Family Guy Pokes Fun At Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Once Again
Family Guy, an American sitcom known for its edgy humour, targeted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle once again in the July 17 episode, named Twain's World. In the episode, Brian and Stewie travel back in time, with the talking dog comparing the couple's marriage to infamous events like the Crusades and Hitler.

Brian responded, using the Hitler and the Crusades example. Stewie quipped, "Prince Harry marrying Meghan Markle". The show depicted a butler handing Harry a check for "millions from Netflix for... no one knows what," with Harry responding, "Put it with the rest of them." The episode also made fun of their social media influence as Meghan's character showed receiving a notification, saying, "Babe, time to do our daily $250,000 sponsored Instagram post for Del Taco." It also portrayed Harry's regret as the animated prince said, "I shouldn't have left the made-up nonsense." It implies that he misses his royal life. This is the second time Family Guy has targeted the couple, with the first being in 2023. South Park, an American animated television series, also mocked them in a 2023 episode, The Worldwide Privacy Tour. Source-based reports mentioned Meghan was "upset and overwhelmed" by the previous episode and "annoyed by South Park but refuses to watch it all." Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield told GB News that the constant ridicule might be taking a toll on the couple's public image, saying they're "continuously a Hollywood punchline" that's "devastating to them". "I would say that this is a definite blow for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle," Kinsey noted. "When they stepped down as working royals, they said they were going to live a life of service. And now Meghan is shilling loose fruit spread, and Prince Harry is doing polo docs that didn't even hit the top 3,000 on Netflix last year."

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle mocked for second time in ‘Family Guy' episode
In its latest episode, the long-running animated comedy 'Family Guy' has once again set its satirical sights on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, sparking renewed conversation about the show's irreverent take on modern royalty. The July 17 episode titled 'Twain's World' features a time-travel storyline in which fan-favorite characters Brian and Stewie revisit the past. During a conversation about how actions in the past could alter history, Brian, voiced by series creator Seth MacFarlane, dismisses the concern, saying, 'Doesn't history pretty much suck?' What follows is a darkly comedic gag using the "rule of threes" common in humor writing: Brian lists off Adolf Hitler and the Crusades as examples, to which Stewie sarcastically adds, 'Prince Harry marrying Meghan Markle.' The line immediately cuts to a signature Family Guy cutaway gag, showing a cartoon Prince Harry watching the episode itself. 'Again?' the animated royal complains, breaking the fourth wall. With hands on his hips, he turns toward the camera and fires back, 'Oh, like all of your wives are so much better?' This marks the second time 'Family Guy' has taken aim at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The first jab aired in 2023, when the show mocked their multi-million dollar deals and social media presence. In that earlier episode, Peter Griffin jokes about going it alone 'just like Meghan Markle and Prince Harry,' before the show cuts to a scene of the couple lounging by a pool as a butler hands Harry an envelope 'from Netflix for … no one knows what.' Meghan chimes in about posting a sponsored Instagram ad, and Harry sighs, 'I shouldn't have left the made-up nonsense.' Known for its sharp-edged pop culture critiques, 'Family Guy' has long trafficked in controversial humor. But its repeated targeting of Harry and Meghan raises questions about how satire intersects with public scrutiny of real-life figures. While the Sussexes have not officially responded to the latest episode, the show's portrayals continue to reflect a broader public skepticism about the couple's post-royal ventures and media presence. Family Guy has been on air since 1999 and remains a staple of adult animated television, regularly skewering celebrities, politicians, and cultural trends alike — royalty included.

Did Family Guy just compare Harry and Meghan to Hitler and the Crusades?
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have once again found themselves at the center of a brutal animated roast, this time from Family Guy, whose latest jab likened their relationship to some of history's darkest moments. In a new episode, the show's iconic duo Stewie and Brian travel back in time to meet author Mark Twain. The conversation takes a sharp turn when Brian declares that 'history pretty much sucks,' listing Hitler, the Crusades… and Prince Harry's marriage to Meghan. The scene then cuts to Harry himself, watching the joke unfold on TV. With his trademark exasperated sigh, he groans, 'Again?' before throwing shade at the audience: 'Oh like all your wives are so much better?' It's not the first time the Sussexes have been targeted by the satirical series. In 2023, the show mocked them as Netflix-funded freeloaders. That portrayal painted them as clout-chasing royals cashing big checks for doing little. This latest episode seems to up the ante, doubling down on the show's long-running ridicule. The timing is awkward. Meghan has reportedly felt 'overwhelmed' by the string of jabs, while royal insiders whisper that lawyers may be quietly eyeing these portrayals. The internet hasn't gone easy either, social media threads are ablaze, split between laughter and outrage. Online fallout has been swift. The phrase 'Hitler, Crusades, Markle' trended on X, and parody clips flooded TikTok. Royal watchers note this marks yet another cultural cold moment for the couple, public figures stripped of narrative control in real time. Despite the relentless mockery, the couple remains silent. But in the court of public opinion, the takedown is gaining traction, and Meghan and Harry may not be able to laugh it off this time.
