Harry and Meghan brutally skewered by Family Guy again
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been mocked by Family Guy as their marriage is compared to 'Hitler and the Crusades'. The newest series of the satirical cartoon takes a swipe at the pair in an episode where two beloved characters go back in time, reports The Sun. FOX aired the clip this week, which brutally mocks the royals by listing them with two of history's darkest moments. The dig comes during a time-travelling skit where characters Stewie and Brian meet American author Mark Twain. Brian says: 'Doesn't history pretty much suck? The Crusades, Hitler …' Stewie then chimes in: 'Prince Harry marrying Meghan Markle?' The episode then cuts to a cartoon version of the Duke of Sussex sitting on a sofa watching the show. He complains: 'Oh, again?' The character then turns to the audience and remarks: 'Oh like all your wives are so much better?' It's the latest pop culture roasting for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who've been regularly skewered by US cartoons since quitting royal life in 2020. After making the move across the pond for privacy, the couple splashed out on their Montecito mansion – which was also a point of ridicule for the pair. In 2023, Family Guy poked fun at their Netflix deal, showing the royals lounging by a pool next to their mansion. A butler handed them a cheque for 'millions … for no-one knows what'. Cartoon Harry sips from a champagne flute before muttering: 'Put it with the rest of them.' Then Meghan gets a ping on her phone and says: 'Babe, time to do our $250,000 sponsored Instagram post for Del Taco.' In an apparent reference to Harry's criticism of the royal family, he responds: 'I shouldn't have left the made-up nonsense.' Family Guy isn't the only comedy show that has taken a swipe at the couple. The royals were also torn to shreds by South Park, which aired an episode called 'The Worldwide Privacy Tour'. The cheeky episode began with a disclaimer saying all characters – even if they're based on real people – are fictional. But fans were quick to point out the Prince's red hair and his wife's floppy hat drew similarities to the Duke and Duchess. The episode mocked their constant calls for privacy while accusing them of endlessly chasing the spotlight. Fans were left in hysterics over the episode in February 2023, where the couple were seen holding huge signs begging to be left alone. The couple hang banners above their house demanding privacy – and hold loud 'privacy parties' in their front garden. Cartoon Meghan is shown in the same pink outfit she wore to Trooping the Colour. The pair also appear as guests on a talk show to talk about the Prince's book, named Waaagh, which gives a striking resemblance to Prince Harry's bombshell memoir, Spare. After the show aired it was reported that the couple were considering legal action. However their spokesperson has lashed out at the claims, and told Newsweek: 'This is baseless and boring.' Sources in California previously claimed Meghan 'was annoyed by South Park but refuses to watch it all'. After it aired, viewers joked that the representation was spot on. One said: 'South Park has seriously nailed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.' Another added: 'They are definitely ripping on Harry and Meghan.'

Meghan May Have Just Confirmed Reports Harry & Charles Are Secretly Talking Again as Sources Claim the King Is ‘Reevaluating His Life' After His Cancer Was Found ‘Incurable'
Meghan Markle might have sent her well wishes to Queen Camilla from Montecito. The Duchess of Sussex posted a cryptic post about birthdays on her social media accounts, prompting royal fans to see if the royal family is one step closer to reconciliation. On July 17, 2025, Meghan Markle posted a video of a wooden basket containing three bottles of her As Ever rosé on her Instagram story. She wrote in the caption, 'Sending birthday love (both near and far) to my ladies.' The post raised questions after the date of it coincided with Queen Camilla's 78th birthday. The Queen consort celebrated with a new portrait to mark the special day. More from StyleCaster Kate's Ex-Employee Might've Leaked How She Really Feels About Meghan Amid Report She Saw Harry as a 'Stepping Stone' to 'Fame & Fortune' Charles Confirms Camilla's Place as a Royal After Reports William Plans to 'Overhaul' the Family Once His Dad Dies The questionable post comes a week after King Charles and Prince Harry's senior aides held a secret meeting, according to The Mail on Sunday. This would mark the 'first step towards reconciliation between Harry and his father, but at least it is a step in the right direction.'The talks were held in London. 'There's a long road ahead, but a channel of communication is now open for the first time in years,' said a source. 'There was no formal agenda, just casual drinks. There were things both sides wanted to talk about.' Related: Princess Anne Is Making King Charles Face the 'Devastating Reality' of His 'Incurable' Cancer Harry was represented by Meredith Maines, his chief communications officer and head of his household in Montecito. The King's communications secretary, Tobyn Andreae, the King's communications secretary and Liam Maguire, who runs the Sussexes' PR team in the UK were also present. The events also line up with the fact that Prince Harry said in a BBC interview in May that he wanted reconciliation. 'There's no point in continuing to fight anymore,' he said. 'Life is precious. Forgiveness is 100 percent a possibility because I would like to get my father and brother back.' Hope is not at all lost when reports came out King Charles and Prince Harry might actually be able to fix their relationship in a couple years time. Prince Harry is reportedly inviting his family to the next Invictus Games, which are set to be held in the UK in 2027 and reports that the King had factored not only Prince Harry but Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, into the heart of his funeral plans. The update to reconciliation will be a good outlook for the future of the royal family. 'From a positive private family stance, some personal healing between father and son would be good,' British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital. 'King Charles will always love his son, and, in light of the king's ongoing cancer treatment, it could help tidy up the messy, fractured relationship.' Chard said this was especially true considering the circumstances. 'King Charles is living with cancer, which makes his family situation very sad,' Chard pointed out. 'I'm sure he is thinking about his mortality and reevaluating his life. He would not want a family feud tarnishing his positive contributions and memory. I'm sure he will also want to clear up unresolved issues or surprises that could lead to further resentment and conflict between his two sons.' However, things might not slide with Prince William's camp. The Daily Beast reported that according to a friend of William, 'He absolutely f***ing hates' his brother Harry. That same source also told the outlet that. 'William will never, ever forgive Harry for what he has done. Charles is the king; he can do what he likes. But make no mistake: William believes with every fiber of his being that giving Harry and Meghan back any royal imprimatur is a huge mistake.' Royal insider Camilla Tominey previously reported that King Charles' cancer is incurable after he allegedly refused treatment. 'The talk now is that he may die 'with' cancer, but not 'of' cancer following a rigorous treatment program,' she revealed in The Telegraph. She also confirmed that King Charles' 80th anniversary plans in 2028 are 'tentative' due to his ailing health. However, a royal aide said King Charles's health is on the up. He is dealing 'incredibly well' with cancer, the anonymous insider told The Telegraph. 'The thing you learn about this illness is that you just manage it and that's what he does. Medical science has made incredible advances and I genuinely see no difference in him. As long as you just do what the doctors say, just live your life as normal as possible… that's exactly what he is doing.'

Oprah reveals Harry's panicked call: ‘Problem'
IN LONDON Oprah Winfrey has lifted the lid on the panicked call she recently received from Prince Harry while he was grappling with an unusual 'problem'. Speaking on Kelly Ripa's Let's Talk Off Camera podcast, the TV queen was asked about potentially being gifted baby chickens, to which she joked that she'd immediately take them over to her neighbours, 'the Sussexes''. In a cheeky nod to Meghan's pointed correction of Mindy Kaling, who called her 'Meghan Markle' on her Netflix series and was told it was actually 'Meghan Sussex now', Winfrey deliberately mispronounced the surname, adding extra 'xessesses" at the end. The 71-year-old went on to explain how she'd recently received an emergency call from the Duke of Sussex, whose home with Meghan and their two kids, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, is just around the corner from her own in Montecito. 'I get a call from Harry, Prince Harry, on Easter Saturday, and he says, 'Sorry to bother you, O, but we have a duck problem here',' she said, imitating the prince's British accent. 'A duck had come into their yard and laid their eggs and had these chicks. 'And he said, 'Our pond is a stream, we don't have a pond, so can we bring the ducks over to your pond?'' Winfrey recalled that she'd asked him to 'wait' until her best friend Gayle King's grandchildren arrived, as they were due to visit a short time later. 'I said, 'Wait until I can get the kids to come down to the pond so they can see you put the ducks in the pond'. And he goes, 'No, we're coming right away, we're coming over!'' However, she added, the scene turned chaotic when the 'mama duck' took off, leaving Harry, Meghan and herself to chase her. 'As he opens the door, the mama duck flies out. And he's got all the baby ducks in a box,' she told Ripa. 'We're chasing the mama duck who is in the front yard and has flown to the other side. 'We've got her ducks. Harry's running after, Meghan gets out, she's running after, chasing the mum and trying to get her to come back to her ducks.' 'And for like half an hour, we're running around with the ducks in a box. We have video. It's the funniest thing I've ever seen.' Over Easter, Meghan had shared a clip of the ducks on her Instagram page, showing herself on a driveway as they made their way across the path in front of her. 'Wishing you a Happy Easter full of love … and surprises!' she captioned it. Meanwhile, Winfrey has been a friend of the Sussexes' for years, even attending their 2018 wedding at Windsor Castle. She famously conducted their first post-royal interview, which featured explosive details about their time working within the monarchy.

Selena Gomez Tests Out the Suit and Sandal Combo for a Summer Date Night
Dressing up for summer in high heats and the arid Cali climate can be a bit of a tough one. Selena Gomez appears to have cracked the code. On Sunday (July 13), the pop star and Rare Beauty founder stepped out for date night at—where else?—celebrity hotspot Giorgio Baldi with fiancé Benny Blanco. If reports are to be believed, there's a lot of planning toward a rumored Montecito-set wedding—why not start over some red sauce? Regardless, for the occasion (eating cheesy ravioli with her love on a hot California night), Gomez opted for a sleek suit and sandal combo, giving a little bit of subversion to her usual ladylike and refined sense of style. Gomez wore for a tailored black suit, wearing a bateau neck black top underneath a black blazer, with matching suit pants that feature an ever-so-slight kick flare. On her feet, a pair of black Proenza Schouler cable thong sandals. She accessorized with—of course—her marquise diamond engagement ring, and added the fringed black Paloma bag from one of her favorite brands, Ulla Johnson. Glam stayed tested and true, wearing her newly debuted long hair—the bangs didn't last long—in soft natural waves, with a set of soapy pink nails, and a petal rose lip. Husband-to-be Benny Blanco kept to his own sartorial rhythm: the super producer wore a loose white and yellow floral shirt with camel colored pants, going sockless in brown leather loafers with gold hardware, and stacking gold chain necklaces.
