In a recent episode of South Park, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were parodied as the Prince and Princess of Canada, depicted as a young royal couple seeking privacy while paradoxically drawing attention to themselves.
The redheaded prince is seen promoting his book, WOG, with a cover strikingly similar to Harry's memoir Spare, accompanied by his wife in an outfit reminiscent of Meghan's past appearances.
During a TV appearance on the show, the Princess expresses a desire for normalcy, stating that if they lived in the neighborhood, people would believe their sincerity in wanting to lead a regular life.
However, their neighbor Kyle is less than pleased with their presence, especially with the prince playing polo on the lawn and their ostentatious jet parked outside.
The episode takes several veiled jabs at the Sussexes, including a scene where the Prince and Princess of Canada attend the Queen's burial despite ongoing family disputes.
The royal family in the show ridicules them for their criticisms of the Canadian monarchy, with one member even resorting to a classic South Park move by farting in the princess's face.
Amidst their quest for privacy, the Prince and Princess make a series of public appearances, including a disastrous interview on breakfast television where they express disdain for media attention.
Their global “we demand privacy” tour sees them traveling to various countries, chanting slogans and attempting to evade public scrutiny.
As the Prince and Princess list US states where they plan to settle, they eventually arrive in South Park, where they hope to find solace from the spotlight.
However, their arrival sparks immediate annoyance among their neighbors, with the Prince's antics further aggravating the situation, such as inspecting furniture and playing drums outdoors.
Kyle, the disgruntled neighbor, vents to his friends about the royals' intrusive behavior and relentless promotion of their book, causing tension in the community.
The Prince and Princess's attempts to assert their desire for privacy only serve to intensify the scrutiny and exasperation of those around them.
The episode cleverly satirizes the real-life struggles of public figures like Meghan and Harry, highlighting the complexities of seeking privacy while remaining in the public eye.
South Park's humorous take on the royal couple's predicament offers a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the challenges of balancing personal desires with public expectations.
Through its exaggerated portrayal of the Prince and Princess of Canada, South Park delivers a comedic yet thought-provoking exploration of the dynamics between fame, privacy, and societal scrutiny.
The satire serves as a reminder of the fine line that public figures must walk when navigating the demands of their roles and the desire for a sense of normalcy.
