Family Guy has a dig at Harry and Meghan

Couple mocked for doing 'no one knows what’

comedyFamily Guy has taken a swipe at Harry and Meghan – just months after the couple were eviscerated by South Park.

In  the latest episode of Seth McFarlane's animated satire, Peter Griffin compares himself to the royal couple, leading to a cutaway scene of the pair getting paid millions for doing nothing.

The lead character is sitting in Quahog bar, The Drunken Clam, musing with his drinking buddies on how to get back money he’s owed, when he concludes he'll 'go it alone – just like Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’.

The scene then cuts away to the royal couple lounging by the pool while a butler arrives to them inform them that their ‘millions from Netflix for no one knows what’ has arrived.

Harry nonchalantly replies: 'Put it with the rest of them.’

Then Meghan's phone buzzes with a notification, and she tells Harry: 'Babe, time to do our daily $250,000 sponsored Instagram post for Del Taco.'

A despondent Harry then laments that: 'I shouldn't have left the made-up nonsense’, apparently regretting his decision to stand back from the Royal Family.

The fast food chain Meghan mentioned have also got in on the joke, tweeting last night: ‘Harry & Meghan we are still waiting for your post to go up today plz’

In February, South Park took aim at the Sussexes in an episode entitled The Worldwide Privacy Tour. 

In it, a thinly-disguised parody of the couple fly their private jet around the world in a high-profile publicity blitz hypocritically pleading for privacy Meanwhile the Prince promotes his book, which Matt Stone and Trey Parker’ retitled Waaagh.
