The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are hardly averse to taking matters to court. From their privacy tussles with the Mail on Sunday to the recent revelation that the taxpayer has forked out £300,000 over Prince Harry’s High Court challenge to the Home Office about his security arrangements when visiting the UK (he wanted to pay for police protection for his family, but was informed that the British police were not available for private hire, like taxis), the couple appear to regard legal action as a regrettable necessity that will ensure ‘their truth’ comes out into the world.
Yet now, at last, they seem to have reached their limit. When ‘The Worldwide Privacy Tour’, a recent episode of the hit American cartoon show South Park was aired, it brutally mocked the couple as fame-obsessed and vacuous, chasing dollars from corporations by turning themselves into products.
At the end of the episode, Prince Harry has an epiphany of sorts and declares that he wants to lead a normal life.
