In the video, Simon Brodkin begins by sharing his evolving perspective on the couple, from an initial inclination to like them to the eventual revelation that, by the end, he found himself "rooting for Prince Andrew." The comedic jabs didn't stop there, as Brodkin spotlighted a cringe-worthy quote from Prince Harry about a particular date with Meghan, describing it as the night they "pulled the pin on a fun grenade."
The audience, who undoubtedly tuned in for a good laugh, found themselves witnessing the transformation of Meghan Markle from a Hollywood star to the subject of ridicule. And this, of course, triggered outrage.
Meghan's devoted fans, who seem to take any criticism of their idol as a personal attack, took to social media to express their discontent. One fan lamented, "You know the hate they get is causing Meghan to receive death threats, why add to that? There are countless people you could make the butt of your jokes, but you choose to make cheap jokes about Harry and Meghan." Another perplexed fan questioned the essence of the jokes, saying, "I don't even understand the jokes! All I know is that putting Andrew in the same sentence as H&M is tasteless."
The fervor and the sanctimonious defense of Meghan Markle raise intriguing questions about the state of celebrity worship and the echo chamber that surrounds this couple. Are they beyond criticism? Is any form of humor or critique deemed an unacceptable attack on their character? The reactions suggest an intolerance for any narrative that doesn't align with the carefully curated image of Meghan as a perpetual victim and Harry as her unwavering companion.
As the social media outrage continues to swirl, it leaves us pondering the future of the Sussex duo in 2024. Will they remain shielded from any form of criticism, or will the cracks in their carefully crafted facade become too evident to ignore? Only time will tell. However, one thing is certain—the royal drama is far from over, and these comedic moments are just another chapter in Meghan and Harry's ongoing quest for public admiration.
