Prince Harry and
Meghan Markle were not expecting to be mocked following the release of Harry's explosive memoir Spare , according to a former friend. In the book, the
Duke of Sussex makes a number of accusations about members of the
Royal Family and opens up about his new life in
California. Harry also went into a lot of detail about his relationship with his father King Charles and even described a "fight" involving his brother
Prince William . While the book has broken publishing records across the world , it's also been widely mocked by some of the world's most famous celebrities. Chris Rock took aim at Meghan in his
Netflix special and
Trevor Noah joked about Harry's "frost-bitten" penis as he hosted the Grammy Awards last month. Harry and Meghan's children may STILL be given Coronation role - if family attend Meghan Markle and

"I don't think they would have thought that people like Trevor Noah, for instance, would joke about them at the
Grammys and that it would be humiliating," Nick Ede told the Express . Nick, who met Meghan at the Global Gift Giving Gala in 2013, added: "Humour is always about the zeitgeist of what's going on. It's about what's happening now, so they're the sort of low hanging fruit." The Duke and
Duchess of Sussex wouldn't have been expecting the "humiliating" jibes, according to a former friend Meghan and Harry were also mercilessly mocked in an episode of South Park, as they were depicted as the "Prince and Princess of Canada" on a "worldwide privacy tour". Following the episode, the couple were said to be considering legal action but a spokesperson slammed the claims as "baseless and boring" in a statement given to Newsweek .
