"The prince of Canada is about to take a princess in an all-new episode of 'South Park,'" the cable network said in a synopsis. "It is a joyous time for all Canadians as the royal wedding commences. But just as the prince and princess are about to be joined for all eternity, the princess is abducted. All Canadians are called upon to help save the princess. [Character] Ike answers the call to arms."

The show is in its 15th season.

Britain's Prince William married his longtime girlfriend, Kate Middleton, in London last month.
