Prince Harry is reportedly furious and threatening legal action against the creators of South Park after a leaked episode of the show poked fun at his wife, Meghan Markle, and their media struggles once again. The episode, rumored to be titled The Worldwide Pregnancy Tour, is said to center on a high-profile celebrity couple (clearly based on Harry and Meghan) who are accused of exploiting their privacy for media attention while demanding privacy.
The leaked storyline suggests that the couple monetizes their unborn child’s media exposure by doing talk shows and hinting at a documentary deal about their pregnancy. This portrayal, which also includes a satirical dance sequence featuring Meghan, has reportedly triggered outrage from the royal couple’s legal team, prompting them to prepare for potential litigation even before the episode airs.
Harry and Meghan’s reaction is said to be more personal than ever before, as the couple is already facing a crumbling media empire. After a failed Spotify deal and underperforming Netflix content, the last thing they need is another public mockery, especially involving their unborn child. Critics argue that South Park has crossed a line by turning their personal struggles into satirical content, and the couple’s legal team is reportedly exploring their options.
However, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have long been known for pushing boundaries with their irreverent humor. Despite previous attempts by celebrities to sue over similar content, the show continues to thrive, knowing that controversy is often part of their appeal. While some defend the show’s satirical approach, others feel that mocking a couple’s pregnancy and family goes too far, especially in light of Meghan’s past comments on mental health and miscarriage.
As the internet buzzes with speculation and divided opinions, Harry’s legal actions could spark a media firestorm. If the episode does air, it could further intensify public backlash or fuel even more criticism of the Sussexes’ media presence. Whether they decide to sue or not, the damage may already be done, setting the stage for another contentious chapter in the ongoing saga between the royal couple and the cartoon hit.
