Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been mocked by Family Guy as their marriage is compared to “Hitler and the Crusades”.
The newest series of the satirical cartoon takes a swipe at the pair in an episode where two beloved characters go back in time, reports The Sun.
FOX aired the clip this week, which brutally mocks the royals by listing them with two of history’s darkest moments.

The dig comes during a time-travelling skit where characters Stewie and Brian meet American author Mark Twain.
Brian says: “Doesn’t history pretty much suck? The Crusades, Hitler …”
Stewie then chimes in: “Prince Harry marrying Meghan Markle?”
The episode then cuts to a cartoon version of the Duke of Sussex sitting on a sofa watching the show.
He complains: “Oh, again?”
The character then turns to the audience and remarks: “Oh like all your wives are so much better?”

It’s the latest pop culture roasting for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who’ve been regularly skewered by US cartoons since quitting royal life in 2020.
After making the move across the pond for privacy, the couple splashed out on their Montecito mansion – which was also a point of ridicule for the pair.
In 2023, Family Guy poked fun at their Netflix deal, showing the royals lounging by a pool next to their mansion.
A butler handed them a cheque for “millions … for no-one knows what”.
Cartoon Harry sips from a champagne flute before muttering: “Put it with the rest of them.”
Then Meghan gets a ping on her phone and says: “Babe, time to do our $250,000 sponsored Instagram post for Del Taco.”
In an apparent reference to Harry’s criticism of the royal family, he responds: “I shouldn’t have left the made-up nonsense.”
Family Guy isn’t the only comedy show that has taken a swipe at the couple.
The royals were also torn to shreds by South Park, which aired an episode called “The Worldwide Privacy Tour”.
The cheeky episode began with a disclaimer saying all characters – even if they’re based on real people – are fictional.
But fans were quick to point out the Prince’s red hair and his wife’s floppy hat drew similarities to the Duke and Duchess.
The episode mocked their constant calls for privacy while accusing them of endlessly chasing the spotlight.
Fans were left in hysterics over the episode in February 2023, where the couple were seen holding huge signs begging to be left alone.
The couple hang banners above their house demanding privacy – and hold loud “privacy parties” in their front garden.

Cartoon Meghan is shown in the same pink outfit she wore to Trooping the Colour.
The pair also appear as guests on a talk show to talk about the Prince’s book, named Waaagh, which gives a striking resemblance to Prince Harry’s bombshell memoir, Spare.
After the show aired it was reported that the couple were considering legal action.
However their spokesperson has lashed out at the claims, and told Newsweek: “This is baseless and boring.”
Sources in California previously claimed Meghan “was annoyed by South Park but refuses to watch it all”.
After it aired, viewers joked that the representation was spot on.
One said: “South Park has seriously nailed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.”
Another added: “They are definitely ripping on Harry and Meghan.”
