Meghan Markle's half-sister Samantha has slammed her and husband Prince Harry's 'reaction' to their brutal dragging in the latest episode of South Park.
The former working Royals were seemingly mirrored in the show's latest offering titled The Worldwide Privacy Tour – following a fictional "prince and his wife".
Harry and Meghan aren't named throughout the animated comedy, but some elements do bear resemblance to their life – including a tell-all memoir, this time called 'Waaagh'.
But now Meghan's step sibling has spoken out about the explosive episode, claiming that the Duke and Duchess don't like anything posing a close "likeness" to them.
Samantha slammed her half-sister Meghan Markle (GB News)"It's a cartoon," she blasted while appearing on GB News. She told presenter Dan Wootton that the couple "can't claim copyright on likenesses".

Her reaction was seemingly based on claims that the couple were seeking legal action over the Comedy Central show – something their team has since called "baseless and boring".
"Excuse me, I never got the memo that God died and they become God," Samantha sensationally claimed during her interview. "Suddenly [they] got a copyright on all things comedy."
She then referred to the fictional couple in the South Park show, highlighting their similar appearance to that of Prince Harry and Meghan.

The half-family members are currently involved in a spat after Samantha claimed Meghan made alleged "false" statements about her estranged half-sister on TV.
Samantha is suing the former actress over claims that she made "demonstrably false and malicious statements" about her during her interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
It comes amid claims from a leading PR expert that Harry and Meghan 'should have remained silent' after seemingly being branded "dumb and stupid" on South Park.

Speaking ahead of Harry and Meghan's statement, Andy Barr told The Mirror: "Dare I suggest that they should take a leaf out of the Royal Family's PR book and remain silent.
"The Firm's comms machine has stuck to their silent guns during the Harry and Meghan attacks and it looks very much like they are weathering the storm perfectly."
