‘Baseless and boring’: Sussexes rep responds to South Park episode

A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has responded to the latest South Park episode, which brutally mocked the couple.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have issued a statement after they were mocked in an episode of South Park.

The episode, titled ‘World Privacy Tour’, makes fun of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as they move to a fictional town.

In a bid for a more private life, the couple’s characters step off the plane holding signs which say “we want our privacy” and “stop looking at us”.

Harry and Meghan are also seen promoting the Prince’s book ‘Waaagh’ which resembles Harry’s book 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 the US previously claimed Meghan “was annoyed by South Park but refuses to watch it all”.

Meghan is described in the cartoon show as a “sorority girl, actress, influencer, victim”.

As they arrive in South Park, the princess is heard saying: “If we moved here, people would think we’re really serious about wanting to be normal.”

Meanwhile the animated comedy took jabs at Harry’s book.

The cheeky episode began with the usual disclaimer saying all characters – even if they’re based on real people – are fictional. However it’s clear the show was portraying the couple.

After it aired, viewers joked the representation was spot on.

It comes after it was claimed Harry and Meghan have not yet decided if they will attend the King’s coronation.

The couple are said to fear the atmosphere will be as “toxic” as it was during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and funeral.

Before agreeing to fly to the UK for the occasion, the Duke of Sussex, 38, reportedly wants to speak to dad Charles, 74, and brother William, 40, to go over the finer details and clear the air.

Harry is understood not to have had any contact with either since the release of his explosive memoir Spare last month.

If the Prince and Meghan, 41, do join the 2000-strong congregation on May 6, they will do so as ‘normal’ members of the family and not take on any special role.

They will also likely be banned from the Buckingham Palace balcony appearance.
