Megyn Kelly says Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just aren’t recovering from a recent South Park episode that mocked the exiled royals.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s decision to cross the pond in a desperate bid for privacy has been mercilessly ridiculed in the series’ latest episode, titled The Worldwide Privacy Tour.
“I think that’s a statement that they jumped the shark, they’re not loved and their hopes of running for president are all pretty much dashed,” Kelly, 52, said in the statement released Friday. The Megyn Kelly Show”.
“That does not happen. When ‘South Park’ turns you on, there’s no turning back.”
Referring to widespread speculation that the Duchess of Sussex is aiming for a career in politics, Kelly added fuel to the fire of unconfirmed reports that she has been targeting the White House.
While the Sussexes have yet to publicly respond to the animated episode, it apparently proved to be a popular hit with viewers.
The episode, which begins with a disclaimer stating that all characters — even if based on real people — are fictional, revolves around a couple who move to a fictional town for privacy reasons.
And while the episode doesn’t explicitly name the couple, viewers noticed that the couple looks just like the royals and even wears the same outfits as them.
Elsewhere in the episode, the pair promote the prince’s new book called Waaagh – which bears an uncanny resemblance to Prince Harry’s recently released memoir, Spare.
“We just want to be normal people — all this attention is so tough,” the prince says in the episode, after admitting he “hates” journalists.

The pair later board a high-visibility private jet and embark on their “Worldwide Privacy Tour.”
As for Markle’s alleged political bid, long-unconfirmed reports have circulated suggesting the mother-of-two has forged ties with top Democrats. Despite endless whispers, there’s no hard evidence that she’s interested in running for elected office.
In March 2021, investigative journalist Tom Bower, who is writing an upcoming unauthorized biography of Markle, said he believed it was “likely” that the former “Suits” star would try his hand at politics.
“The prospect of Meghan running for president is possible and I would even say likely,” Bower told Closer magazine, DailyMail.com reported at the time. “I really think that’s where she sees herself.”
Ahead of the 2020 election between President Donald Trump and Vice President Joe Biden, Conservatives accused Prince Harry and Markle of meddling by encouraging Americans To to vote.

The famous couple also warned Americans against spreading misinformation and condemned hate speech in a video for Time 100.
In response to those comments, Trump said he was “not a fan” of Markle and quipped that he “wish Harry the best of luck because he’s going to need it.”
