South Park: Season 26 Episode 2 First Look

Meghan Markle may have decided against attending the Coronation of King Charles III this weekend over fears around the South Park skit about her and Prince Harry, a royal expert has claimed.

Harry is attending his father’s historic day at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, but Meghan is remaining at home with the couple’s two young children. Prince Archie turns four tomorrow and it is thought Meghan wants to celebrate with him.

Earlier this year, a South Park episode was broadcast showing Harry and Meghan parodied as the Prince and Princess of Canada – a ginger-haired man and American woman embarking on a “worldwide privacy tour”.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not identified by name, but viewers were left in absolutely no doubt about who was being mocked.

Now, Neil Sean believes this interpretation of them had a huge influence on Meghan not appearing at the Coronation.

He told the Daily Star: “For Meghan it was a real hitbox, not only did they have imagery that looks exactly like them but it poked fun at everything they tried to put together and stood for.

“Meghan would like to move people away from that particular image, and that’s going to be one of the biggest problems for Harry and Meghan moving forward.”

Mr Sean alleged it was that image in the minds of those South Park fans which persuaded Meghan from returning to the UK this weekend.

The royal expert continued: “It is the chance that Meghan feared about her return to come back here to the United Kingdom.

“It took a cartoon image to make Meghan realise this was not going to be very good for her, so she decided to move away from any confrontation.”

During the South Park episode broadcast on February 16, and titled ‘The Worldwide Privacy Tour’, the “Prince and Princess of Canada” stage publicity stunts to get attention while loudly insisting they want to be left alone.

This is seemingly in reference to claims made by the couple in their Netflix documentary series two months earlier, where they complained of alleged press intrusion while living in the UK.

Much of the South Park episode revolved around a promotional tour for the Prince’s memoir about royal life, which was called “Waaagh”.

The couple are seen appearing on national TV shows to talk about it while holding signs that say “We want privacy” and “Stop looking at us”.

At the time, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said Harry and Meghan should be “very concerned” at the way they are now seen by the South Park audience and many others.

He told the Daily Mail: “Harry and Meghan are obsessed with being in control of the narrative.

“We’ve recently seen them attack the Royal Family over a period of weeks when they knew the response would be silence.

“They should, however, be very concerned that their standing in America seems to be changing, a Newsweek poll showed it to be seismically affected after Harry rubbished his family in his memoir.”

US royal expert Kinsey Schofield also told GB News: “What [South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone] are saying is, ‘these two are not sincere people, they say that they want their privacy while going on every television show, writing books, doing six hours of Netflix’.”
