Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been brutally roasted in the latest episode of South Park - and we want to know what you think.

The episode, titled ‘The Worldwide Privacy Tour’ depicts a young royal couple, the Prince and Princess of Canada, who simultaneously request privacy and draw attention to themselves.

Viewers watched as the show took dozens of merciless swipes at the royal outcasts, at one stage the prince is seen getting out his blue penis in a reference to Harry revealing he got frostbite down below during a North Pole trek.

The plot follows the princess and the red-headed prince as he promotes his book, named Waaagh, which strongly resembles Harry’s bombshell memoir Spare.

In one scene, the couple appears on “Good Morning Canada”, where the prince is shown holding up a sign saying, “We want privacy,” while the princess’s read “Stop looking at us”.

The couple are also shown hopping aboard their private jet to begin a global ‘privacy’ tour, visiting everywhere from India and France to Australia while chanting about their request to be left alone.

Other jabs include quips about the fictional couple ‘bashing the Canadian monarchy’, the prince playing polo on the lawn, and even branding the pair 'dumb and stupid'.

The episode began with a disclaimer saying all characters - even if they're based on real people - are indeed fictional.

Fans quickly took to social media to share their reaction to the cartoon, with many hailing the animation.

One Twitter user wrote: "The #southpark episode of Harry and Meghan is pure effing gold," as another added: "New #SouthPark is awesome so far!!! They are definitely ripping on Harry and Meghan.”

Meanwhile, others have accused the animation of bullying the royal pair, as one person penned: “It seems Southpark has decided to join in on the bullying of meghan and harry their latest episode is mocking them and the derangers are celebrating.”
