NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: According to Megyn Kelly, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle won't "recover" from a recent 'South Park' skit that made fun of the exiled royals. In the most recent episode of the show, titled 'The Worldwide Privacy Tour', the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's choice to relocate across the globe in a desperate attempt to maintain their privacy was mocked ruthlessly.

During her SiriusXM show on Friday, Kelly said the long-running Comedy Central cartoon is a sign that it's over for them. She was joined by Jim Geraghty and Michael Brendan Dougherty from National Review

When 'South Park' turns on you

"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," Kelly, 52, said on 'The Megyn Kelly Show' released Friday, February 17. "That’s not happening. When 'South Park' turns on you, there's no recovering."



 

Kelly brought up numerous rumors about the Duchess of Sussex considering a political career, giving fuel to the unsubstantiated claims that she has her sights set on the White House. Although the royal couple has not yet made any comments regarding the animated show, it appears that it was a big hit with viewers.

The episode concentrates on a couple who relocate to a made-up village seeking privacy.

Although the couple's identity isn't made clear in the program, fans have remarked that they resemble the royals in both appearance and attire. The two cartoon characters also advertise the prince's new book, 'Waaagh', which has a striking resemblance to Prince Harry's recently released memoir, 'Spare'. "We just want to be normal people — all this attention is so hard," the prince says in the episode after admitting he "hates" journalists. The couple later board a flashy private jet and set off on their 'Worldwide Privacy Tour'.



 

The episode has garnered around 556,000 views till now, according to ShowBuzzDaily. 'South Park' is well known for attacking icons from popular culture. The show has traditionally been quite wide in who and what it satirizes during it's 26 seasons.
