Kate Middleton referenced in new South Park dig at Meghan Markle

Kate, the Princess of Wales is referenced in the new South Park series that takes several digs at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

TV comedy series South Park has taken multiple shots at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry mocking their claims they want privacy despite signing lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify to publish content about their lives.

The series branded the couple "dumb" and "stupid" whilst also referring to Prince Harry's autobiography Spare as "Waaagh".

In one of the episodes of the South Park series, there is a segment that shows the character that depicts Meghan Markle, across magazine covers resembling real-life ones that have featured the Duchess of Sussex.

Sources in California had said that Meghan had become "upset and overwhelmed" by the ridicule she and Harry were facing from the series.

One of the covers shows Meghan's character on Vogue wearing a green, wide-brimmed hat, a white shirt and a brown hunting jacket.

This cover is not a reference to one of Meghan’s but instead a Vogue front page featuring Kate, wearing the same outfit.

This looks to be a dig at Meghan Markle wanting to copy the Princess of Wales.

One South Park fan wrote on Twitter: "LMAO even in South Park Meghan copies Catherine."

Earlier this week, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry released a statement addressing claims they would take legal action against the TV comedy series South Park.

Sources in California had said that Meghan had become "upset and overwhelmed" by the ridicule she and Harry were facing from the series.

However, a spokesperson for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry told PEOPLE: "It's all frankly nonsense. Totally baseless, boring reports."

The couple's definitive statement comes as sources told the Spectator that the Duchess of Sussex “is annoyed by South Park but refuses to watch it all” and that Meghan has spent the last few days “upset and overwhelmed” about how she was portrayed in the series.

The Sussex statement follows a claim from a royal commentator that the Sussexes' lawyers were "casting an eye" over South Park's latest series after the show launched a number of attacks on the couple.

Neil Sean stated that the legal team was watching the series closely for any more attacks.

Sean said: "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.

"Their legal team are casting an eye over the episode to see what is wrong, and what could be turned into something more sinister."

However, Fox News stated it had not yet been confirmed whether legal action would be taken or not.
