Sunrise host’s BRUTAL jab at Meghan and Harry claims their lawyers “plan to sue the creators of South Park” over a scathing episode that portrayed them as annoying attention-seekers: “Could they be so stupid?”
Sunrise hosts Natalie Barr and David Koch have been baffled by reports that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are “considering their legal options” after they were lampooned in South Park last week.
The episode, titled ‘The Worldwide Privacy Tour’, pokes fun at the royal couple’s privacy demands during a publicity campaign for the prince’s autobiography ‘Waaaah’, a dig into Harry’s recent memoir Spare.
Speaking to The Daily Mirror’s royal editor, Russell Myers, on Tuesday, Barr and Koch expressed their disbelief that Harry and Meghan could “take themselves so seriously.”
‘Is this really true, that their lawyers are thinking of taking action? They couldn’t be that stupid. Oh for the love of God!’ Koch scoffed.
Barr found the whole situation absurd, saying it would be “such a fun lawsuit if it went ahead.”
Koch, whose distaste for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex is well documented, said suing over a satirical portrayal would be disastrous for his public image.
Everyone will turn. If you haven’t attacked them, you will now, because you just think, “What a bunch of jerks who can’t laugh at themselves,” he said.
Myers agreed, saying that the British public was already “exasperated” by Harry and Meghan’s sensitivity to criticism, and that Americans would surely react angrily if they challenged the South Park creators’ free speech.

‘Exactly. You can’t take yourself too seriously and you can’t tear your family apart publicly,” Barr said, referring to Harry and Meghan’s numerous public attacks on the royal family.
The controversial episode, which premiered in the US on February 15, shows the ‘Prince and Princess of Canada’ – a young royal couple loudly begging for privacy while drawing attention to themselves.
The red-haired prince and his wife, who is wearing the exact same dusty pink outfit Meghan wore to Trooping the Color in 2018, are seen promoting the prince’s book, Waaagh, whose cover closely resembles Harry’s memoir Spare.

Royal commentator Neil Sean told Fox News that representatives for the thin-skinned couple are watching the series closely for any further attacks.

He said: “According to sources close to the former royals, it appears that, like so many things with Meghan and Harry, this may have legal ramifications attached to it.”
Meghan was apparently left ‘upset and overwhelmed’ by the way she was portrayed on the show, a source said The viewer.
The source said the Duchess “is upset about South Park but refuses to see it all.”
