South Park should get its animation team ready because Meghan Markle’s latest Netflix misadventure is practically begging for a satirical roasting.
"With Love, Meghan" has arrived, and if her disastrous attempt at podcasting wasn’t enough, just wait until you see her try to reinvent herself as the next culinary queen of Montecito. Royal fans who are still enjoying the aftermath of South Park’s 2023 "Worldwide Privacy Tour" episode have one pressing question: when will they take on this latest spectacle? If Meghan’s attempt to convince the world she’s a domestic goddess isn’t prime comedy material, then what is?
Imagine an eight-episode Netflix series, filmed in a lavish £5 million rented mansion, where Meghan offers so-called life-changing wisdom on making homemade jam and assembling party bags. Critics haven’t held back, shredding the show as "gormless," "pointless," and so dull that watching paint dry would be more thrilling. It’s no surprise that viewers are already drawing comparisons to South Park because, in many ways, this show practically spoofs itself. Watching Meghan play house in a sprawling estate while dishing out mundane tips with the energy of someone who’s just discovered basic homemaking skills feels like the perfect setup for a Trey Parker and Matt Stone masterpiece.
South Park’s first takedown of the Sussexes wasn’t just hilarious—it was legendary. Their portrayal of Meghan as a sorority-girl-turned-actress-turned-influencer-turned-professional-victim was so spot-on that even her most devoted fans must have cringed. The result? A noticeable dip in the couple’s popularity in the U.S., with their approval ratings nosediving yet again. Now, with Meghan’s cooking show flopping harder than an umbrella in a hurricane, the internet is abuzz with demands for a sequel. "South Park, we need you now!" one social media user pleaded, while another suggested calling it "Worldwide Disaster Tour" and letting the satire flow.
Given how much of a mess the Netflix show is, the jokes practically write themselves. Picture a South Park version: Meghan standing in a ridiculously oversized kitchen, dramatically stirring a pot of overpriced organic berries while delivering deep, life-altering insights like, "Jam is a metaphor for self-care." Meanwhile, a confused Prince Harry stumbles in, clutching a polo mallet and hesitantly asking if he’s allowed to speak yet. The whole charade ends with their personal chef stepping in to actually do the cooking—because let’s be honest, Meghan isn’t really making any of this herself.
And then there’s the sheer irony of it all. Meghan Markle, once the self-proclaimed queen of privacy, is now inviting cameras into her home for a show nobody asked for. The same woman who fled royal life to escape media intrusion is now willingly serving up content in a desperate bid to stay relevant. If that’s not peak South Park material, what is?
The big question remains: will Trey Parker and Matt Stone answer the call? Will they gift the world with another savage takedown of a couple who continuously seem to parody themselves? Only time will tell. But with Meghan’s brand circling the drain and her latest project tanking faster than a lead balloon, one thing is certain—the jokes aren’t stopping anytime soon.
