A recent episode of the long-running animated sitcom Family Guy has stirred controversy by including a scene featuring Meghan Markle and Prince Harry alongside Adolf Hitler. The segment, which aired this week, has been widely condemned as tasteless and offensive.
In the scene, Hitler is shown interacting with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in a surreal and comedic setting. Critics argue that the portrayal trivialises historical atrocities while unfairly targeting the royal couple.
Royal commentators have expressed dismay at the show's decision to use the couple as punchlines in such a provocative context. "This crosses a line," said one insider. "Mocking public figures is one thing, but invoking Hitler in the same breath is deeply inappropriate."
Meanwhile, supporters of the show defend it as satire, arguing that Family Guy has a long history of pushing boundaries. "No one is off-limits in comedy," tweeted one fan. "If you don't like it, don't watch."
The episode has reignited debates about the limits of humour and whether certain topics should remain taboo in entertainment. Buckingham Palace has yet to comment on the matter.
