Meghan Markle and Prince Harry may face a comedic roast at the 2023 Oscars, according to PR expert Matt Yanofsky.

This comes after a scathing South Park episode that mocked the couple, which has given others permission to finally say what they think about them.

While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex won't be in attendance at the event, Yanofsky believes there's a good chance they'll still be referenced on Hollywood's big night.

Yanofsky, who runs marketing and publicity agents The Moment Lab, said that South Park is a show that has grandfathered into pop culture.

No one is cancelling it, and it has a history of saying what everyone thinks but are scared to admit.

The episode was widely well-received by viewers, with some labelling it pure gold.

In it, a couple based on the royals were seen to move across the road from Kyle as they continued their worldwide privacy tour, despite craving attention.

By satirising the couple, they've given other people permission to finally say what they think about Meghan and Harry.

As we saw similarly with Chris Rock's stand-up special, Meghan and Harry are no longer untouchable in the US.

And on how they'll be received at Sunday's awards, he added, The Oscars, though, is the most out-of-touch audience in Hollywood.

It's 50-50.

If they joke about the couple, or if they start mocking Meghan and Harry in five years, it'll be interesting to see what happens.

It's unclear whether the Sussexes, whose popularity has plummeted, are worried about being the b*tt of potential Oscars jokes, whether by host Jimmy Kimmel, award presenters or winners themselves.

Meghan and Harry were never invited to the Oscars and never will be, because they're not relevant in the film industry, period.

They have no current, past or future projects, and neither are film stars, or recording industry stars working on soundtracks.

Jimmy Kimmel made fun of Prince Harry over a passage in his memoir Spare.

The TV presenter mocked the Duke of Sussex by unveiling a rhyming children's book about the Chile incident on his show, Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Kimmel began the segment by introducing the book titled The Prince and the p-nis.

He added to uproars of laughter from the audience, If the kids are still up, this would be a good time to gather them around the TV.

At the Chile North Pole, a silly young codger took a walk in the snow and froze his wee todger, Kimmel began.

The parody children's book goes on to reference Princess Diana, who appears from a cloud to offer the Duke cream for his frostbitten part of the body.

Oh mummy, oh mummy, he cried with a scream, and from then up on high she appeared with some cream.

My poor little prince, put this on your willy, it will lessen the ache and make it far less chilly.

Kimmel continues to roars from the crowd.

Those continues to describe how Diana applied cream to Harry's p-nis is something which didn't really happen.

With the parody Harry saying, but mummy, have you heard about Sir Sigmund Freud?

The Oscars are coming, Jimmy Kimmel may do another bit about the prince and the p-nis.

Chris Rock was spectacularly slapped by Will Smith at last year's Academy Awards, but it's the Duke and Duchess of Sussex who could be getting their own smackdown at the 2023 Oscars.

It's believed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may be roasted by big names at the ceremony set to take place this Sunday, March the 12th in Los Angeles.

That's the opinion of PR expert and the moment Lab founder Matt Yanofsky, who believes the royals could face the wrath of the comedic hosts on the back of the scathing South Park episode, which not so subtly mocked them both.
