Prince Harry, Meghan Markle may sue South Park makers over attacks

Lawyers for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly “casting an eye” over South Park after the series savaged the Sussexes.

Lawyers for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are believed to be “casting an eye” over the satirical animated sitcom South Park after it launched a series of attacks against the couple.

In a scathing episode last week, the series ridiculed the couple’s demands for privacy while the Duke of Sussex was on a global publicity blitz for his tell-all memoir, Spare.

Royal commentator Neil Sean told Fox News that representatives for the pair are now watching the series closely for any more attacks.

He said: “According to sources close to the ex-royals, it appears that, like so many things with Meghan and Harry, this may have legal ramifications attached.

“Their legal team are casting an eye over the episode to see what is wrong, and what could be turned into something more sinister.”

Mr Sean added that the makers of South Park have, as yet, received no legal correspondence.

Last week’s controversial episode depicted the ‘Prince and Princess of Canada’ — a red-headed prince and his wife who loudly beg for privacy while drawing attention to themselves.

The fictional pair are seen promoting a book titled Waaagh, a play on Prince Harry’s autobiography.

The episode is filled with swipes at the Sussexes, with main character Stan branding the cartoon characters the “dumb prince and his stupid wife”.

The cartoon couple hang banners above their house demanding privacy and hold loud “privacy parties” in their front garden.

The characters are shown to participate in a disastrous TV interview, with the cartoon prince carrying a sign that reads: “We want privacy.”

They then go on a “we want privacy” tour taking in Aussie icons the Sydney Opera House and kangaroos and, after contacting a branding manager, the prince is described as: “Royal prince, millionaire, world traveller, victim.”

Eventually they settle in the town of South Park, Colorado.

The show has left royal fans and South Park viewers shocked at how far the episode went to slam the royals, reports The Sun.
