Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been the subject of ridicule in recent years. From being mocked on the adult comedy show South Park to being the butt of jokes at the Golden Globes, they have faced their fair share of criticism. But could these jokes actually be a good thing for the couple? According to PR expert Mark Borkowski, it shows that Harry and Meghan are still relevant and able to laugh at themselves.
The South Park Episode
In an episode of South Park, Harry and Meghan were parodied along with other celebrities. The show has a history of mocking public figures, and the Duke and Duchess were no exception. The episode featured scenes inspired by real-life events, including Meghan’s struggle with the media and Harry’s book release. While the couple may not have found it funny, it’s clear that they are still in the public eye and the subject of conversation.
The Golden Globe Jokes
At the recent Golden Globe Awards, host Jo Koy didn’t hold back with jokes about Harry and Meghan. He made fun of the “rich, white, and dysfunctional” Royal Family and even joked about Harry asking Queen Elizabeth II for money. While some may see these jokes as humiliating, Borkowski argues that it’s better to be joked about than to be ignored. It shows that Harry and Meghan are still relevant and able to take a joke.
Mixed Reactions
Not everyone agrees with Borkowski’s perspective. Royal commentator Phil Dampier believes that being ridiculed can be a turning point for Harry and Meghan. He suggests that if they don’t do something to change public opinion soon, they could face a decline in popularity. It remains to be seen how the couple will navigate these challenges and whether they will be able to regain favor with the public.
The Future for Harry and Meghan
Despite the jokes and criticism, Harry and Meghan are still living a comfortable life in California. However, they have faced setbacks, such as the end of their Spotify deal and negative comments from Spotify executive Bill Simmons. It’s clear that their journey outside of the Royal Family hasn’t been without its challenges. Only time will tell what the future holds for the couple and whether they will be able to regain their popularity.
In the end, the ridicule and jokes may not be all bad for Harry and Meghan. It shows that they are still relevant and able to generate conversation. Whether they use this opportunity to their advantage remains to be seen. It’s clear that they are determined to live life on their own terms, and their journey is far from over.
