South Park points out major flaw with Harry and Meghan's biggest complaint

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were savagely roasted on South Park - with their biggest complaint being completely dismantled.

Show creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone went to incredible lengths to poke fun at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but referred to them throughout the latest episode as the fictional 'Prince and Princess of Canada'

During the hilarious episode, everything from his frostbitten todger to her magazine covers and even that candle scandal got dragged up.

However, one of the most brutal takedowns was focused on his highly-anticipated book, Spare, which was released in January this year.

Although it had a very different name in the South Park universe, as the autobiography was called 'Waaagh'.

During the episode, the cartoon versions of the couple appear on Good Morning Canada while holding signs which read "Stop Looking At Us" and "We Want Our Privacy".

When confronting the pair about hating journalists, the frustrated host points out a massive flaw with their argument - that Harry has become one himself due to his new book.

It's been a criticism levelled at the couple by many, who have claimed Harry has revealed more private information about the Royal Family than anyone else.

"We just want to be normal people - all this attention is so hard," the cartoon prince replies.

When the presenter claims the prince's wife doesn't really want privacy, the outraged royal replies: "How dare you, sir! My Instagram-loving b**** wife has always wanted her privacy."

After storming off set, the couple then go on a 'Worldwide Privacy Tour' to France, India and Canada - then starting counting off every American state.

Later on, the topic of Harry's book comes up again in very crude fashion.

Kyle is sick of seeing them everywhere and wishes they would just shut up, so it gets awkward when they move into the house opposite.

The schoolboy is seen complaining to his friends, saying: "They have this huge jet parked in front of my house and they keep on wanting me to buy their book."

While Kyle is playing computer games, Harry storms over to his house and starts wiping his 'blue todger' against the window.

"Hey. Have some respect for people's privacy," shouts the cartoon prince while exposing himself.

This is of course a reference to Harry's very detailed description of the time he got a frostbitten penis in Spare.

It was reported that the portrayal of the Sussexes in the TV show "upset and overwhelmed" Meghan, according to a The Spectator source.

The insider also added that she "is annoyed by South Park but refuses to watch it all".

After the episode aired, there were some reports claiming they were considering legal action against the cartoon makers.

Neil Sean 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."

But almost a week after the episode first aired, the couple broke their silence by issuing a statement about claims they might sue.

Their spokesperson reportedly said "this is baseless and boring" in a statement given to Newsweek.

Meghan's half-sister Samantha Markle has slammed the couple for reacting to a cartoon show.

"It's a cartoon," she said while appearing on GB News, telling presenter Dan Wootton that the couple "can't claim copyright on likenesses".

"Excuse me, I never got the memo that God died and they become God," Samantha sensationally claimed during her interview. "Suddenly [they] got a copyright on all things comedy."

While Piers Morgan, a long-time hater of the couple, has obviously been moaning about their response.

The outspoken presenter claimed the Sussexes "can't laugh at themselves" and predicts they "will be seething" after being roasted on the adult cartoon.

Speaking on his TalkTV show on Tuesday night, Piers discussed "the rumours [Harry and Meghan] are suing" the South Park team and claimed the couple "don't have that valve" to laugh at themselves.

"Being a global laughing stock, as they've been made by South Park, they won't take it as a badge of honour," the long-time critic of Harry and Meghan mused on his show.

"They'll be absolutely seething."
