Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could come on down to South Park and sue the show for its portrayal of the pair, an expert has claimed.
Legal teams are reportedly "casting an eye" over the long-running animated programme after a string of attacks on the couple, with creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker taking a jab at their public image.
Ridiculing demands for privacy and the recently released autobiography from the Duke of Sussex, Spare, it has been suggested "legal ramifications" are on the table.

It comes after the duo were lampooned in a recent episode of South Park, where they appeared on a chat show to talk about their desire to live "normal lives".
Royal commentator Neil Sean said: "According to sources close to the ex-Royals, it appears that, like so many things with Meghan and Harry, this may have legal ramifications attached.
"Their legal team are casting an eye over the episode to see what is wrong, and what could be turned into something more sinister."
Expert Sean, speaking to Fox News, noted that neither Parker nor Stone had received legal correspondence from the pair or their representatives.
South Park took aim at the couple, depicting the "Prince and Princess of Canada", the former of which had released a book titled "Waaagh".

The pair's likeness to the Duke and Duchess was further mocked, with the likenesses of Harry and Meghan seen walking the streets holding placards reading "stop looking at us"" and "we want our privacy!!".
In an excerpt from the recent episode, a talk show segment shows the royal couple asked why Harry had reported on his own family with the autobiography, despite "hating" journalists.
South Park, which first aired in 1997, is no stranger to hot water and controversial depictions of famous faces.
Religious groups have often taken offence at the show, with an outright ban on the airing of South Park still in effect in China.
A spokesperson for Meghan and Harry has been contacted for comment.
