Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were the butt of the joke in last week's episode of South Park as they were depicted as the Prince and Princess of Canada desperately seeking privacy.
While not directly named, the skit was clearly a dig at Harry and Meghan, as the description for last week's programme references a "prince and his wife" trying to "find privacy and seclusion in a small mountain town".
Throughout the episode there were a lot of hidden jokes and references and only eagle-eyed viewers noticed a nod to the infamous 'candle scandal' from the late Queen's funeral, writes The Mirror.The episode of the US comedy begins at a cartoon funeral of a member of the fictional Canadian version of the Royal Family.The Prince and Princess of Canada are booed by the rest of the royals because they have been 'bashing the Canadian monarchy' and as they walk down the aisle there is a candle in clear sight.
Clever fans have pointed out it's identical to the one at Queen Elizabeth II's actual funeral.During the ceremony at Westminster Abbey back in September 2022, millions tuned in to watch the procession and many questioned whether Meghan had been deliberately positioned behind a candle during the service.In the second row, Meghan was sat next to her husband and Princess Beatrice - directly behind Queen Consort Camilla, but Meghan's face was blocked by a large yellow candle with only her black hat shown for majority of the funeral.There is no suggestion the placing of one of four candles surrounding Her Majesty's coffin was intentionally positioned to obscure Meghan's face.However, it was clearly picked up by the South Park creators and featured in the episode.And many fans flocked to Twitter to talk about it.One person wrote:
