Find out what William did when he watched the South Park episode making fun of Harry and Meghan. And see what insiders say. Get all the details below.
South Park – Trashes Meghan Markle And Prince Harry
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry keep insisting that they want privacy. But their claims come amid Meghan giving lengthy interviews and Harry spilling all the royal family secrets in his memoir Spare. As a result, Comedy Central’s animated series South Park couldn’t resist mocking the Duchess and Duke of Sussex. However, the series creators claimed that the episode didn’t resemble anyone alive, noted the Post.
But the cartoon images resembling Meghan and Harry made comparisons inevitable. And when South Park animators showed those images whining, “We want privacy,” it seemed clear that the series referred to the Sussex couple. Titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour,” the episode began with a claim that all characters portrayed fictional creations.
But then came a male cartoon with Harry-style red hair and a female caricature resembling Meghan. And with the two referred to as the “prince and princess of Canada,” the sketches of a “dumb prince” and his “stupid wife” inevitably drew parallels to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. However, the South Park episode then showed the cartoon couple on “Good Morning Canada.” Waving picket signs, the prince and princess shared their supposed desire to privacy and demands that the world “Stop looking at us!”

Prince William – Reacts To South Park Mocking Harry And Meghan Markle
But South Park goes even further in parallels to Harry’s and Meghan’s comments and antics. For instance, the episode shows the prince hyping a book titled “Waaagh.” And the caricature of the Duke whines, “We just want to be normal people. All this attention is so hard” as he promotes his memoir.
Harry and Meghan might want to skip that episode. But Prince William relishes it, say insiders. And William likely appreciates how South Park skewers his brother and sister-in-law over their craving for fame. For instance, the episode shows the two on a private jet for a Worldwide Privacy Tour.
And a character complains of the fictional duo, “I‘m sick of hearing about them. But I can’t get away from them, they’re everywhere. In my f–king face.” Royal insiders say that William enjoyed these cartoon portrayals of Harry and Meghan.

Prince Harry – Feuds With Prince William
But insiders also note that William doesn’t usually watch South Park. However, his friends “have seen it on social media and [sent a clip his way]. I think he’s probably seen it and will have had a wry smile on his face [when watching],” added one insider.
And the episode comes amid William, 40, and Harry, 38, battling. The feud reportedly began when Harry tied the knot with Meghan, 41. And it grew as Harry and Meghan quit their royal duties and headed to California. But the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have infuriated not just William but most of the royal family. And their pattern of claiming to want privacy while dropping public bombshells against the royals has done nothing to mend the rifts.

It was ok but it upset me when they had shown the Queen’s body in that position in the coffin, they shouldn’t have shown it period. How direspectiful. Yes I realize it’s a cartoon but it is suppose to represent that late Queen.
I think someone needs to get a life
I think the video was funny and light. Most public figures better parodied somewhere at sometime. If they would just lighten up and laugh along, it would go a long way to improving their images…but suing everyone is getting old and wearing on everyone’s nerves. They are so predictable with the lawsuits because they are so lawsuit happy. They need to get jobs and stay busy instead of lashing out for every little supposed slight. They need to quit making their millions in court. They come across as angry, petty litigious snobs who sit around grumbling and waiting for the next chance to sue. At least Samantha Markle is only suing for $75,000. Whether it goes to court or not, she has made her point!
I think it is horrible the reaction from Prince William Harry is his brother for Gods sake. South Park is wrong in viewing that program . No respect for the Royal family. I don’t find this funny at all . Both brothers need to put on their big boy pants and end this.. They need to be a family again. It’s what their loving mother would have wanted .Both wives need to stay out of this mess. I pray Prince William and Harry will work this out. Their father is a waste in this mess . His children should come first and he should MAKE time to meet with both boys. It’s never too late to bring family back together. Life is too short.
