The British monarchy is far more than glittering crowns and rehearsed royal waves; it is an enduring empire of legacy, influence, and immense fortune, carefully sculpted over generations. Among its most headline-grabbing figures stands Prince Harry, a royal who has boldly redrawn the lines of tradition while feeding the media machine and financial forecasts alike. However, fame seldom walks alone. Since stepping into the limelight with his wife, Meghan Markle, controversy has followed them like an ever-present shadow. Now, the Duke once again stands exposed beneath an unforgiving spotlight.

Prince Harry’s privileged Montecito life with Meghan Markle faced sharp mockery as the iconic satire show Spitting Image reimagined the Duke in puppet form, turning royal reality into biting parody.

In a YouTube clip from Spitting Image: The Rest Is Bulls!t*, Prince Harry became the prime target of biting humor. The show, notorious for its sharp satire, returned by unleashing a grotesque puppet version of the Duke of Sussex, poking fun at his Montecito lifestyle. Introducing himself as “Just a regular guy with a title,” the Duke’s puppet confessed to podcasting due to lacking any “discernible talent.” The skit also jabbed at his strained royal family ties and California comforts.

The episode takes repeated swipes at Prince Harry’s California lifestyle, portraying his puppet praising Elon Musk for challenging the government before declaring, “I’m trying to do the same with my family!” The satire also invents a butler named Perkins, who makes the Spare author a bacon sandwich to spare him from Meghan Markle’s “rank smoothies.” Adding to the mockery, the Duke’s puppet admits to attending sessions with an “accountability coach.” Beyond the satirical jabs, the Sussexes are currently under fire for reducing their household staff.

The royal spotlight burns on, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s latest move of quietly cutting staff as their Netflix chapter nears its end has fans and critics alike wondering what unexpected twist comes next.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are once again making headlines for shrinking their inner circle, this time saying farewell to their communications team in what many see as another bold cost-cutting move. Only weeks earlier, they reportedly let go of six more staff members, including trusted in-house aides. Since their royal departure in 2020, around 25 team members have exited, as reported by Page Six. As their Netflix deal inches toward its finale, one royal insider delivered a sharp blow, declaring, “Milk lasts longer than their employees.” 

The insider did not hold back, comparing the couple’s rapid staff turnover to people burning through toilet paper. Though Prince Harry and Meghan Markle enjoyed massive hits with Harry & Meghan and With Love, Meghan, other ventures like Heart of Invictus and Polo barely stirred public interest. With Netflix tightening its belt and its lavish Montecito lifestyle draining resources, financial pressure may be mounting, despite the Duchess scoring a retail win with As Ever. Yet again, the Sussexes remain firmly under the spotlight, intensified by this latest puppet ridicule.
