Prince Harry and Meghan Markle mocked by 'Family Guy' for being paid to do 'no one knows what'
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were previously parodied on ‘South Park’
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing a new round of mockery from an animated series, this time from "Family Guy" on Fox.
In an episode that aired Sunday night, main character Peter Griffin (voiced by series creator Seth MacFarlane) is seen sitting in a bar with friends pondering how to get back money he is owed when he jokes that he’ll "go it alone, just like Meghan Markle and Prince Harry."
The scene then cuts to cartoon versions of Harry and Meghan laying poolside as a butler approaches with an envelope.

Cartoon Meghan Markle then gets a notification on her phone and declares, "Babe, time to do our daily $250,000 sponsored Instagram post for Del Taco."
The animated prince sighs and says, "I shouldn’t have left the made-up nonsense."
Representatives for "Family Guy," MacFarlane and the Sussexes did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

The digs at the couple’s life come from recent headlines about their deals in Hollywood that have faced criticism within the industry.
In June, Bill Simmons, head of Spotify’s global sports content, called the couple out after their multimillion-dollar deal with the audio platform ended, shortly after the last airing of Markle’s podcast "Archetypes."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}On an episode of his "Bill Simmons Podcast," he called Harry and Meghan "f---ing grifters" and alluded to a failed brainstorming session over Zoom.
"I gotta get drunk one night and tell the story of the Zoom I had with Harry to try and help him with a podcast idea. It’s one of my best stories," Simmons said.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}United Talent Agency CEO Jeremy Zimmer also took a swipe at Markle after the end of "Archetypes," telling news website Semafor earlier this year, "Turns out Meghan Markle was not a great audio talent, or necessarily any kind of talent."
"And, you know, just because you're famous doesn't make you great at something," he added.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a multiyear production deal with Netflix in 2020, and have so far released three docuseries: "Harry and Meghan," "Heart of Invictus" and "Live to Lead."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Scripted projects are also in the works, with the couple purchasing the rights to Carley Fortune’s romance novel, "Meet Me at the Lake," to adapt into a feature film.

As for the Instagram quip, the couple does not post sponsored content on their social media. However, there was speculation that Markle could make up to a $1 million a post if she chose to do so.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The "Family Guy" clip comes after Comedy Central’s "South Park" previously poked fun at Harry and Meghan in an episode titled "The Worldwide Privacy Tour."
Described as royalty from Canada, they are depicted throughout the episode as simultaneously demanding privacy while seeking attention at the same time, appearing on talk shows and stages around the world.
Prince Harry’s memoir even gets a satirical retitling, changing from "Spare" to "WAAGH."

The fictional couple decides to move to the titular town of South Park to convince people that they are "really serious about wanting to be normal," soon unloading their private jet and moving into a house across the street from Kyle Broflovski.
Kyle is routinely distracted by them and complains to his friends at one point, "I'm sick of hearing about them! But I can't get away from them. They're everywhere!"
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Canadian royalty eventually visit a branding agency, which teases that "victim" is part of their brand.
Though they never addressed it publicly, a source told The Spectator that Markle had been "upset and overwhelmed" by the episode and is "annoyed by ‘South Park’ but refuses to watch it all."
