Prince Harry made a surprise appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and was jokingly ‘booed’ as he cracked Pantomime-style jokes to the audience. As well as delivering a series of cringeworthy jokes, Harry claimed the US is “obsessed with royalty”, before taking aim at the US President.
Harry mocked Trump by claiming the US had “elected a king”, and was met with the theatrical boos from the audience who were on their feet, cheering the Duke. Elsewhere in the sit-down, Harry spoke about his thoughts on his 2023 memoir, Spare, and also revealed he has watched all of Netflix’s The Crown.
He also participated in a Hallmark-style Christmas sketch with his host.
The prince’s sketch saw him list his credentials for appearing in a holiday film. He said: “So what’s a prince got to do to get into a Hallmark movie these days? I’ve got skills. I can ride a horse, I can fly a helicopter, I can ride a horse in a helicopter!
Colbert then referenced Meghan Markle’s acting career, saying, “This is show business, it’s about who you know. I mean, do you have a personal connection to any famous TV actresses?”
“I might know one,” the prince quickly said. “I’ll do anything,” he said as he jokingly begged to be cast in a festive movie. “I’ll record a self-tape, I’ll fly myself to an audition, settle a baseless lawsuit with the White House, all the things you people in TV do.”
“I didn’t do that,” the host replied, referring to the $36million settlement his network reached with the President over a reportedly edited interview with Kamala Harris. “Maybe that’s why you were cancelled,” the prince quipped.
Elsewhere in his interview, Harry revealed that he has watched Netflix’s The Crown. He said: “There’s people laughing at that – yes, I have actually watched The Crown.”
Stephen then asked if he had watched the “recent stuff or the older stuff,” to which Harry replied, “The older stuff and the more recent stuff.”
Jokingly asking Harry, in response to claims that the show is inaccurate, Stephen then continued: “Do you fact-check it while you watch it?” Harry then pretended to take out a notepad and mimed taking notes before laughing: “Yes, I do actually.”
