stop South Park from making fun of him for having a feces accident.
In the episode “Taming Odd” from season seventeen, Tom Brady made an appearance after accidentally taking the wrong prescription and embarrassing himself while watching a football game.
Brady has also been mentioned multiple times throughout South Park. After being in jail for four days in season nineteen, the title character Cartman declares that he is going to “Tom Brady this thing.”
In the incident, it is said that Brady was involved in the “Deflategate” scandal, in which the then-Patriots quarterback was charged with ordering the purposeful deflation of the ball and sentenced to a four-game suspension.
