Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and her spouse, Prince Harry, recently found themselves the subjects of playful ridicule on the popular animated television series 'Family Guy.' The former 'Suits' actress, aged 42, and the 39-year-old royal, proud parents to four-year-old Archie and two-year-old Lilibet, became the comedic targets in the show, mainly for their lucrative association with Netflix, a deal shrouded in mystery.
In the episode aired on October 22, 2023, the show's iconic character, Peter Griffin, humorously draws a parallel between himself and the Sussexes, who have inked an astonishing £81 million contract with the streaming giant. Peter humorously declares his intention to embark on a solo journey, much like Meghan and Harry, who famously departed the United Kingdom for the United States in 2020.
The scene then transitions to an animated portrayal of the couple, leisurely lounging by a California pool while a butler presents Harry with a bundle of money and jests, "Sir, your millions from Netflix for… no-one knows what." To this, Harry's animated counterpart responds with nonchalance, saying, "Put it with the rest of them."
Meghan's phone chimes, and she informs Harry, "Babe, time to do our daily $250,000 sponsored Instagram post for Del Taco." Harry playfully responds, "I shouldn't have left the made-up nonsense."
While Meghan and Harry's debut six-part Netflix series, 'Harry and Meghan,' made waves upon its 2022 release, topping the Netflix charts, Harry's initial solo Netflix venture, 'Heart of Invictus,' failed to secure a place in the platform's top ten on its release day. The couple has also been the subject of humorous portrayal on 'South Park' in February, where they were depicted as relocating to a fictional town in their quest for privacy. In this parody, Harry authored a book titled 'Waaagh,' and the couple embarked on a whimsical global "privacy tour" to emphasize their desire to evade the spotlight.
