Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Were Mocked On Family Guy
On October 22, 2023, Family Guy aired a sharp satire episode targeting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. In the episode, an animated version of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex received a satirical jab about their $100 million Netflix deal and sponsored Instagram posts.
Insiders close to the ex-royals reported that Prince Harry and Markle were deeply upset by the animated episode, considering it a blatant affront. The couple denounced the episode, labeling it as an outrageous slur, relentless mockery, and a lack of serious consideration from the public. The source told Closer Magazine:
“What’s hit them hardest and cuts the deepest of all is that it plays up the whole notion they’re self-entitled grifters or spoilt brats…”
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Were Ridiculed Over Their Car Chase Drama
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle claimed that they were on a wild car chase with aggressive paparazzi in May 2023. However, instead of sympathy, they received skepticism and mockery from various public figures, including friends of the British Royal Family.
Initially, the Sussexes’ spokesperson asserted that the couple faced a relentless pursuit with multiple near collisions lasting over two hours after leaving the Women of Vision Awards in Manhattan, New York. However, doubts were cast on the narrative by NYC Mayor Eric Adams and the hosts of The View, with Whoopi Goldberg describing the statement as misleading and damaging to their credibility.

Friends of the Royal Family seized the opportunity to mock the couple, with one anonymous friend of Prince William stating, “I thought they were leaving the royal family for a quieter life. If flashbulbs give Harry flashbacks, I don’t understand why he is going to award ceremonies.”
Jennifer Aniston and her mom Nancy Dow were estranged for many years, here’s whether or not their relationship was repaired before her passing.
A public relations expert deemed the situation a disaster for Prince Harry and Markle, per the New York Post:
“If I had to guess, I would say this is Harry going, ‘This is unacceptable, I’m going to say something,’ and no one having the balls to say, ‘Well, maybe not, sir, that would be really f—king stupid, and it is going to totally overshadow everything your wife has been doing tonight, her big comeback.’ This is what happens when people do their own PR.”
The NYPD released a statement affirming that they assisted the private security team in protecting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. They acknowledged the presence of numerous photographers but refuted any reported collisions or incidents.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s Public Image Was Tainted By A South Park Parody
In one episode of South Park, it took a satirical swipe at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, portraying them as the Prince and Princess of Canada.

The episode features jabs at the Sussexes, with characters branding them the dumb prince and his stupid wife and mocking their claims of wanting privacy.
The episode concludes with the Prince realizing the pitfalls of trying to mold themselves into a brand and declaring a desire for a normal life free from media attention. Meanwhile, the princess remained entangled in the pursuit of a carefully curated image.

Celebrities Criticized The Credibility Of Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s Story Against The Royal Family
After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped out of their royal duties in 2020, they gave multiple interviews about their experiences inside the Palace. While some sympathized with what they went through, especially Markle’s claims of racism within the Royal Family, others were not convinced about the integrity of her stories.
In a live screening of his Netflix stand-up show, Selective Outrage, Chris Rock weighed in on Markle’s claims about racism made in her interview with Oprah Winfrey:
“What do you mean ‘I didn’t know, I had no idea how racist they were.’ It’s the royal family!… It’s the royal family, they’re the original racists. They invented colonialism. They’re the OGs of racism…”
Saturday Night Live’s Michael Che humorously suggested Markle was being offered ‘$19 an hour’ to attend the coronation, accompanied by an image of the duchess dressed as a housekeeper.
