From ‘Handsome Prince’ to Punchline Puppet: How Spitting Image’s Savage Parody of Prince Harry Snorting Catastrophic Cocaine with Paddington Bear Has Sparked Fury, Laughter, and Legal Panic in Montecito — Inside the Viral Skewering That May Be the Most Brutal Royal Takedown of the Decade

There was a time when Prince Harry was the dashing, rebellious darling of the British monarchy. But that era is dead—and buried beneath a mound of catastrophic cocaine, courtesy of Spitting Image.

In its most savage resurrection yet, the infamous British puppet satire show has returned with an explosive new target: Prince Harry himself. And this time, it’s personal. The once-glamorous Duke of Sussex is now a goggle-eyed, balding caricature, mercilessly lampooned as a confused, vain, emotionally fragile man-child hosting a fictional left-wing podcast called The Rest Is [Bleep] — and the internet can’t get enough.

The brutal parody features Harry interviewing none other than Paddington Bear about his secret to eternal confidence and glow. The answer? “Catastrophic cocaine.”

“Yes, I’ve tried it and the results were incredible,” Paddington proclaims, his little bear paws gesturing wildly. “I became interesting, confident. I had so many ideas I couldn’t keep track of them. And I couldn’t tell you how attractive I was. It was like I wasn’t ginger anymore.”

For longtime royal watchers, the clip isn’t just hilarious—it’s radioactive. Sources close to Montecito insiders say the Duke “lost it” when he saw the video trending online. “There were tantrums. Shouting. And yes, lawyers were called,” according to reports from royal commentator Taz and confirmed by royal biographer Angela Levin, who joined Outspoken for a scathing breakdown.

But that’s just the opening act.

The puppet Harry continues to unravel, admitting that he doesn’t even start his day—his butler Perkins does. “He wakes up at 5 a.m. and does a 10K for me,” says puppet-Harry. “Then he Googles to check if I’m still fifth in line to the throne.”

Even Meghan doesn’t escape unscathed. The puppet Harry shudders at her “rank smoothies” while Perkins prepares him a bacon sandwich as backup. Their kids? “A lot for Perkins to do,” Harry sighs. Even their Netflix deal is a punchline—he claims it “has about $9 million in it.”

But the most vicious satire may come from the surprise guest in Harry’s podcast universe: Elon Musk.

Joining via “Starlink,” the puppet Musk boasts about his newest child, “Excel System Era 9,” one of 28 cloned organ donors. When Paddington Bear praises Musk for cutting governments down to size, Musk smirks, “I’m trying to do the same with my family.” Harry replies: “Same here.”

It’s no coincidence. This is Spitting Image at its most calculated and cruel. The show is reinventing itself for Gen Z and TikTok virality, with fast-paced sketches, grotesque puppets, and a take-no-prisoners attitude. And this time, Prince Harry isn’t the charming outcast—he’s the national joke.

Angela Levin, Harry’s longtime critic and biographer, made it clear: “He’s not going to like this. He doesn’t laugh at himself anymore. He doesn’t cope well with being mocked.” And yet, she adds, “He deserves it. This is where he’s ended up.”

That descent—according to Levin and host Dan Wootton—isn’t just figurative. The real Harry, they argue, has become directionless, emotionally unstable, and entirely dependent on Meghan. “He doesn’t know how to function anymore. He’s lost touch with the world,” Levin says. “And this satire is only holding up a mirror.”

Meanwhile, Meghan Markle has been attempting to counter the narrative with a PR push on Instagram, posting about their “cupcake tradition” from their second date and sharing videos of her arranging suspiciously decorative fruit platters. But critics didn’t buy it—literally or figuratively.

Royal commentator Angela Levin wasn’t fooled: “It’s all pretense. All for show. Even those little white flowers around the fruit? Poisonous, I’ve been told. Maybe that’s the point.” She laughed darkly. “And the way she was fondling the ice with her bare hands? Utterly unhygienic.”

The satire show’s resurgence has reopened older wounds too—especially when a clip of Harry’s interview with 60 Minutes’ Anderson Cooper went viral again this week. In it, Harry accuses Queen Camilla of being “dangerous,” claiming she needed to rehabilitate her image and was “trading information with the press.”

Angela Levin is livid. “It’s disgusting. Camilla never did that. She helped Catherine. She tried to help Meghan. And Meghan sneered in her face. Charles was devastated by what Harry said. He’s never forgiven him.”

What’s perhaps most ironic, Wootton notes, is that while Harry is being mocked for a fake podcast, his real one never got off the ground. Despite Spotify’s multimillion-dollar investment, he and Meghan failed to deliver consistent content. “They gave him idea after idea,” Wootton said. “He couldn’t commit to a single one.”

Instead, Harry now finds himself mocked by puppets, stripped of his royal glamour, his masculinity questioned, his marriage ridiculed, and his relevance slipping. Even Elon Musk’s puppet jokes about him being “too much genius for one planet,” while sharing cocaine advice with Paddington Bear.

Angela Levin sums it up: “Harry is lost. His world is confusion, bitterness, and insecurity. And what Spitting Image has done is pull the curtain back—not with venom, but with satire. That’s what makes it so devastating.”

The final dagger? A reminder that Spitting Image isn’t some fringe operation. During its heyday from 1984 to 1996, it racked up over 15 million viewers. And now, with its edgy, unapologetic reboot targeting royals and tech billionaires alike, it’s poised to go viral all over again.

Prince Harry may have left the Firm. But he hasn’t escaped the laughter.

Because in 2025, satire still reigns in Britain. And not even a $100 million Netflix deal can protect you from a puppet.
