Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park, have said that they have received positive feedback from Hollywood stars about their show's portrayal of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Stone and Parker said that they have been told by "a lot of people" in Hollywood that they "appreciate" the way that South Park has mocked Markle and Harry.

"They say, 'Thank you for saying what we're all thinking,'" Stone said. "'We can't say it, but you can.'"
Parker added that he thinks Markle and Harry are "disgraced" in the United States.
"They're like a laughingstock here," Parker said. "They're just like a punchline."
Stone and Parker's comments come after South Park aired an episode in February 2023 that mocked Markle and Harry's decision to step back from their royal duties. The episode, titled "The Worldwide Privacy Tour," depicted Markle as a "sorority girl" and Harry as a "victim."
The episode was met with mixed reactions, with some people praising South Park for its satire and others criticizing it for being mean-spirited.
However, it seems that Stone and Parker are not concerned about the backlash. In the interview with The Hollywood Reporter, they said that they are "not afraid" to mock anyone, including Markle and Harry.
"We're not afraid to say what we think," Stone said. "That's what South Park is all about."
Parker added that he thinks it is important to "hold people accountable" for their actions, even if they are celebrities.
"We're not going to let them get away with anything," Parker said. "We're going to call them out."
It remains to be seen how Markle and Harry will react to Stone and Parker's comments. However, it is clear that the South Park creators are not afraid to speak their minds, even if it means offending some people.
