In the least surprising news ever, Meghan Markle is reportedly upset with the way South Park portrayed her in a recent episode titled ‘Worldwide Privacy Tour’, in which she and Harry beg people to leave them alone by going on multiple TV shows.
Of course, South Park didn’t actually say it was her in the episode, but it’s pretty clear. Here are a couple clips from the episode in case you missed it:
South Park makes fun of Harry and Meghan. As usual, they get it spot on. 👌🏼 pic.twitter.com/JURRIgHvsF

Oh my god, they really just called Meghan Markle empty on the inside. #MeghanAndHarryAreFinished

The Spectator reports that “California sources claim that Meghan has spent the last few days ‘upset and overwhelmed’ about how she was portrayed.” Their sources also say that Markle “is annoyed by South Park but refuses to watch it all.”
In fact she’s so upset about it that she and Harry are considering legal action, although I’m not sure how far they’ll get given that parody is protected under The First Amendment (a rule that Harry once called ‘bonkers’, funnily enough).
Given that South Park have gotten away with taking the pxss out of everyone from the Taliban to President Xi Jinping of China, it’s probably best that Harry and Meghan just move on from this IMO. Their reported reaction to the episode only proves South Park’s point that they take themselves way too seriously. In fact if Harry came out and said he thought it was funny, it would probably endear them to a lot more people. Fat chance of that happening though.
