Prince Harry and Meghan Markle "could call in the lawyers" after being mercilessly parodied on an episode of South Park parody, a royal expert has claimed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were front and centre of a recent episode of the long-running cartoon entitled The Worldwide Privacy Tour, which saw them dubbed the Prince and Princess of Canada.
In the episode, the couple are given a tour of South Park, with the Meghan character stating: "If we moved here, people would think we’re really serious about wanting to be normal."
The Harry character is also seen pushing his new book Waaaagh, in a dig at his tell-all memoir Spare.
While the episode went down a storm with fans, it seems like the pair are not as impressed and may get lawyers involved - a royal expert has claimed.
It has been reported that Meghan and Harry's legal team are looking into the episode themselves, too.
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 shows a young royal couple who are begging for privacy while still drawing attention to themselves.
The character thought to be Harry is a red-haired prince along with his wife, who wears the exact-same light pink outfit that Meghan wore for Trooping the Colour in 2018.
During the episode, the couple are plugging the prince's book "Waaagh", with the cover resembling Harry's bestselling memoir Spare.
However, it is not confirmed whether legal action will be taken or not, according to Fox News.
Fans quickly took to social media to react to the episode, with one calling it "gold".
One wrote: "The #southpark episode of Harry and Meghan is pure effing gold."
"#SouthPark is absolutely torching Harry and Meghan right now!!," another added.
A third said: "New #SouthPark is awesome so far!!! They are definitely ripping on Harry and Meghan," while a fourth commented: "South Park has seriously nailed Meghan Markle & Prince Harry. #SouthPark."
Another tweeted: "South Park have slaughtered harry & Meghan and it’s absolutely spot on man."

The new episode began with a disclaimer saying all characters, even if they're based on real people, are indeed fictional.
The eagerly anticipated episode of the show created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone and developed by Brian Graden was described prior to airing as: "The prince of Canada and his wife try to find privacy and seclusion in a small mountain town."
Making reference to the Duke and Duchess, some fans couldn't believe how far the hit-adult television programme had gone with some of its dialogue.
New episodes of SOUTH PARK are available on Fridays on Paramount+.
