Meghan Markle 'upset and overwhelmed' over South Park jibes

Meghan Markle is reportedly 'upset and overwhelmed' after herself and Prince Harry were depicted in a recent episode of South Park.

The American animated comedy's recent episode was titled 'The Worldwide Privacy Tour', which aired on February 15. In a clear jibe at Harry and Meghan, a description for last week's programme references a "prince and his wife" trying to "find privacy and seclusion in a small mountain town", reports the Mirror.

While the former working Royals weren't named, it was pretty obvious who the fictional 'Prince and Princess of Canada' were based on. South Park, which first aired in March 1998, landed plenty of brutal swipes at the couple throughout the episode, where the princess, dressed in an outfit similar to the Duchess of Sussex wore during Trooping the Colour in 2018, is described as a "sorority girl, actress, influencer, victim" by another character.

The prince also embarked on a publicity tour for his autobiography 'Waaagh' - which has strikingly similar resemblance to Prince Harry's memoir Spare - despite demanding privacy from everybody. However, the portrayal of the Sussexes in the TV show has "upset and overwhelmed" Meghan over the last few days, according to a source, reports The Spectator.

They also added that she "is annoyed by South Park but refuses to watch it all". One royal commentator has claimed that the couple "could call in the lawyers" against the hit-Comedy Central show.

Neil Sean told Fox News: "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.
