Calls for South Park to take a second bite out of Meghan and Harry: New 'Respect our pregnancy' joke appears online after Duchess's latest social media posts
Paramount is remaining tight-lipped about calls for the upcoming new series of South Park to feature an episode of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
Fans of the satirical cartoon series roared with laughter when the royal couple were depicted on an episode titled 'The World Wide Privacy Tour' in February 2023.
It ridiculed Meghan and Harry's demands for privacy while on a publicity blitz for the prince's autobiography 'Waaaagh' - a dig at Harry's memoir Spare.
The cartoon prince and princess carried banners emblazoned with the 'Respect Our Privacy' slogan they shouted at anyone who looked their way.
Now, viewers are hoping for another instalment poking fun at them, citing the delivery ward twerking video posted by the Duchess earlier this month as perfect reference material for creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
On social media site X, fans made a call-back to 'Respect Our Privacy' line in response to reposts of Meghan's twerking clip.
One said: 'What about this isn't 100% South Park Fodder???!!!!! Bring on the "Respect Our Pregnancy" episode!!!!!'
Another fan pitch for the episode simply said: 'Meghan Markle "Twerking Respect our Pregnancy" Movie.'
Others speculated producers are already creating storyboards for the 'projected' episode.
Meghan addressed the viral video she shared of herself dancing in a bid to induce labour this week in an upcoming podcast with Dragons' Den star Emma Grede, preaching she can finally 'share her authentic life' on 'her own terms'.
Paramount have neither confirmed or denied the rumours, telling MailOnline: 'We don't actually have any confirmed details we can share around the new series of South Park but will be in touch once we have!'
If the creators do decide to delight their audience with a 'Respect Our Pregnancy' episode, they might want to brace themselves for some more backlash from the couple.
After 'The World Wide Privacy Tour' aired, insiders claimed the Duchess of Sussex had been left 'upset and overwhelmed' by the satirical portrayal.
The source told The Spectator the Duchess was 'annoyed by South Park but refuses to watch it all.'
At the time, rumours swirled of apparent plans by the Sussexes to sue the cartoon's creators, with Royal commentator Neil Sean telling Fox News that representatives for the pair were watching the series closely for any more attacks.
But Harry and Meghan swiftly shut them down through their spokesperson who blasted the claims as 'boring and baseless'.
It's not the first time people have called for another episode aimed at the Duke and Duchess.
In March, royal fans called for a fresh instalment following the debut of Meghan Markle's latest Netflix show With Love, Meghan, given the lifestyle series bore all the hallmarks of a South Park send-up.
One person wrote on X: '@SouthPark we need you, we need you now to do another laughable sketch on this joke of a couple!'
Another chimed: 'There is so much comedy gold being generated from Meghan Markle's ridiculous 'teasers' for her show, and these stupid interviews. I have to think @SouthPark is where the real money is going to be made.'
While a third added: 'Do a sequel to Worldwide Privacy Tour. Call it Worldwide Disaster Tour to mock Harry and Meghan's wildfire visit.'
A fourth said: 'Im watching @SouthPark world wide privacy tour they gotta make one about the ingiftus [sic] games & the recent disaster tourist accusations.'
And one said: 'i don't understand why anyone would tune into this show. MM trying so hard. she just loves the camera. South Park got it right with the Harry & Megan privacy tour.'

Adorable baby animal on the brink of extinction is born at Iowa zoo
An adorable baby animal on the brink of extinction was born at a zoo in Iowa last week. Henri, a male addax, also known as a white antelope, was welcomed to the herd at Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines Thursday. Henri was born to his parents, Adeline and Po, who were both relocated to the zoo from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Addax Species Survival Plan for a breeding recommendation, WHO13 reported. There are fewer than approximately 100 Addax left in the wild, making them ' critically endangered species,' the zoo said in a Facebook post. 'Henri might be hard to spot while he's resting. Addax calves often hide or "nest" when they're young. Be sure to say hi if you see him!,' they added alongside precious pictures of him exploring the zoo grounds. He is the second Addax calf born at Blank Park Zoo as his older sister Bonnie was born in 2023, the outlet said. Addaxes are native to the Sahara Desert and are known for their large, spiral horns and pale skin. Male addaxes can grow up to 41-45 inches tall while females can get to 37-43 inches. Although they are known for their light colored skin, it is known to change to a greyish-brown color in the winter. The white or sandy blonde shade typically comes back in the summer for the species. Anne Shimerdla, the President and CEO of Blank Park Zoo, shared her joy in welcoming Henri into the world, especially because he is part of an endangered species. 'Every birth like Henri's is a step forward for a species on the brink of extinction,' Shimerdla told the outlet. 'It underscores our ongoing dedication to species conservation and education. We hope that this, along with our temporary transformation into Dino Park Zoo this summer, will inspire guests to take action to save animals from extinction.' The zoo is set to open a new site, Dino Park Zoo, in July, according to the website. The exhibit is 'a prehistoric experience 65 million years in the making' that will allow visitors to 'walk among 15 life-sized animatronic dinosaurs and explore dino-themed exhibits, activities, and events that bring the ancient world roaring to life.' Although Henri's birth is especially exciting for the zoo, he is not the only new arrival welcomed this summer. Just days before Henri was born, two bamboo sharks, named Snoopy and Pluto, made their debut in the zoo's big reef aquarium in the Discovery Center Home. Henri was born to his parents, Adeline and Po, who were both relocated to the zoo from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Addax Species Survival Plan for a breeding recommendation Bamboo sharks, also known as longtail carpet sharks, feed on bottom-dwellers and smaller fish. Zoo officials said their births marked the first time the zoo has ever housed sharks. A tiger shovelnose catfish was also recently welcomed to the Amazon aquarium in the zoo's Discovery Center. And just about a week before the sharks were born, a new rhino arrived at Blank Park Zoo. On June 11, a four-year-old eastern black rhino named AJ joined the crew after his transfer from Cincinnati Zoo. AJ, which is short for Ajani Joe, stands for 'he who wins the struggle' in Swahili. Guests are welcome to see all the new animals and more at the zoo, which is open daily.

Jennifer Garner and her boyfriend John Miller were the ultimate cute couple on Sunday morning. Miller gave his girlfriend a sweet smooch as he supported her at a running event she was hosting benefitting Save The Children. Garner, 53, flung her arms around her love, greeted him with a kiss, and held him close.

Jennifer and John have been dating since 2018. Garner is also close to her ex-husband Ben Affleck whom she has her kids with: Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13.

The source added that there was plenty of affection between the two of them. 'They held hands and kissed and looked like a very normal couple with no Hollywood weirdness.'
