Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may sue South Park over their depiction in savage Season 26 'The Worldwide Privacy Tour' episode
NEW YORK, NEW YORK: After South Park ripped on royals Harry and Meghan in their latest episode of Season 26, there’s a buzz going that the show may face legal action in the future. The satirical series took a dig at the Duke and Duchess and called it a 'The Worldwide Privacy Tour' episode. As per one royal commentator, Harry and Meghan’s lawyers are ‘keeping an eye’ on what may come next.
“According to sources close to the ex-royals, it appears that, like so many things with Meghan and Harry, this may have legal ramifications attached. Their legal team is casting an eye over the episode to see what is wrong, and what could be turned into something more sinister,” Neil Sean told Fox News. In its last week episode, which aired on Wednesday, February 15, it depicted the ‘Prince and Princess of Canada’ – the young royal couple who demand privacy while making noise and looking for attention all the time.

'Dare we say, change . . . dare we?'
The royal commentator added, “This appears to be their course of action rather than laughing it off, enjoying the moment and showing the world that they get the joke and understand this is how they may be perceived, and maybe, dare we say, change . . . dare we?” Sean in his piece also talked about the instance when chat show host Jimmy Kimmel attacked the royal couple and poked fun at the brand Meghan and Harry, “Things then took a turn with U.S. chat show kings, like Jimmy Kimmel, attacking them, and worse, making fun of the brand of Meghan and Harry. Why? Well, according to the ex-royal’s team, it's hurtful and spiteful and, above all, they are not in control of it.”
'At least has given you free marketing feedback'
Referring to his father King Charles, the royal commentator shared some advice, “King Charles has dreadful PR from time to time, yet even he sees the funny side of things, never takes legal action, and more, thanks to Camilla, has learned to laugh off dire press.” However, he did not miss out on appreciating the sitcom’s recent episode and called it a ‘spot on’. Before adding, “At least has given you free marketing feedback on just what the vast majority of your once-loyal fan base now think of you, and maybe it's time to change?”
Earlier, the host of 'The Megyn Kelly Show' took another shot at Meghan and Harry and said, "I feel this is a pronouncement that they have jumped the shark, they are not beloved and her hopes of running for president, reported hopes, are all but dashed. That’s not happening. When 'South Park' turns on you, there's no recovering."
