Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are finding themselves at the center of ridicule, as a royal expert warns of their diminishing popularity.
The unexpected blow to their reputation comes from the popular adult animated show South Park, which recently aired an episode titled “A Dumb Prince and His Stupid Wife.”
In a sneak peek of the unreleased episode, character Kyle expresses frustration, exclaiming, “I’m sick of hearing about them, but I can’t get away from them.
They’re everywhere in my face.”
Stan dismisses the royal couple, stating, “We just don’t care about some dumb prince and his stupid wife.”
Royal expert Daniela Elsa, in an article for news.com.au, interprets this portrayal as a clear indication that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have become a laughingstock.
Elsa emphasizes the significance of this development, urging readers to mark the date and record it in history books as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex face yet another public embarrassment.
She notes that this incident adds to a string of recent high-profile humiliations for the couple.
The scrutiny on the royal pair has extended beyond the realm of television, with notable figures joining in on the mockery.
During the Grammys, Trevor Noah humorously remarked about James Corden’s move from London to LA without boasting about his frostbitten body part.
Similarly, Chelsea Handler took a jab at Prince Harry during the Critics’ Choice Awards, highlighting the overwhelming success of the show “Dommer” on Netflix and drawing a comparison to the royal couple’s persistent presence in the media.
The continuous exposure and controversies surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have shifted public perception of them from influential figures to mere punchlines, according to Elsa.
Despite the couple’s individual successes, such as Harry’s upcoming book and Meghan’s thriving Spotify podcast, they are increasingly viewed as subjects of fascination and ridicule due to their frequent public outbursts and criticisms of the royal family.
Elsa concludes by expressing skepticism about the future trajectory of the Sussexes, questioning where they can go from here given their current predicament.
