Meghan Markle was reportedly "upset" and "overwhelmed" about "South Park's" portrayal of her. A source told The Spectator that the Duchess of Sussex was "annoyed" by the adult comedy show and "refuses to watch it all," Fox News reported.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were not directly named on Wednesday's "South Park" episode, but the characters were described as Canadian royalty and called "the prince and his wife," which seemed a parody of the couple.

In the episode, the characters of the comedy show reportedly portrayed Harry and Markle begging for privacy while also drawing attention to themselves. "South Park" also described the wife character as a "sorority girl, actress, influencer, and victim," to which the character replied, "yeah, that's totally me."

Royal commentator Neil Sean said the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are closely watching the satirical cartoon series to see if there would be any more attacks. Sean noted that sources to the former royals said this "may have legal ramifications attached."

Neil Sean said the legal team of the Sussexes is looking over the episode to "see what is wrong," and "what could be turned into something more sinister." The royal correspondent noted that the "South Park" producers have yet to receive any legal correspondence from the couple, according to Sky News Australia.

There were also scenes in the episode showing magazine covers of the princess character, which fans claimed to be real-life magazine covers of Markle. The prince in the episode also just released a memoir titled "Waagh," which is similar to Harry's book "Spare."

The prince character portrayed in the comedy show realized that he did not want to be a brand and declared that there would be no more "magazines and Netflix shows," adding that they could "live a normal life," Daily Mail reported.

He was about to exit, but the princess character in the show remained inside the branding company. It ended with the prince leaving alone. Markle has yet to issue an official statement on the matter.

The duke and duchess are still deciding whether to attend King Charles III's coronation on May 6 at Westminster Abbey. According to Prince Harry's friend, the Duke of Sussex is reportedly weighing up a "million different variables" to decide whether he and his wife should fly to the U.K. in May, the Independent reported.

Harry is reportedly considering how the British public will react to him and Meghan Markle attending the coronation or their decision to skip it, which might be seen as a snub. Aside from the complications in public perception, the fourth birthday of the couple's son, Archie, coincides with his father's coronation.

The source noted that Harry knew the coronation would be "pretty much the most important day" in his father's life. Thus, sources also claimed that Harry would want to be by King Charles' side during his coronation as Britain's new king.
