Megyn Kelly says Prince Harry and Meghan Markle simply “won’t get well” from a recent “South Park” episode that mocked the exiled royals.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s decision to maneuver across the pond in a desperate bid for privacy was mercilessly ridiculed within the show’s latest episode, titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour.”
“I feel it is a pronouncement that they’ve jumped the shark, they will not be beloved and her hopes of running for president, reported hopes, are all but dashed,” Kelly, 52, said on “The Megyn Kelly Show” released Friday.
“That’s not happening. When ‘South Park’ activates you, there’s no recovering.”
Kelly was referring to the widespread speculation that the Duchess of Sussex is eyeing a profession in politics, adding fuel to the hearth of unconfirmed reports that she got her sights set on the White House.
While the Sussexes have yet to publicly react to the animated episode, it seemingly proved to be a well-liked hit amongst viewers.
The episode, which begins with a disclaimer saying all characters — even in the event that they’re based on real people — are fictional, centers around a pair who move to a fictional town for privacy.
And regardless that the episode doesn’t explicitly name the couple, viewers noticed that the pair look exactly just like the royals and even wear the identical outfits as they do.
Elsewhere within the episode, the pair promote the prince’s recent book titled “Waaagh” — which bears an uncanny resemblance to Prince Harry’s recently released memoir, “Spare.”
“We just wish to be normal people — all this attention is so hard,” the prince says within the episode after admitting he “hates” journalists.
The couple later boards a flashy private jet and set off on their “Worldwide Privacy Tour.”
As for Markle’s rumored political bid, unconfirmed reports suggesting that the mom of two has been forging connections with top Democrats have long circulated. Despite infinite whispers, there isn’t any solid evidence that she is serious about running for an elected office.
In March 2021, investigative journalist Tom Bower, who’s writing a forthcoming unauthorized biography of Markle, said he believes it’s “likely” the previous “Suits” star will try her hand at politics.
“The prospect of Meghan running for president is feasible and I’d even say likely,” Bower told Closer magazine, as DailyMail.com reported on the time. “I actually consider it’s where she sees herself going.”
Within the run-up to the 2020 election between President Donald Trump and Vice President Joe Biden, conservatives accused Prince Harry and Markle of interfering by encouraging Americans to register to vote.
The famous couple also warned Americans in regards to the spread of misinformation and condemned hate speech in a video for Time 100.
In response to those remarks, Trump said he was “not a fan” of Markle, and quipped that he wished “loads of luck to Harry because he’s going to wish it.”
