<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/prince-charles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">King Charles III</a> is preparing to make more cuts to the monarchy, with the recent head-turning <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/king-charles-to-evict-harry-and-meghan-give-frogmore-cottage-to-disgraced-prince-with-epstein-ties-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">eviction</a> of his son, ex-royal <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/prince-harry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prince Harry</a> and wife Meghan Markle, <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/king-charles-plan-slimmed-down-monarchy-frogmore-cottage-harry-meghan-b1069700.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> just the “tip of the iceberg.” 
Harry and Meghan confirmed this month that they had been asked to “vacate” Frogmore Cottage, located in Windsor, England. 
“There will be staff cutbacks. That has already started. The buzz phrase is ‘value for money,’” a source <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/king-charles-plan-slimmed-down-monarchy-frogmore-cottage-harry-meghan-b1069700.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the Evening Standard. 
King Charles, working with his son Prince William, wishes to reduce the number of royals financially dependent on the crown, especially for those who, like Harry and Meghan, play no active role in the royal family. 
&#8220;The King is not some sort of housing association for distant relatives,” another source said. 
The king reportedly wants funds to be spent more effectively, while paring down the number of staffers – the situation was described as advisors having their own advisors. For those who are employed by the crown, though, King Charles wants more competitive salaries and pensions. 
Harry and Meghan notably used roughly <a href="https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/prince-harry-meghan-markle-repay-cost-frogmore-cottage-renovations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$3 million from taxpayers</a> to renovate Frogmore Cottage following their marriage. But after the couple left the royal family, they agreed to pay back the millions of dollars used in the renovation. 
The embattled couple, who&#8217;ve made racial accusations against the royal family, were notified about their eviction around the same time Harry&#8217;s bombshell tell-all memoir &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Audible-Spare/dp/B0BJ4JGQGS/ref=sr_1_1?crid=QQQKC33Z6VSN&amp;keywords=spare+prince+harry&amp;qid=1677537259&amp;sprefix=Spare%2Caps%2C193&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spare</a>&#8221; was gaining international traction. Keeping on-theme with the couple&#8217;s ouster from the family, &#8220;Spare&#8221; painted the royals in a very negative light and allegedly detailed private conversations.

Still, King Charles has apparently invited Harry and Megan to his upcoming coronation, set for May 6.
“I can confirm The Duke has recently received email correspondence from His Majesty’s office regarding the coronation,” a spokesperson for the Sussex’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/king-charles-makes-decision-whether-prince-harry-and-meghan-markle-will-be-at-coronation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a> earlier this month.
When Harry was asked if he&#8217;ll be attending the monumental event, he <a href="https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a42405944/will-prince-harry-meghan-markle-attend-king-charles-coronation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> ITV&#8217;s Tom Bradby, &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot that can happen between now and then. But, the door is always open. The ball is in their court. &#8230; There&#8217;s a lot to be discussed and I really hope that they&#8217;re willing to sit down and talk about it.&#8221;
During the same interview, the ex-royal said he wants &#8220;a family, not an institution,&#8221; adding, &#8220;I would like to get my father back. I would like to have my brother back.&#8221;

Journalist and commentator <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/piers-morgan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Piers Morgan</a> explained the fall of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/meghan-markle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meghan Markle</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/prince-harry-tells-trauma-expert-he-doesnt-see-himself-as-a-victim-after-getting-mocked-on-south-park" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prince Harry</a> culminated after a &#8220;weird series of events,&#8221; including the exposure of the couple&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/climate-change" target="_blank" rel="noopener">climate alarmism</a> hypocrisy. 
Morgan sat down with Daily Wire editor emeritus <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ben-shapiro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro</a> for this week&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/sunday-special" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sunday Special</a>. The pair once <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=258VfiGUh1c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">memorably battled it out</a> over the Second Amendment before becoming friends.
&#8220;I knew her a bit before she met Harry, and she seemed perfectly normal, albeit like most L.A. actresses I&#8217;ve met,&#8221; Morgan told Shapiro. &#8220;But she seemed fine and I believe, normal.&#8221;
Then came &#8220;a weird series of events.&#8221;
&#8220;One was the wedding, where she suddenly fell out spectacularly with her father, who we now know had brought her up on his own for quite a few years,&#8221; Morgan continued. &#8220;It all seemed a bit sort of brutal and weird because he was just a guy out of his depth — couldn&#8217;t handle the media, he was being bothered by paparazzi.&#8221;
Morgan noted that the British people initially loved the couple, emphasizing the size and taxpayer-funded expense of their wedding.
&#8220;But then over the next few months, there&#8217;s a series of what you could call the missteps, or you could call them classic examples of brazen woke hypocrisy, two people wanting to position themselves, for example, as eco-warriors.&#8221;
While the pair preached to the people about minimizing their eco-footprint, Meghan and Harry seemed unable to follow their own rules.
&#8220;&#8216;We want you to all watch your carbon footprint&#8217; — they would say this in speeches, and then they catch Elton John&#8217;s private plane like a taxi service, or she would preach about poverty in a tweet from their royal Twitter account on the same day she had a half a million dollar baby shower in New York, here, with a bunch of celebrities and flew back on Amal Clooney&#8217;s plane,&#8221; Morgan outlined. 
&#8220;And so this went on and it was one after another,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And because of the hypocrisy element, the British media in particular were very critical, very scathing, saying, hang on a second, you don&#8217;t get all the palaces and the servants and the privileged life for this, you have to toe the line. You have to do the job, which involves, often, quite dreary duties as a member of the royal family.&#8221;
Meghan in particular didn&#8217;t &#8220;seem to understand this,&#8221; he said. &#8220;She thought that actually being a member of their family was wearing a tiara, getting a fabulous wedding, and then doing what the hell you like. So they began to just do a lot of stuff which annoyed people.&#8221;
When the pair earned what Morgan framed as &#8220;thoroughly deserved&#8221; criticism, they pinned it on the media and played victim. Harry&#8217;s hatred of the media, stemming back to the loss of his mother, and his likely resentment of his older brother as heir, ultimately fueled the victim narrative.
&#8220;That all began to blow up again, as did his resentment of his family and the fact that William, his older brother, is the heir to the throne and he isn&#8217;t,&#8221; Morgan said. &#8220;So William will be king. Harry won&#8217;t. And then you put it all together, and then you get &#8216;Megxit,&#8217; where they leave the country, they leave the royal family.&#8221; 
Shapiro noted that Morgan early on saw the troubles ahead, and though he was ridiculed for it, his take &#8220;aged like fine wine.&#8221;
&#8220;If you remember my exact phrase that apparently was so &#8216;problematic&#8217; was, I wouldn&#8217;t believe Meghan Markle if she read me a weather report,&#8221; Morgan recalled. &#8220;And that has really stood the test of time.&#8221;

Prince Harry recently opened up about how he started using <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/prince-harry-admits-psychedelic-drugs-helped-him-deal-traumas-past?intcmp=tw_fnc">hallucinogenic drugs</a> like ayahuasca recreationally but said the &#8220;psychedelics&#8221; are now a &#8220;fundamental&#8221; part of changing his life.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/prince-harry-to-talk-about-struggles-with-trauma-expert-following-south-park-skewering">Duke of Sussex</a> made the comments on Saturday during an interview with Canadian doctor and author Gabor Maté, <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/03/04/prince-harry-psychedelics-are-fundamental-part-of-life/">Page Six</a> reported.
&#8220;It was the cleaning of the windscreen, the removal of life&#8217;s filters — these layers of filters — it removed it all for me and brought me a sense of relaxation, relief, comfort, a lightness that I managed to hold back for a period of time,&#8221; the duke shared.
&#8220;I started doing it recreationally and then started to realize how good it was for me,&#8221; the royal added.

&#8220;I would say it is one of the fundamental parts of my life that changed me and helped me deal with the traumas and the pains of the past,&#8221; the duke continued. &#8220;They&#8217;re unlocking so much of what we&#8217;ve suppressed.&#8221;
In the royal&#8217;s recent tell-all memoir &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Audible-Spare/dp/B0BJ4JGQGS/ref=sr_1_1?crid=QQQKC33Z6VSN&amp;keywords=spare+prince+harry&amp;qid=1677537259&amp;sprefix=Spare%2Caps%2C193&amp;sr=8-1">Spare</a>,&#8221; Prince Harry talked about his other drug use, including experimenting with cocaine and marijuana as a teenager.
Prince Harry wrote that he was first offered cocaine &#8220;at someone&#8217;s country house.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;d been offered a line, and I&#8217;d done a few more since,&#8221; he added, calling using it not &#8220;much fun.&#8221;

The duke said that the drug didn&#8217;t &#8220;make [him] particularly happy&#8221; but admitted he took it because it made &#8220;[him] feel different,&#8221; which he says was the &#8220;main goal.&#8221;
The prince also revealed that he tried magic mushrooms at a party held at Courtney Cox&#8217;s home.
&#8220;My mate and I grabbed several, gobbled them, washed them down with tequila,&#8221; Harry wrote after he discovered a box of &#8220;black diamond mushroom chocolates.&#8221;
Cox responded to the headlines, insisting she wasn&#8217;t the one handing them out, <a href="https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/courteney-cox-friends-prince-harry-1235531048/">Variety</a> noted.
&#8220;I&#8217;m not saying there were mushrooms!&#8221; the &#8220;Friends&#8221; alum shared. &#8220;I definitely wasn&#8217;t passing them out.&#8221;

The King ascended the throne in September 2022 following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II at 96.

Relations between the royal couple and the family have not been the best following Harry and Markle&#8217;s initial decision to step down from their senior roles in January of 2020. In January 2023, the prince released his tell-all memoir that took aim at Harry&#8217;s brother and sister-in-law the Prince and Princess of Wales along with his father King Charles, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/silence-is-betrayal-prince-harry-sits-down-with-60-minutes-ahead-of-memoir-release">reported</a>.
In the memoir, the royal <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ellievhall/prince-harry-spare-royal-reporters-commentators-editors">blames the media</a> for destroying his relationship with his family, writing, &#8220;How lost we are, I thought. How far we&#8217;ve strayed. How much damage has been done to our love, our bond, and why?

Prince Harry told a trauma expert in an interview that aired over the weekend that he does not view himself as a &#8220;victim,&#8221; which comes just a couple of weeks after he and his wife Meghan Markle were mocked on &#8220;South Park.&#8221;
The episode, titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour,” mocked both royal figures by showing thinly veiled stand-ins for the couple, “The Prince and Princess of Canada,” who claim they seek a life of privacy while seemingly trying to inject themselves into the public spotlight.
“I certainly don’t see myself as a victim,” Harry told Dr. Gabor Maté on Saturday while discussing his book. “I’m really grateful to be able to share my story in the hopes that it will help, empower, encourage others and, hopefully, let people understand — again back to the human experience — [that] we are in some shape and form all connected, especially through trauma.&#8221;
“I know how important it is to share these stories; how you can save a life and improve lives because you’re almost giving people permission to talk about their own stuff and be themselves,” he added.
“I do not and have never looked for sympathy in this,” he added in an apparent reference to the South Park episode.
Markle, Duchess of Sussex, was reportedly furious over how the couple was portrayed in the episode. A source told the Spectator that the Duchess of Sussex was “upset and overwhelmed” by the show’s mockery of the couple and that she “refuses to watch it all” because of how “annoyed” she is by the whole situation.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The New York Post reported that a royal commentator said the couple could pursue legal action over the episode, although that has not materialized.
“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,” royal reporter Neil Sean said. “Their legal team are casting an eye over the episode to see what is wrong, and what could be turned into something more sinister.”

“This appears to be their course of action rather than laughing it off, enjoying the moment and showing the world that they get the joke and understand this is how they may be perceived, and maybe, dare we say, change … dare we?” he continued. “The makers of ‘South Park’ have, as yet, received nothing but I am told they are aware of this and have nothing to fear, simply because they have the legals all over this and know they could not have broadcast it without the watertight details flattened out.”
However, a spokesperson for the couple said that claims that the couple was pursuing legal action were “baseless and boring.”
The Daily Mail noted that the statement from the spokesperson did not address claims that the couple’s lawyers were actively monitoring the show for future attacks, nor did the statement address reports that Markle was angered by the episode.

Prince Harry Tells Trauma Expert He Doesn’t See Himself As ‘A Victim’ After Getting Mocked On South Park

South Park

He stalked the stage like a panther. An animal, a predator. And he went there. Oh man did he go there.
Every time I think Dave Chappelle is the best, Chris Rock comes along and knocks him off the top perch. On Saturday night, Rock held court on a Baltimore stage in the first-ever live Netflix comedy special.
The special&#8217;s title: &#8220;Selective Outrage.&#8221;
On abortion: &#8220;If you need to pay for your own abortion, you need to get an abortion.&#8221;
On woke culture: &#8220;Right now we live in a world where the emergency room is filled up with motherf***ers with paper cuts.&#8221;
On Meghan Markle: &#8220;It’s the royal family. They’re the original racists. They invented colonialism. They are the OG’s of racism.&#8221;
But everyone was waiting for him to address &#8220;the slap heard &#8217;round the world.&#8221; Actor Will Smith slapped Rock nearly a year ago on the Oscars stage, and Rock has spoken about the incident only sparingly.
Not Saturday night. You&#8217;ll have to watch the special to get the real flavor, but here&#8217;s the cleaned-up version.
&#8220;Will Smith practices selective outrage because everyone that knows what happened, everybody that really knows, knows I had nothing to do with that s***. I didn’t have any entanglements,” Rock said.

&#8220;Now I normally wouldn’t talk about this s***. But for some reason these n***** put that s*** on the internet. I have no idea why two talented people would do something that f***** low down. What the f***?” he said.
&#8220;We’ve all been cheated on, everybody in here has been cheated on. None of us have been interviewed by the person that cheated on us on television, like, &#8216;Hey I was sucking somebody else’s d***, how did that make you feel?&#8217; Why the f*** would you do that s***?”
Of Jada Pinkett-Smith, Rock said: &#8220;Nobody&#8217;s picking on this b****, she started it. Nobody was picking on her. And then this n**** gives me a f*** concussion, OK. What the f***, man?&#8221;
Why did Rock just stand there and take the slap? He addressed that, too.
&#8220;A lot of people are like, &#8216;Chris why didn’t you do nothing back?&#8217; Because I got parents that’s why, because I was raised. And you know what my parents taught me? Don’t fight in front of white people.&#8221;
With that, he dropped the mic and walked off. Next to him was a very &#8212; very &#8212; large bodyguard. In this world of selective outrage, even comedians now need protection.
The show got off to a fiery start. Just 30 seconds in, as Rock said, &#8220;I&#8217;m gonna&#8217; try to do a show without offending anyone,&#8221; someone in the crowd was shouting something. Rock right away showed who was in charge: &#8220;N**** sit down!&#8221;
The heckler was never heard from again.
Rock is among the top social commentators of our time &#8212; think a modern-day Mark Twain. Remember, this is the man who did &#8220;N***** Vs. Black People&#8221; back in 1997, saying the former glorify ignorance and laziness and brag about fulfilling even the most minute responsibility.
On Saturday, the 58-year-old comedian got right to the issue of the day, unworried about being canceled. He opened by taking shots at people who get “triggered” and believe that “words hurt.”
&#8220;You never know who might get triggered. You say the wrong thing, motherf***ers get scared. You know what people say, &#8216;Words hurt.&#8217; Anybody that says that words hurt has never been punched in the face,” Rock said. “Words hurt &#8212; when you write them on a brick.”
And Rock delivered some advice. &#8220;Don’t fall into the woke trap at all.&#8221; He said he supports equal rights for all people and social justice.
&#8220;The thing I have a problem with is the selective outrage. One person does something, they get canceled. Somebody does the exact same thing, nothing.&#8221;
That phenomenon Rock dubbed &#8220;selective outrage.&#8221;
Just a couple days after Hershey&#8217;s released a candy bar on International Women&#8217;s Day that featured a transgender &#8212; the wrapper said &#8220;HerShe&#8221; &#8212; Rock took aim at all the woke businesses out there, trying to pitch their social awareness to sell more product.
&#8220;&#8216;We like to give back. We don&#8217;t even like the money. We like to give back.&#8217; I was in the mall the other day, I went by the store Lululemon, I walk by and in the window of every Lululemon there’s a sign that says, ‘We don’t support racism, sexism, discrimination, or hate,&#8217;” he said. “And I’m like, ‘who gives a f&#8212;?’ You’re just selling yoga pants. I don’t need your yoga pants politics. Tell me how you work on b&#8212; sweat.&#8221;
Rock later hit an easy target &#8212; the royal family. He shredded Meghan Markle, who is half black, for playing the victim. She claimed on a show with Oprah Winfrey that members of the royal family questioned how black a baby would be with her ultra-white husband, Prince Harry.
&#8220;&#8216;Oprah, they’re so racist they wanted to know how brown the baby was going to be,'&#8221; Rock said, playing Markle. &#8220;I’m like, ‘That’s not racist, because even black people want to know how brown the baby going to be. S***, we check behind the ears. That’s a scientific test because you’ve got to know what kind of black child you going to get,&#8217;” he said.
&#8220;I know her dilemma: black girl trying to be accepted by her white in-laws. Oh, it’s hard. It’s so hard, it’s very hard – but it ain’t as hard as a white girl trying to be accepted by her black in-laws. Now that s*** is really hard,” he said. &#8220;I’m like, ‘If you black and you wanted to be accepted by your white in-laws then you need to marry a Kardashian because they accept everybody.'&#8221;

King Charles III may be planning to evict his son <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/what-disingenuous-tripe-piers-morgan-unloads-on-prince-harry-in-scathing-book-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prince Harry</a> — and his wife, American actress Meghan Markle — from Frogmore Cottage and give the residence to disgraced Prince Andrew.
According to a <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/02/28/king-charles-to-evict-harry-and-meghan-from-frogmore-cottage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> published Wednesday by entertainment site Page Six, insiders have claimed that Charles actually began taking steps to evict the royal ex-pats the day after his son&#8217;s bombshell memoir &#8220;Spare&#8221; — which casts a decidedly ugly light on the British monarchy in general and on Charles directly — hit bookstores worldwide.
&#8220;This eviction surely spells the end of Harry and Meghan’s time in the UK,&#8221; a source told The U.S. Sun, according to a <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/lifestyle/7515337/harry-meghan-evicted-frogmore-cottage-king-charles/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> the outlet published on Tuesday.
Harry and Markle officially left the U.K. for California after stepping away from their royal duties, but they still retained a residence at Frogmore Cottage. Sources told Page Six that they have arranged to have the last of their belongings shipped to the United States.
Frogmore Cottage — the Windsor home that was given to Harry and Meghan by the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2018 — won&#8217;t stand empty for long if Charles gets his way, the reports allege. It&#8217;s meant to be the new residence of Prince Andrew, the disgraced royal who was stripped of his titles and duties over ties to the late financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
But Andrew is reportedly resisting the move, namely because the five-bedroom &#8220;cottage&#8221; at Windsor is quite a step down from his current residence at the Royal Lodge — a massive, sprawling estate that boasts a 30-bedroom mansion in addition to a pool and nearly 100 acres of land.
&#8220;Andrew is resisting the idea of moving into Frogmore Cottage after he was offered it last week,&#8221; an unnamed source told The Sun.
The Duke of York has <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/king-charles-bars-prince-andrew-from-swanky-apartment-in-buckingham-palace-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fallen out of favor</a> in recent years over his ties to Epstein, and King Charles also just recently evicted him from his previous residence, a swanky apartment inside Buckingham Palace.

Entertainment Tonight noted in a <a href="https://www.etonline.com/king-charles-iii-removes-prince-andrews-access-to-former-apartment-and-office-at-buckingham-palace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> at the time that Andrew had already moved his primary residence from Buckingham Palace to the Royal Lodge at the time, but he had retained access to the rooms until Charles took action, barring him from both his apartment and his old office inside the palace.

Prince Harry To Talk About Struggles With ‘Trauma Expert’ Following ‘South Park’ Skewering

Prince Harry To Talk About Struggles With ‘Trauma Expert’ Following 'South Park' Skewering

The satirical, irreverent, oftentimes offensive adult cartoon “South Park” has been trending recently because it dared to make fun of the transgender movement. This led to many social media users wondering if the show is secretly conservative or, at the very least, if the writers are willing to take a sane approach to hot-button social issues.
Fans started circulating a few clips highlighting the madness of the trans movement and the people involved in it.
One of the more popular scenes from a 2005 episode of the show paints the character Mr. Garrison (who is on a mission to become Mrs. Garrison) as delusional and oblivious. It’s the sort of content that would never get approved in today’s political climate.
The episode “Mr. Garrison’s Fancy New Vagina” first aired on March 9, 2005, per IMDb. In it, the quirky teacher heads to a Planned Parenthood clinic to procure an abortion after he realizes he hasn’t gotten his period following a gender reassignment procedure. The episode also reveals some brutal truths about abortion.
“Looks like I need an abortion,” Garrison tells the Planned Parenthood doctor, who responds in confusion, “An abortion?”
“Yeah I’ve got one growing inside me, now are you going to scramble its brains or just vacuum it out? If you want you can just scramble it, and I’ll q**** it out myself,” Garrison tells the doctor.
The doctor explains to Mr. Garrison that he’s “physically unable to have an abortion because you can’t get pregnant,” following up with, “You can’t have periods either, you had a sex change Mr. Garrison, but you don’t have ovaries or a womb, you don’t produce eggs.”
“You mean … I’ll never know what it feels like to have a baby growing inside me, and then scramble its brains and vacuum it out?” Mr. Garrison asks.
“That’s right,” the doctor replies.
Mr. Garrison says, “But I paid $5,000 to be a woman, this would mean I’m not really a woman, I’m just a guy with a mutilated penis.”
Like so many other characters on “South Park,” Garrison is complicated and often self-contradictory. He is portrayed as a gay man who eventually goes through the process of “becoming a woman,” then attempts to revert back to being a man. At various points in the show, he dates both men and women, plus exhibits signs of racism and homophobia.
In the same episode, Kyle gets surgery to become tall and black so he can play basketball and Kyle’s dad Gerald gets talked into surgery to become a dolphin. 
“There’s nothing crazy about a person wanting to look on the outside the way they feel on the inside,” the doctor says while trying to convince Gerald to get the procedure.
Casual fans of the show and people who never watched it before want to know if Garrison and the others are some thinly veiled conservative rant against the trans agenda from way back in 2005. There’s not a black-and-white answer to that. But the show is masterful at pointing out absurdities even decades before those ideas became mainstream.
One of the most popular aspects of the show is its ability to mock everyone, including both the Left and Right. Unsurprisingly, “South Park” creators insist that the show doesn’t take sides politically; they just hate everyone. But critics had been noticing the show’s tendency to mock liberals more than conservatives for years, which led to terms like “South Park conservative” and “South Park Republican.”
The animated sitcom was created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone and remains one of Comedy Central’s highest-rated programs ever. “South Park” follows four grade-school boys — Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick — as they grow up in a small Colorado town. 
It features copious amounts of profanity, dark humor, and frank satire. Parker and Stone say “Monty Python” was one of their main sources of inspiration for the show, which premiered back in 1997. Since it began, there have been 321 episodes (including television films) of “South Park” spanning 26 seasons.
Every time a modern show or movie mocks Christianity, critics inevitably bring up a glaring fact: they do it to Jesus, but they’d never show the same disrespect to the Muslim prophet Muhammad. But for “South Park,” that’s not technically true. The series was boycotted after making fun of Mormons, Scientologists, Catholics, and Jewish people over the years, but then they did the one thing that’s almost never done. They took a risk by targeting Muslims.
An image of Muhammad was shown in the episode &#8220;Super Best Friends&#8221; (2001). Then in 2010, Parker and Stone took on the topic again in the episode titled “201.” Before the episode aired, the NYPD increased security at the Comedy Central headquarters as a response to threats the network received. The network wound up censoring images of Muhammad with a black “censored” box, despite the creators disagreeing with the decision.
“That was one of my most disappointing moments as an American; the American press&#8217;s reaction to the Muhammad cartoons. It was completely wimpy,&#8221; Stone <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/matt-stone-trey-parker-ar_n_475744">told</a> The Huffington Post in April 2010.
&#8220;Cartoonists, people who do satire — we&#8217;re not in the army, we&#8217;re never going to be f***king drafted and this is our time to stand up and do the right thing. And to watch the New York Times, Comedy Central, everybody just go &#8216;No, we&#8217;re not going to do it because basically we&#8217;re afraid of getting bombed&#8217; sucked. I was so disappointed.&#8221;
Stone summed up his feelings succinctly in 2005, saying, &#8220;I hate conservatives, but I really f***ing hate liberals.&#8221; This type of sentiment led critics to dub the “South Park” creators as likely libertarians.
The duo also mentioned that making fun of liberals is fun because it’s more taboo and no one else does it. It’s like making fun of Muhammad, in that way. 
&#8220;Ripping on Republicans is not that fun for us only because everyone else does it,&#8221; Stone told The Huffington Post. &#8220;It&#8217;s so much more fun for us to rip on liberals only because nobody else does it, and not because we think liberals are worse than Republicans.”
They enjoy mocking celebrities most of all, which has the show in sharp focus all over again as the latest episode absolutely skewered Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
&#8220;There&#8217;s something uniquely aggravating about the smugness of liberal Hollywood,&#8221; Stone said in 2010. &#8220;You have to laugh at Alec Baldwin when he gets political. You have to. He is an amazing actor, he may even be a great guy, but that s*** is funny. Sean Penn getting on TV on CNN and talking about politics … that&#8217;s f***ing funny. And we&#8217;re going to make fun of you, Sean Penn.&#8221;
One of the latest “South Park” episodes features “the Prince of Canada and his wife,” who are meant to represent Harry and Meghan.
During the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/south-park-rips-harry-and-meghan-fake-privacy-tour-scores-new-fans-across-the-pond" target="_blank" rel="noopener">episode</a> “The Worldwide Privacy Tour,” the Canadian prince and his wife — who look similar to Harry and Markle — go on a worldwide “we want our privacy” tour following a book tour for his tell-all memoir “Waaaagh.” Meanwhile, the Princess of Canada is described as a “sorority girl, actress, influencer, victim.”
Rumors were floating around that the real Harry and Meghan might sue the show for hurting their feelings. However, a spokesperson for the Sussexes <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/feb/22/baseless-nonsense-meghan-and-harry-wont-sue-south-park-for-mocking-them" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> those reports were “all frankly nonsense,” as well as “totally baseless” and “boring.”

Meghan Markle is furious over how she and her husband, Prince Harry, were portrayed in a recent episode of &#8220;South Park&#8221; on Comedy Central, according to a new report.
The episode, titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour,” mocks both royal figures by showing thinly veiled stand-ins for the couple, &#8220;The Prince and Princess of Canada,&#8221; claim that they are seeking a life of privacy while they seemingly try to inject themselves into the public spotlight.
A source <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/02/21/meghan-markle-upset-and-overwhelmed-by-south-park-episode/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the Spectator that the Duchess of Sussex was “upset and overwhelmed” by the show&#8217;s mockery of the couple and that she “refuses to watch it all” because of how &#8220;annoyed&#8221; she is by the whole situation.

The New York Post reported that a royal commentator said that the couple could pursue legal action over the episode.
“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,&#8221; royal reporter Neil Sean <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/why-prince-harry-meghan-markle-will-not-sue-south-park-lawsuit-1782414" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Their legal team are casting an eye over the episode to see what is wrong, and what could be turned into something more sinister.&#8221;
&#8220;This appears to be their course of action rather than laughing it off, enjoying the moment and showing the world that they get the joke and understand this is how they may be perceived, and maybe, dare we say, change … dare we?&#8221; he continued. &#8220;The makers of &#8216;South Park&#8217; have, as yet, received nothing but I am told they are aware of this and have nothing to fear, simply because they have the legals all over this and know they could not have broadcast it without the watertight details flattened out.&#8221;
However, a spokesperson for the couple said that claims that the couple was pursuing legal action were &#8220;baseless and boring.&#8221;

Prince Harry &amp; Meghan Markle Reportedly Looking At Legal Action Against “South Park”
Legal representation for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are reportedly “casting an eye” over the animated sitcom “South Park” after the show parodied the royal couple in an episode last week, depicting a similar pair going on a worldwide privacy tour. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were not directly named in the episode, but referred to as “Canadian royalty” and the “Prince and his wife.”
UPDATE:  Tuesday evening, a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex denied that the couple is looking into legal action against South Park and <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/02/21/prince-harry-meghan-markle-deny-suing-over-south-park-portrayal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued</a> a statement saying that &#8220;it’s all frankly nonsense. Totally baseless, boring reports.&#8221; 
Asbury Revival Ends
Asbury College announced that it will move to end the historic religious “revival” that has been going on for 13 days after more than 50,000 Christians descended on the small Kentucky town since the service began. Asbury University President Kevin Brown said in a statement that Wilmore, Kentucky, simply doesn’t have the infrastructure suited for the thousands of outsiders, but added that he hoped visitors would continue similar revivals in their own towns.

&#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/south-park" target="_blank" rel="noopener">South Park</a>&#8221; has just picked up another nation full of fans with its brutal takedown of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and their apparent thirst for attention even while demanding &#8220;priva-sah.&#8221;
The latest &#8220;South Park&#8221; episode is titled, &#8220;The World-Wide Privacy Tour&#8221; and features &#8220;the Prince of Canada and his wife,” who were clearly modeled after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
During the episode, the Canadian prince and his wife — who look similar to Harry and Markle — go on a worldwide &#8220;we want our privacy&#8221; tour following a book tour for his tell-all memoir &#8220;Waaaagh,&#8221; The <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11756953/South-Park-aims-Meghan-Harry-cartoon-Canadian-prince-princess-yell-want-privacy.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a> reported. The cover of the memoir looks similar to that of Harry&#8217;s real-life memoir &#8220;Spare.&#8221; The Markle look-alike then decides the only escape is to move to the small mountain town of South Park, which upsets residents.
The many thinly-veiled swipes at the Sussexes and their constant attacks on the monarchy seems to have earned the animated show new fans in the United Kingdom, with the latest episode being one of the top trending items across the pond.
One person tweeted that the show &#8220;makes fun of Harry and Meghan. As usual, they get it, spot on.&#8221;
&#8220;Amazing right?&#8221; another added. &#8220;Here&#8217;s the one South Park got Spot. On!!  And&#8230; Look, it&#8217;s trending in the UK too.&#8221;

Another praised the creators/writers of the show, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, &#8220;Yo [SouthPark] has the best writers in the game by far!&#8221;
While another shared, &#8220;Big thanks to South Park creating this for us. We deserve a big laugh after all the things they&#8217;ve done. This is the best thing [to] ever happen since the Oprah [interview].&#8221;
