The Duchess of Sussex is said to be “upset and overwhelmed” at how she and the Duke have been portrayed in a cartoon parody.
One character complains they are “sick of hearing about them”, however Meghan should be careful about how she responds to these apparent jibes.
Celebrity publicity expert Matt Yanofsky told The Mirror that the show’s creators were playing on Meghan’s “divisiveness”.
He said: “Meghan Markle is divisive, and South Park is playing on that image, so it won’t impact her.

“South Park taking aim is a natural progression. Her brand hasn’t been damaged; if anything, things like this continue to show her relevancy.”
He explained: “If she responds in the wrong way, it could impact her differently.”
The animated TV show, created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, focusses on four friends Stan, Kyle, Eric and Kenny living together in South Park.

“They’re everywhere. In my f****ing face,” he says as the friends discuss the royal couple in their school canteen.
Another character, Stan, replies: “Look, Kyle, we just kind of don’t care about some dumb prince and his stupid wife.”

He told Fox News: “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.”
This is not the first time South Park has targeted the royals, as the Prince and Princess of Wales have also featured on the show.
