After a recent episode of Fox’s Family Guy took aim at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s new lifestyle in California, the Duchess is reportedly feeling “humiliated” and that the self-entitled depiction is “totally unfair”.
The clip sees star character Peter Griffin declaring he’s heading out on his mission “alone just like Meghan Markle and Prince Harry” as the scenery switches to the Sussexes lounging by a lavish pool.
Satirically mocking their “go it alone” attitude, a butler then appears on screen with a stack of envelopes that he reveals is the couple’s “millions from Netflix for no one knows what”.
Meghan’s character jumps in saying it’s time to make their six-figure sponsored Instagram post as Harry sighs declaring: “I shouldn’t have left the made-up nonsense,” as the show seemingly hit out at the monarchy too.
Sources close to the couple told The Mirror that the couple feels like they’re not being taken seriously and even described the episode as an “outrageous slur”.

They claimed this latest “attack from inside Hollywood” has made it clear to Meghan and Harry that public favour has turned against them in the country they’re now calling home with the mother-of-two “desperate” to fix their reputation as she attempts her Hollywood comeback.
The source added: “They’re in full panic mode.”
The situation has become so dire for the Sussexes that Meghan is reportedly asking her husband to forgive the Royal Family they both brutally cut ties with in 2020.
The latest jab against the couple in pop culture comes after South Park shared their own satirical look on the pair in an episode that aired in February.
South Park’s rendition saw the fictional Prince of Canada and his wife, who bore a remarkable resemblance to Prince Harry and Meghan, embark on a “worldwide privacy tour”.
The turning tide of public favor also comes as Meghan’s estranged half-sister, Samantha Markle, appeared in a Florida court yesterday attempting to secure a defamation trial against the Duchess.
The 58-year-old claims her younger sister defamed her in the now notorious 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey as well as the Sussexes’ Netflix docuseries that was released in December.
