South Park did even more savage takedown of William and Kate - and violated the Queen

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been brutally mocked on South Park - but they certainly aren't the first royal victims.

Show creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone like to poke fun at anyone and everyone on their cartoon series, which was dedicated to the The Duke and Duchess of Sussex this week.

While they aren't actually specifically named, it is pretty obvious who the fictional 'Prince and Princess of Canada' are supposed to be.

The South Park team have really gone in hard on Meghan and Harry, mocking everything from his frostbitten todger to her magazine covers and even that candle scandal.

But they shouldn't feel too hard done by, as many have pointed out that Prince William and Kate Middleton got an even harsher treatment.

The Prince and Princess of Wales got the satirical treatment after their wedding in 2011, which also used the fake Canadian royals as a substitute for the real British version.

In the season 15 episode 'Royal Pudding', Kyle Broflovski's Canadian-born adopted brother Ike is watching the The Prince and Princess of Canada's wedding on TV.

A band plays 'the march of a thousand farts' as cars with square wheels start driving up to the abbey, while a spoof version of the late Queen 'queefs' in the front row.

The main gag of the scene was to show ludicrous parts of the wedding ceremony while the commentator says "as is tradition".

As the prince walks down the aisle, guests throw Captain Crunch instead of confetti before his princess (spoof Kate) arrives and is labelled "pure of heart, strong in body, hot in the face".

The happy couple then dip their arms in a massive batch of butterscotch pudding and wipe it off - but before they can tie the knot the princess is dramatically kidnapped.

The roof of the abbey collapses, falling on and killing many guests, while the bride is trapped in a cube and hoisted away by a beam of light, which "certainly doesn't go with tradition".

The rest of the episode revolves around Ike managing to free the princess and the wedding goes ahead - with the final part of the ceremony involving the prince ripping off the princess' arms.

The spoof Prince of Canada also featured in the 2014 episode Freemium Isn't Free, where he devised a plan to get everyone addicted to a new mobile game but summoned the Canadian Devil instead.

While the late Queen Elizabeth also featured in 2007 episode The Snuke ,where Britain tried to end a new American Revolution.

In a very distasteful scene, the Queen gets a call from a sailor to say her plan has failed and she ends up shooting herself.

So actually, you have to say that Meghan and Harry probably got off pretty lightly.

Many people on Twitter were quick to point out that William and Kate had been mocked over a decade ago.

One viewer wrote: "Yes South Park have roasted Harry and Meghan but they've done the same to William and Kate and have a history of dragging the royals before. It's actually an honour to be coated by South Park because it shows you're someone of relevance"

"Yes...South Park does what South Park does...roast everybody...as they did with William and Kate at their wedding. This is nothing new, so this Harry n Meghan hysteria is a bit melodramatic," added another.

A third said: "It's almost as if people don't know how South Park works. They already did William and Catherine 12 years ago. They've done the whole Royal Family. It's what they do. You're nobody until South Park spoofs you."

A royal expert on today's Good Morning Britain claimed William would have "had a wry smile on his face" as he watched the adult cartoon take aim at his brother and sister-in-law. Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, one guest mused when appearing on Good Morning Britain today.

Ed Balls and Ranvir Singh discussed the controversial cartoon - with the guest suggesting Harry's brother William will have caught the satirical dig at his younger sibling.

"Do you think William and Kate will be looking forward to watching this?" Ed asked.

The royal expert replied: "I think William will have been sent clips by one of his friends. William I'm sure doesn't watch South Park but I reckon one of his friend's will have seen it on social media and [sent a clip his way]."

He went on to claim: "I think he's probably seen it and will have had a wry smile on his face [when watching]."
