Every time Prince Harry and Meghan have been mocked on TV 

It’s a royal laugh. 

Ever since their romance became public in 2016 and they tied the knot in 2018, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have become a TV punchline.

The Sussexes – who are now 39 and 42, respectively, and share children Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 2 – have provided lots of fodder for jokes.

From their departure from England to California, known as “Megxit,” to their infamous Oprah Winfrey interview, to their Netflix series “Harry & Meghan,” to Harry’s book “Spare,” they keep putting themselves in the spotlight, offering up personal information, and dishing dirt on the royal family. 

Here are the times they’ve been mocked on TV.

“South Park”

The infamously cutting Comedy Central show took aim at the couple in a February 2023 episode, titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour.”

The episode doesn’t explicitly name the couple, but the cartoons bore a striking resemblance to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. 

In the episode, the pair, who are called “dumb,” appear on TV talk show “Good Morning Canada,” where the prince holds up a sign that reads, “We want privacy!” The princess, standing next to him, holds up a sign that reads, “Stop looking at us.”

The couple also promotes the prince’s book titled “Waaagh” — mocking Prince Harry’s memoir, “Spare.”

Markle was allegedly “upset and overwhelmed” by the episode.

The Grammys 

At the 65th annual Grammy Awards, which aired in February 2023 hosted by Trevor Noah, Noah made fun of Prince Harry for his infamous talk about his “frost bitten penis” in his book, “Spare.” While welcoming James Corden to the stage, Noah said, “James Corden is a 12-time Emmy winner and the host of ‘The Late Late Show.’ He’s also living proof that a man can move from London to L.A. and not tell everyone about his frostbitten penis.”

Noah was next to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez when he made this remark, and the couple looked amused.

“The Windsors”

The British Channel 4 comedy mocked the beginning of the couple’s relationship in 2016, when headlines still marveled at the fact that Prince Harry chose an American actress best known for “Suits.” 

On the show, Harry tells Meghan that he had offered a producer a knighthood in exchange for helping Meghan find work.

Meghan’s character is upset by this, telling Harry that if she “is to make, I mean really make it, it’s needs to be because of who I am, not who I know.” She then storms off and says she’s going back to Los Angeles.

“The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” 

After Harry’s 60-minute interview was released in January 2023 to promote his memoir “Spare,” Fallon, 49, took a dig about the couple’s penchant for constant publicity. He joked that watching Harry’s interview is a “great chance to hear Harry and Meghan’s story…In case you missed their two-hour sit-down with Oprah or their six-part Netflix documentary.”

“Family Guy”

Seth MacFarlane’s cartoon comedy show roasted the couple for their Netflix deal – which is reportedly $100 million. Their Netflix deal got renewed attention after their $20 million Spotify deal got axed, causing Bill Simmons to call them “f–king grifters.” 

“Family Guy’s” third episode of Season 22, which aired in October 2023, shows Peter Griffin (MacFarlane) going off on an adventure to become a TV extra to make money.

“I’ll go it alone, just like Meghan Markle and Prince Harry,” he says. 

The scene then cuts to animated versions of Harry and Meghan, lounging by a pool, when their butler comes with a check. 

“Sir, your millions from Netflix for … No one knows what,” the butler says.

Harry replies: “Put it with the rest of them.”

“The Prince” 

The animated satirical Max series, which started airing in 2021 (when Max was still HBO Max) and featured a star-studded cast including Sophie Turner and Orlando Bloom, mocked Harry and Meghan’s job prospects. 

Onscreen, Harry says, “What are we going to do, can you get another show. I mean, not one that you act on darling, I know people don’t want to hire you for that anymore.”

Meghan replies, “HGTV did call my agent last week about us, but, at the time, I thought we were too good for them.”

“Spitting Image”

The oddball British comedy show – which features puppets acting out stories – mocked Harry and Meghan’s move to take a step back from the royal family in 2020. 

One scene depicts Harry with a box of crowns, asking if they can “Go in the recycling bin.”

Meghan then tells him, “Toss them on the goodwill pile!”
