In a recent episode of “South Park”, titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour”, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were brutally ridiculed.
Markle, 41, was reportedly “nervous and overwhelmed” and the couple’s US approval rankings even dropped. Despite rumors of a lawsuit, a representative for the couple told The Post that Harry and Meghan considered the episode “honest nonsense…completely baseless and boring” and denied allegations that the couple planned to sue.
Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were unfazed by the uproar, recalling a protracted history of lawsuits, including battles with Scientologists over their notorious episode mocking Tom Cruise.
The episode is about cartoon characters who say they wish to stay out of the highlight but participate in various talk shows. They resemble the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but their official names should not given in the series. When you missed an episode, and even in the event you saw it but missed a number of Easter eggs, here’s what you could know.

A nod to the extinguishing of the candle
In the series, the characters attend the funeral of the “Canadian Queen” and walk past a candle. Recall that in real life, during the televised broadcast of the Queen’s funeral, it was rumored that the royal family placed Markle behind a candle in order that she was almost invisible during the broadcast.
A mockery of diaries
In the episode, a personality who’s comparable to Prince Harry promotes the book “Waagh”. On screen, one character complains, “They’ve an enormous jet parked outside my house they usually keep wanting me to purchase their book.”
In fact, in real life, Harry made headlines together with his best-selling and controversial memoir Spare.

Remembering the frostbitten member
In his memoirs, Prince Harry infamously gave an excessive amount of information about his frostbitten “todger”. In the series, Harry’s character says at one point, “That is an outrage – we’ll see how he handles my blue penis.”
Lost meaning after translation
In real life, Meghan Markle has been interviewed by several outlets comparable to Vogue and Variety. In the episode, a personality just like Meghan appears on the cover of the fictional “G2” magazine. The duvet reads “Princess Anus”. It is a pun on the Latin phrase that appeared on her real GQ cover – “Meghan’s annus mirabilis” – which suggests “Meghan’s great 12 months”.

Role playing
On screen, the fictional couple meets with a brand manager who labels Meghan’s character “society girl, actress, influencer and victim”, while Harry’s character is labeled “royal prince, millionaire, world traveler, victim”. Meghan’s character can be described as “pretending to be a lawyer”, a reference to Markle’s time as an actress in the US TV series “Suits”.
Mixed news
Harry and Meghan were famously chatting with Oprah in real life, along with releasing a six-part Netflix documentary about their relationship. Many have identified that their limitless self-promotion conflicts with their supposed desire for privacy.
In the series, characters appear on “Good Morning Canada” claiming to want privacy. Meghan’s character holds an indication that reads, “Stop us,” while Harry’s character reads, “We would like our privacy.”

Happening
In real life, Harry and Meghan made headlines after stepping back from the royal family in 2020 and moving to California. In the series, the couple moves to South Park, with Meghan’s character saying, “If we moved here, people would think we were really serious about being normal.”
