The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made it clear through their spokesperson that they will not attack the creators of the comedy show after a mocking episode aired last week.
Harry and Meghan are self-deprecating. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced, through a spokesperson quoted by several media including People, that they will not file a complaint against South Park – contrary to what some British newspapers had announced.
“All of this is frankly absurd, totally unfounded,” said the spokesperson, adding that it was “boring information”.
South Park made fun of the British prince and his wife in the second episode of its 26th season. Entitled The Worldwide Privacy Tourthe episode is full of references to the life of the ultra-media couple, through a visit by the “Prince of Canada” and his wife to the town of South Park.
“We don’t care about this stupid prince”
The couple arrive on a TV set holding signs reading “We want privacy” and “Stop staring at us.” They say they want to go to South Park to find privacy and tranquility. The princess is presented as an “Instagram-loving bitch”, while the prince “hates journalists”.
The series ridicules Harry and Meghan who constantly claim respect for their privacy, while spreading details on Netflix very intimate on them. South Park also mocks Harry’s memoir, The Alternaterenamed here Waaaagh. “We don’t give a damn about this stupid prince and his stupid wife,” Stan says.
South Park often seizes the news to make fun of it. Last year, the anime series had been the first to broach the subject of the war in Ukraine. Entitled Back to the Cold Warthis episode openly mocked Vladimir Putin.
