Meghan Markle could 'impact the Sussex brand' with the 'wrong response' to her and Prince Harry's brutal grilling in the latest episode of South Park.
The former working Royals were branded "dumb and stupid" in the outrageous cartoon's recent episode cleverly titled 'The Worldwide Privacy Tour'.
In a clear jibe at Harry and Meghan, a description for last week's programme references a "prince and his wife" try to "find privacy and seclusion in a small mountain town".
During the show, a character complains about being "sick of hearing about them" - a more subtle line in the programme one expert says Meghan 'shouldn't' snap at.
US celebrity publicity expert Matt Yanofsky tells The Mirror that South Park was playing on the fact that " Meghan Markle is divisive".
He claims that if Meghan was to hit out at the animated TV show, created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, it could damage the 'Sussex brand'.
The Moment Lab founder told The Mirror: "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 hit-Comedy Central show is focused on Stan, Kyle, Eric and Kenny are all described as "four foul-mouthed friends who live in South Park".
During Harry and Meghan's episode, character Kyle is seen saying: "It seriously is driving me crazy. I'm sick of hearing about them but I can't get away from them!"
"They're everywhere. In my f****ing face," he adds while all of the characters are sitting around their school's dining hall – discussing 'prince and his wife'.

Another character, Stan, replies: "Look, Kyle, we just kind of don't care about some dumb prince and his stupid wife."
One royal expert now claims the couple "could call in the lawyers".
Neil Sean 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."
The episode fetched thousands of comments across social media, with some even saying they would tune in, especially for their mention.
"Ha ha ha even South Park is taking the p**s out of Prince Harry and Meghan," Tweeted one viewer. "South Park takes aim at Prince Harry and Meghan," said another.
A third penned: "I would love to know what Harry and Meghan are thinking now." While someone else wrote: "South Park is going in on Harry and Meghan."
