Lucy Punch who portrayed Kate Middleton’s role in The Prince’s blistering royal comedy, said that airing it three months after the death of the Duke was “really unfortunate timing”.
Family Guy’s Gary Janetti created the animated series in 12 parts. It centers on a fictional Prince George, who is a child dictator with a twisted sense of humor, expensive tastes, and dim views of his family.
The scene shows Prince Philip (who died in April at 99) drooling, vacant and eventually falling to the ground while his family continue talking around him.
HBO faced criticism after releasing the series on a delayed schedule due to Philip’s passing. It was also criticised for mocking Prince George and Princess Charlotte following his death.
Punch (43), who lives in Los Angeles, stated that Kate’s portrayal of her was a joke.

Speaking at the time the series was delayed journalist and royal commentator Robert Jobson, the author of Prince Philip’s Century: The Extraordinary Life of the Duke of Edinburgh, said the series was tasteless but that Prince Philip would have taken it with a ‘pinch of salt’.
He explained that despite the fact that satire has been around for many centuries, it was not appropriate to portray the Duke of Edinburgh in a sexist manner.

He proudly presented the milk to Meghan, telling her: “You don’t need to be a worker anymore. I have this!” Get your game on America.
