A new episode of South Park shows the Queen shooting herself in a parody of drama series 24.

The Queen takes a pistol, puts it in her mouth and pulls the trigger, reports the Daily Mirror.

Her cartoon body slumps to the floor by her throne with her fallen crown beside her.

Bosses of the cult show are braced for a barrage of complaints when it is screened in Britain this year.

A source at the US Comedy Central network said: “South Park has never shied away from offending people in the name of comedy.

“Scriptwriters say nobody is off-limits to be poked fun at – including the Queen.”

The episode, shown in the US this week, centres on a terror threat and parodies drama series 24.

The Queen is shown trying to regain control of the US for the British Empire and kills herself as her plans collapse.
