If we hadn’t heard enough about ‘the Dumb Prince and His Stupid Wife’ – not Steerpike’s words – now South Park has dedicated an entire episode to mocking them and their faux pleas for privacy.
Throughout the 20-minute episode, the long-running animated comedy’s writers really stuck the sword into Harry and Meghan, who have found themselves the butt of many jokes after their Netflix documentary and Harry’s moany memoir Spare. Just last week at the Grammys, host Trevor Noah said that James Corden was ‘living proof that a man can move from London to LA and not tell everyone about his frostbitten penis’.
But in true South Park style – flapping heads, small black eyes and ludicrously over-the-top Canuck accents, eh? – they went a step further than to mock the prince for his private parts. Kyle delivered the most damning soliloquy during his quest to overhaul his ‘brand’, when he said: ‘This whole thing is wrong. They’re telling you guys to reduce yourself into products instead of people to be truly understood and loved.
