Meghan ‘snubbed Coronation over fears of South Park backlash’, expert claims
Meghan Markle may have snubbed an appearance at King Charles' upcoming Coronation because she feared the impact a South Park skit had for her and Prince Harry.
With the Coronation of the King of England just around the corner, a royal expert has alleged the Duchess of Sussex's absence is due to the show's lampooning of the Sussex duo earlier this year.
The duo were done up as the Prince and Princess of Canada on the show, where a ginger-haired man and American woman embarked on a "privacy tour".

And Neil Sean believes this interpretation of the couple damaged the chances of Meghan appearing at the Coronation of King Charles, which is set to be held on May 6.
Sean said: "For Meghan it was a real hitbox, not only did they have imagery that looks exactly like them but it poked fun at everything they tried to put together and stood for.
"Meghan would like to move people away from that particular image, and that's going to be one of the biggest problems for Harry and Meghan moving forward."
It was that image in the minds of those South Park fans which turned Meghan away from the idea of returning to the UK, Sean alleged.

He added: "It is the chance that Meghan feared about her return to back here to the United Kingdom. It wasn't necessarily the rock with the British Monarchy or meeting people up close and personal after being so derogatory about them.
"It took a cartoon image to make Meghan realise this was not going to be very good for her, so she decided to move away from any confrontation."
The Daily Star previously reported on the South Park skit, with one expert alleging it spoke for "many millions" of people around the country.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said the Sussex duo could "dole it out" but could not take jabs against the image.
