Harry and Meghan’s denials haven’t quieted ‘South Park’ controversy, as Michelle Obama reference sparks new jokes
It looks like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might have been better served if they had taken a cue from their estranged royal relatives and kept totally silent on “South Park’s” brutal satire of them in the second episode of the animated series’ 26th season.
The Comedy Central episode aired last week, and people are still debating and dissecting its depiction of the California-based royal renegades — or their cartoon likenesses — as privileged, attention-seeking “whingers,” as the Brits would say. It looks like the Sussexes probably added fuel to the “South Park” fire by having their spokesperson issue a statement on their behalf, denying reports that the couple were furious about their portrayal on the show or that they planned to sue. By Tuesday, the statement mostly served to generate a new round of headlines and social media chatter about the show and its possible damage to Harry and Meghan’s reputation.
The episode, titled “Worldwide Privacy Tour,” centers on a “Prince of Canada” and his wife fleeing to the fictional small town of South Park, Colorado, for “privacy and seclusion.
At one point, one of the show’s main characters, Kyle Broflovski, declares: “I’m sick of hearing about them! I can’t get away from them! They’re everywhere, in my face!” His buddy Eric Cartman responds, “We don’t care about some dumb prince and his stupid wife.”Critics of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to delight in discovering new jokes embedded in the episode — lately finding its Meghan character being identified as a “first lady botherer.
