South Park fans hail 'pure gold' episode as producers rip into Prince Harry and Meghan

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were the butt of the jokes on the latest episode of South Park after a couple based on the royals were seen to move across the road from Kyle - and fans were absolutely loving it.

As the characterised couple labelled 'the prince of Canada and his wife' continued to plead for privacy in the comical skit, at one stage the prince is seen getting out his blue penis in a reference to Harry revealng he got frostbite down below during a North Pole trek.

Fans quickly took to social media to share their reaction to the cartoon, with many hailing the animation.

One Twitter user wrote: "The #southpark episode of Harry and Meghan is pure effing gold."

Another added: "New #SouthPark is awesome so far!!! They are definitely ripping on Harry and Meghan," while a third commented: "South Park has seriously nailed Meghan Markle & Prince Harry. #SouthPark."

A fourth added: "#SouthPark is absolutely torching Harry and Meghan right now!!," alongside a flame emoji and crying with laughter face.

And another user wrote: "#southpark I’m a Meghan and Harry fan and I’m actually digging this episode so far. It’s miles better than The Prince."

The new episode began with a disclaimer saying all characters - even if they're based on real people - are indeed fictional.

At the start, Kyle's younger brother Ike appeared to be distraught over the death of the Queen. As he watched a stream of the monarch's funeral, a fake Elton John character began to sing - badly - before the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were roundly booed as they made their way to their seats.

The couple were then seen on the set of Good Morning Canada brandishing picket signs urging for privacy before the host roasted them for Harry's new book.

After they stormed off stage, picking up their signs on the way, they were mocked as they embarked on a "worldwide privacy tour" before ending up moving next door to Kyle.

The youngster - who was trying to work on his own brand - was later forced to call the cops on his new neighbours as they put up banners asking for privacy while causing a disturbance by playing polo and drums on the lawn.

As Harry and Meghan were seen struggling to get the attention they "didn't want", they end up at the same agency to try to change their brand, with the prince giving a powerful speech about actually wanting privacy, before he is met by silence from his wife.

The eagerly anticipated episode of the show created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone and developed by Brian Graden was billed 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 real 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+.
