His highness could also be getting a kick out of this animation humiliation.
Prince William’s funny bones are in for a superb tickling, owing to the recent, thinly-veiled slings geared toward his estranged brother Harry and Meghan Markel via the Comedy Central animated series “South Park.”
And royal experts predict that the prince will struggle to take care of his composure on the sight of cartoon depictions of the exiled Duke and Duchess of Sussex chanting, “We would like privacy,” on a national platform.
“William, I’m sure, doesn’t watch ‘South Park,’” said a royal insider on “Good Morning Britain” on Friday. “But I reckon one in every of his friends can have seen it on social media and [sent a clip his way].”
The Buckingham Palace whisperer continued of the prince, “I feel he’s probably seen it and can have had a wry smile on his face [when watching].”
Prince William, 40, and Harry, 38, have reportedly been embroiled in familial discord for the reason that younger of the royal brothers married Markel, 41, in May 2018.
Shortly after tying the knot, the newlyweds officially stepped back their regal designations in February 2021 and relocated to California in an effort to create “space” between themselves and the royals out of the general public eye.
Nonetheless, Harry and Meghan have since come under fire by critics questioning the couple’s purported pursuit of privacy while concurrently making explosive statements against the majestic family — lots of which were made in Harry’s 2023 memoir “Spare.”
The irony of the pair’s conduct looked as if it would serve because the butt of the most recent “South Park” episode, titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour.”
Show creators kicked off the cartoon with a disclaimer, insisting that every one characters — even when based on real people — were, actually, fictional.
Nonetheless, noting the curly red hair of the male caricature, and the tan complexion of his female companion — each known as the “prince and princess of Canada” — viewers quickly surmised that drawings of the “dumb prince” and his “silly wife” were meant to poke fun at Harry and Meghan.
In the course of the cheeky episode, the couple, who’ve been publicly bashed for besmirching the Canadian monarchy, appears as guests on “Good Morning Canada,” where they brandish picket signs reading, “We would like privacy!!” and “Stop us!”
“We just need to be normal people. All this attention is so hard,” says the prince, who’s promoting his tome entitled “Waaagh.”
The couple later boards a flashy private jet to embark on their “Worldwide Privacy Tour.” In an try and seem “normal,” the twosome ultimately tries settling down in South Park, where they’re fiercely met with hatred — namely from show star Kyle.
“They’ve this huge jet parked in front of my house, and so they carry on wanting me to purchase their book,” Kyle laments.
“I‘m sick of hearing about them. But I can’t get away from them, they’re in all places. In my f–king face.”
