Prince Harry and Meghan Markle get a hilarious shout-out in the second season of “Nobody Wants This.”
In a newly released episode, Joanne (Kristen Bell) and her sister Morgan (Justine Lupe) get into an argument about Morgan’s relationship with her therapist, Dr. Andy (Arian Moayed).
“Am I supposed to believe everything you say?” Joanne asks Morgan. “According to you, you could have been Meghan Markle.”
Morgan, annoyed by the comment, fires back, “I said I saw Prince Harry at a bar and there was a vibe, OK? And there was a vibe!”
The show, which premiered in September 2024, centers on the relationship between a rabbi (Adam Brody) and an agnostic non-Jewish woman (Bell).
Prince Harry met the “Suits” alum at a bar on a blind date in July 2016, after being set up by mutual friends.
The Duke of Sussex first saw a photo of Markle on a friend’s Instagram and asked to be set up.
“I was scrolling through my feed and one of my friends and someone who was a friend had this video of the two of them, like a Snapchat,” Harry said. “I was like, ‘Who is that?’” he shared on the mini-series “Harry & Meghan.”
After their initial drink, they quickly arranged to see each other again and even went on a safari weeks later, despite barely knowing each other.
“I was astonished that she said, ‘Yes,’” Harry recalled. “This woman, that I’ve really met twice, she’s coming to Botswana, and we’re gonna be living in a tent for five days!” he shared on the docuseries.
The couple got engaged in 2017 and married the following year.
Meanwhile, the release of “Nobody Wants This” has been slightly overshadowed by a heavily criticized post Bell shared on Instagram, celebrating her wedding anniversary with Dax Shepard.
Bell, 45, captioned a photo of the two hugging, “Happy 12th wedding anniversary to the man who once said to me: ‘I would never kill you. A lot of men have killed their wives at a certain point. Even though I’m heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would.’ ❤️.”
Many called the post insensitive, especially as October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
“just an fyi, posting this caption during domestic violence awareness month is unbelievably tone deaf :/ please reconsider,” one person urged.
“Thats a wildly sad and insensitive thing to say considering it’s domestic violence awareness month and thousands of women have died a[t] the hands of the man they trusted…,” another pointed out.
Following the uproar, the “Gossip Girl” alum limited comments on her account.
