In a recent episode of the Big Fat Quiz 2023, comedian Jimmy Carr seized the opportunity to poke fun at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, eliciting laughter from the audience.
Carr took a swipe at the media's handling of Harry, expressing disgust at the manipulation, gaslighting, and control he perceives. The lack of disapproval from both the panel and the crowd reflects a broader sentiment of exasperation with the ongoing drama surrounding the royal couple.
The comedic banter continued with actor Charles Dance reading a humorous excerpt about Harry's "Frozen todger," adding an amusing twist to the public ridicule the Harles seem to be facing. This latest incident adds to a series of jests directed at Meghan, with Jimmy Carr having previously mocked her during an episode of The Last Leg. Carr playfully critiqued Meghan's feminist stance, jokingly highlighting the irony of her marrying a prince and giving up her job.
Despite initial praise for the couple, Carr cheekily suggested that if they desire privacy, they should avoid doing documentaries for Netflix, proposing BritBox as a more discreet alternative. The comedian's wit sparked a much louder reaction from the studio audience.
While Meghan has been vocal about her dislike for negative media attention, comedian Rob Scobey argued that Prince Harry can handle comedic commentary. Scobey, discussing Harry's reactions to public scrutiny, highlighted that the royal appeared unfazed by comedic takes on his memoir, "SP," which included a controversial anecdote about frostbite on his genitals.
Scobey explained that Harry, understanding the dynamics of being a public figure, likely expected such commentary and had confidence in the content presented in his memoir. Despite the potential for controversial narratives, Scobey suggested that Harry had been read so many times by editors and people around him that he was confident in his storytelling approach.
However, conservative commentator Meghan Kelly expressed a different perspective, predicting that South Park's episode about the Sussexes would significantly impact their reputation. Kelly declared that the couple had "jumped the shark" and cast doubt on Meghan's rumored political aspirations, suggesting that South Park's portrayal signaled a point of no return for public favorability.
As the comedic jabs continue and the Harles navigate the intricate landscape of public opinion, the dynamics of their Hollywood journey and potential political aspirations remain subjects of both amusement and scrutiny.
