Meghan Markle is said to be "upset and overwhelmed" following a sketch of herself and Prince Harry in a recent episode of South Park, which branded them "dumb and stupid".
The US cartoon, titled 'The Worldwide Privacy Tour', aired on Wednesday, February 15 and sparked a huge debate over the cameos.
The skit was clearly a dig at Harry and Meghan, as the description for last week's programme references a "prince and his wife" try to "find privacy and seclusion in a small mountain town".
