South Park's hidden Meghan Markle and Michelle Obama joke
‘Actress, influencer, victim… First Lady BOTHERER’: South Park creators take aim at Meghan Markle’s cooling relationship with Michelle Obama with hidden joke about Duchess
- The show’s detail appears to take aim at Meghan’s relationship with Michelle
- To rehab their image, the cartoon couple go to a brand management agency
- The Princess’s bio lists interests as ‘lawyer pretending’ and ‘first lady botherer’
A small detail hidden in South Park’s brutal takedown episode of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex takes aim at Meghan Markle’s relationship with Michelle Obama.
Though not naming Harry and Meghan, the TV show depicted the fictional Prince and Princess of Canada – a young royal couple who repeatedly beg for privacy while drawing attention to themselves, and who bear an uncanny resemblance to the Duke and Duchess.
The red-headed prince and his wife, who wears the same dusty pink outfit that Meghan donned for Trooping the Color in 2018, along with a near-identical hat that sits askew on her head, are seen promoting the prince’s book, Waaagh, the cover of which strongly resembles Harry’s memoir Spare.
In the episode, the couple embark on a ‘Worldwide Privacy Tour’ showing the cartoon couple doing TV interviews before moving to South Park ‘for privacy.’

To rehabilitate their image, the Prince and Princess of Canada seek help from a brand management agency.
While there viewers get a peek at the Princess’s profile, which describes her as ‘sorority girl, actress, influencer and victim.’
It includes her interests, including yoga, calligraphy, cuisine, writing, lifestyle, advocating, acting, blogging and feminism.
The profile also lists lawyer pretending and first lady botherer.
The first is a reference to Meghan’s role in legal drama Suits and the second seems to suggest she is bothering Former First Lady Michelle Obama.
Harry has grown close to the Obamas over a number of years and spoke at a summit for the Obama Foundation in November 2017.
They have also worked together closely, previously promoting the Invictus Games.
In 2018, it emerged a pregnant Meghan had secretly attended Michelle Obama’s book event in London.
Following the event Meghan met Michelle backstage, in what has been described as a ‘power meeting’.
It was understood the women discussed a range of topics during the ‘long private audience,’ including pregnancy, raising a family and their shared interest in promoting girls’ education, the Evening Standard reported.
But Tom Bower’s 2018 book – Revenge: Meghan, Harry And The War Between The Windsors – claimed Michelle was ‘alarmed’ by Meghan’s attitude during their first meeting, according to Newsweek.
‘The Duchess appears not to have appreciated how much the Obamas admired the Queen,’ Tom wrote.
‘Meghan’s attitude alarmed Michelle. Her advice to Meghan was delivered in public.

‘”Take some time,” Obama said in an interview, “and don’t be in a hurry to do anything.”
‘In a warning note, she added: “Like me, Meghan probably never dreamt she’d have a life like this; no-deal, the pressure you feel can sometimes feel like a lot.”‘
Michelle also reacted to Meghan and Harry’s 2021 Oprah interview, saying that she personally chose to focus on the people she ‘serves’ rather than herself while in public service in what appeared to be a thinly veiled swipe at the couple.
The former first lady was asked by Jenna Bush Hager what she thought of Meghan’s comments in a segment that aired on NBC at the time.
‘When you watched Meghan Markle speak out, what went through your mind?’ Bush Hager asked.
Michelle replied: ‘Public service it’s a bright, sharp, hot spotlight and most people don’t understand it nor should they. The thing that I always keep in mind is that none of this is about us, in public service, it’s about the people that we serve.

‘I always try to push the light back out and focus it on the folks that we’re actually here to serve.’
In the latest South Park episode, the Prince and Princess of Canada are also shown storming off during a TV show after being challenged about their motives, before moving to South Park, with the princess declaring: ‘If we moved here, people would think we’re really serious about wanting to be normal.’
But their arrival enrages the local community – in particular main character Kyle, who lives opposite them.
He complains about their private jet that is parked outside the house and the prince playing polo on the lawn.
‘They have this huge jet parked in front of my house and they keep on wanting me to buy their book,’ he complains to his friends: Kenny, Cartman and Stan.
The episode takes multiple, thinly-veiled swipes at the Sussexes, who embark on a worldwide ‘we want privacy’ tour while shouting at bemused locals, and seemingly pokes fun at Harry’s frostbitten penis, which he detailed in his memoir.
