Piers Morgan Praises ‘South Park’ Episode That Calls Meghan Markle an “Instagram-Loving Bitch Wife” as “Lethally Brilliant”

It looks like Piers Morgan is still watching South Park. After last night’s evisceration of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the controversial broadcaster and journalist took to Twitter to express his approval of the episode.

In the clip Morgan shared, Prince Harry and Meghan — the Canadian prince and princess in the show — are being interviewed for Good Morning Canada. Instantly, it’s ridiculous. Harry and Meghan walk out waving signs and chanting “We want privacy.” The joke only gets more obvious from there. The host, who points out that Prince Harry has had “everything handed to you,” unveils the former royal’s new book is titled WAAGH before calling Harry a royals journalist and Meghan his “Instagram-loving bitch wife.” The two then storm off and start their own world tour demanding that people stop paying attention to them before settling in — you guessed it — South Park.

Morgan called the episode “lethally brilliant” and added “suspect this is how most Americans now feel about them.”

Later in the episode, Prince Harry decides to give up this bizarre battle and just be himself. When he asks Meghan to join him, he opens up her mouth to discover there’s nothing inside.

It’s not entirely surprising that Morgan would connect with an episode that basically calls Markle a shallow bitch. Morgan used to be an outspoken fan of Markle and called himself a “superfan” of Markle’s show, Suits. The two even met in person on at least one occasion, which Morgan can’t stop talking about. But after Markle’s relationship with Prince Harry became public, his attitude toward her slowly started to sour. He jokingly (maybe?) blamed Prince Harry for destroying his friendship with Markle and only became more hostile after he wasn’t invited to their wedding. Now Morgan stands as one of Markle’s loudest detractors.

Calling Markle an “Instagram-loving bitch wife” and giving the character a Valley girl-esque voice is undoubtably and irredeemably sexist. Bad move, Matt and Trey. It’s frustrating because the central critique of the episode stands.

Throughout “The Worldwide Privacy Tour,” Harry and Meghan repeatedly storm into public places and demand that people respect their privacy. These protests happen everywhere from televised NBA games to a fireworks-filled protest right outside of Kyle’s house. At the height of the joke, Harry and Meghan become infuriated when Kyle does what they presumably want and ignores them. That’s when Harry rubs his blue penis on Kyle’s window as he demands that Kyle stop paying attention to him. By the way, that’s a clear reference to the real Prince Harry’s frostbitten “todger,” an incident that he wrote about in his book Spare and that was ruthlessly mocked.

Doesn’t that make you feel uncomfortable? Like you know far too much about this man who keeps claiming he wants to live a normal life and be left alone by the public and press? Yeah, that’s the point South Park nailed, not the sexist stuff. It never feels great to agree with Piers Morgan, but here we are. That was a solid joke, South Park.
