South Park, it seems, still has the ability to ignite controversy and culture war. The satire is crude and heavy-handed, as South Park tends to be, essentially repeating the talking points of critics, verbatim. “I hate her on a cellular level … [walked off](https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/mar/09/ofcom-investigating-gmb-piers-morgan-comments-harry-meghan-sussexes) of the set of Good Morning Britain after being challenged on his aggressive comments, [posted](https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/1626209865155887104) a South Park clip on Twitter with the caption: Episode 2 of South Park’s 26th season, “The Worldwide Privacy Tour,” didn’t dare mention Harry and Meghan by name, but was packed with clear references to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. South Park has resurrected the discourse sparked by Netflix’s Harry & Meghan and Prince Harry’s memoir Spare, after the latest episode of the Comedy Central animation tore into the royal couple.
The episode has gone viral for its play on both the Spare memoir and the Sussexes' Netflix series.
They summed up exactly how we all see this couple,” one said. I have never heard of this show till now but THIS is hilarious! If it’s truly what we want then we can really get away from it all. Claiming they want to be “normal people”, the couple board their private jet and embark on an international “We Want Privacy” tour. Holding signs saying “We want our privacy”, the characters jet around the world and protest to uninterested people as a privacy theme song plays. Swipes at the Sussexes include the fictional couple throwing a privacy party, the prince playing polo on the lawn and flying in a private jet.
A new episode of South Park which aired in the US on Wednesday night has gone viral online after mercilessly spoofing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
"It was amazing. Harry is a real-life polo afficionado and has reportedly found a polo club in the couple’s adopted home of Santa Barbara. Later, the couple argue on the front lawn of their new home in South Park before the Prince starts playing polo. In the episode, a fictional Prince and Princess of Canada serve as a thinly veiled reference to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The book cover is a perfect cartoon reproduction of Spare, right down to the tight headshot of the Prince and the simple text placement.

South Park's latest episode takes aim at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, critics rejoiced, while others think they missed the point entirely.
Others also noted that Harry and Meghan are the only royals to have been lampooned by the cartoon. The prince and his wife then storm off the set, declaring they are going to start a normal life elsewhere. She decides to stay behind and work on her brand, while her prince departs. Viewers are treated to the first appearance of the flame-haired prince and his dark-tressed wife. In my f–king face,” he says, which seems like some kind of nod to those who dislike the Sussexes, yet keep talking about them. After being prompted by his wife, the prince says he hates journalists.
While they didn't specifically use their names, the male character is a red-headed prince and his wife wears the exact same outfit Meghan once wore in 2018.
No more magazines and Netflix shows, we can just live a normal life.” We just want to be normal people – all this attention is so hard.” They are in my f***ing face!”
