Prince Harry, Meghan Markle slam ‘savage’ ‘Family Guy’ attack as an ‘outrageous slur’: report
recent “Family Guy” episode that mocked the runaway royals.Sources close to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex claim that the pair have labeled the “savage” episode as an “outrageous slur,” according to Closer magazine.The couple found themselves the butt of the joke in a recent episode of the series, in which their money-hungry ways were mercilessly mocked by the animated show.The pair, who quit royal life in 2020, have been feeling like “they’re not being taken seriously enough by people” and that they “can’t catch a break,” the source adds.“Meghan said she won’t be humiliated like this and is desperate for a solution. They’re in full panic mode,” a source told the outlet, adding that the couple has called it an “attack from inside Hollywood.”“What’s hit them hardest and cuts the deepest of all is that it plays up the whole notion they’re self-entitled grifters or spoilt brats,” the insider added.Elsewhere, the source said that the “Suits” alum believes the only way for them to save their struggling brand is for Harry to “swallow his pride and beg for his family’s forgiveness.”The Post has reached out to reps for the Sussexes for comment.The episode in question roasted the couple over their Netflix deal, rumored to be worth $100 million, and showed Peter Griffin (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) on an adventure to become a TV extra to make money.“I’ll go it alone, just like Meghan Markle and Prince Harry,” he says.
