It seems nothing is off limits in comedy—and Meghan Markle and Prince Harry just found themselves in the firing line of one of America’s most outrageous shows. Family Guy has aired a savage sketch that didn’t just poke fun at the royal couple but went as far as comparing them to some of history’s darkest and most disastrous moments. The result? Reports say Meghan and Harry are absolutely furious.
The animated series, famous for its cutthroat satire, is no stranger to controversy, but this parody crossed into uncharted territory. The sketch painted Meghan and Harry as out-of-touch opportunists, mocking their Netflix deals, their tell-all interviews, and even their dramatic exit from royal duties. To many viewers, it was typical Family Guy humor—shocking, offensive, and unapologetically blunt. But for Meghan and Harry, who have fought for years to control their public image, this latest lampoon cuts deeper than usual.
The couple has been ridiculed in comedy before, from late-night talk shows to stand-up routines, but being portrayed as symbols of “the worst moments in history” takes things to a new level. Critics argue the joke trivialized not only the couple’s personal struggles but also real historical tragedies, making the sketch cruel rather than clever.
For Meghan and Harry, the timing couldn’t be worse. Already battling media backlash and facing relentless scrutiny over their projects and finances, the idea of being reduced to a punchline on one of TV’s most-watched animated comedies feels like yet another blow to their reputation. Sources suggest the couple is “seething,” with Meghan in particular said to be upset over how the sketch mocked her role in shaping their new life in America.
Fans of the Sussexes are rallying online, calling the segment distasteful and disrespectful, while others dismiss the outrage, insisting the couple should have expected to be lampooned once they stepped into the Hollywood spotlight. After all, Family Guy has never spared anyone—from presidents to pop stars, no one is safe.
Still, the backlash raises a bigger question: did the writers go too far this time? For a couple who left the royal family in search of freedom and respect, being reduced to a caricature in prime-time satire may be the very definition of the price they pay for fame.
