Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have been in trouble lately, and their dispute with the royal family has been made a laughing stock by the well-known cartoon "South Park" and has sparked a heated discussion on social media.
In the latest episode of South Park, titled "Global Privacy Journey", "The Prince and Princess of Canada" is considered to be very similar to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who also declare "we want privacy" and "stop looking at us", while the memoir "Waaagh" of the "Prince of Canada" is also believed to be imitating Prince Harry's autobiography "Spare Wheel".
No wonder netizens on Twitter have quipped, "South Park is smearing Meghan and Harry", "Harry and Meghan are too annoying", "Even South Park knows that to regain attention, you have to mention Meghan and Harry, are they too popular".
According to people familiar with the matter, although Meghan and Harry are very unhappy with the metaphors in the film, they do not want to take legal action against the show, after all, they are now facing a more important lawsuit.
Meghan is known to fall out with her biological father Thomas Markle and her siblings, and her fierce attacks on her family in a 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview made her half-sister Samantha very angry.
The British media "Daily Star" reported on February 22 that Samantha is now suing Meghan for this matter, and if she can prove to the world that Meghan is a "liar" and "incompetent mother", it will discredit Meghan.
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield believes that this is the price of Meghan's "betrayal" of her family, and her "self-defeating" approach has also triggered a "domino effect" that will not only negatively affect her future life and income, but also implicate Prince Harry.
Schofield told Fox News Digital that Samantha is likely to make the matter like a circus, which would be very embarrassing for Meghan and Harry.
Even more embarrassing, the couple was recently quipped by a former friend of theirs that they were "incomparable to real Hollywood celebrities."
Nick Ede, an American TV host, said in an interview with the Daily Express that Prince Harry and Meghan have fantasized about becoming "the first people on the block" since they moved to the United States, but unfortunately, the title of "Hollywood royalty" only belongs to characters like the Kardashian sisters and Beyoncé.
It is reported that Harry and Meghan's mansion in Montecito, Santa Barbara, is home to many celebrities, including the aforementioned American celebrity Oprah Winfrey, and TV stars such as Ellen DeGeneres.
According to Nick, in fact, the Sussexes are "quite low-ranked" in Hollywood, and their "social status is far behind other stars" in the United States, which is also one reason why they are easy to "step down".
Nick, the host of Royal Television's Royal Agenda, believes Harry and Meghan underestimated their influence after moving from the UK to the US, after all, their lives are very different.
The host explained that "Hollywood royalty is not those who have titles, but influential people like Jennifer Lopez, Sharon Stone, Beyoncé, the Kardashians," and "people like [former U.S. presidents] Obama, Clinton and Trump." ”
Having said that, Meghan now seems to be enjoying her luxurious life in Montecito, where she says she "feels free," "calm and healing."
The 18,000-square-foot (1,672-square-meter) oversized home is truly fascinating, with nine bedrooms and 16 bathrooms, as well as a tennis court, tea room and two-bedroom guest rooms, a chicken coop, a swimming pool and a pool house, and a large garden with two palm trees.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex bought the mansion in 2020 for a whopping $14.65 million after retiring from the royal family, which is indeed a lot more than their Nottingham cottage in the UK.
