The interaction took an unexpected turn when Harry revealed that his kids, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, are massive fans of the presenter. This prompted Ms Hammond to ask the Duke about his hilarious impression of her on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in the US, which Harry said was “a huge hit”.
Seizing the moment, Ms Hammond suggested: “I live in Birmingham, are you going to come round to my house today or a little bit later?”
Prince Harry was visibly taken aback by the unexpected invitation, going bright red on camera as he hesitated: “Uh, maybe.”
Then, when she invited the royal over for a meal of ackee and saltfish, an excited Alison beamed, “Let’s do it!” while Harry replied, “Alright, let me think about it.”
“I’ll go and get everything ready at the house, a little tidy up, bleach my toilets,” she laughed. This prompted the Duke to joke, “Why do you need to tidy up? I’ll come and bleach your toilets.”
The bizarre crossover has drawn intense scrutiny. Viewers quickly took to social media to react to the unusual exchange, highlighting the public’s starkly divided opinions.
One ITV viewer remarked: “Alison Hammond was actually doing so well there with a serious interview, and then she suddenly reverted to type, asked Harry round to her house, and made it all about her.”
Another viewer was left completely baffled by the exchange, posting: “Prince Harry must be thinking ‘wtaf?'” While a third added: “You know that he isn’t coming to do your toilets right, Alison… right?”
However, the Duke was praised for his approachable nature, with other viewers calling the presenter “just brilliant” for bringing out a more relatable side to the royal. During the chat, Harry also shared a rare update about his family when Ms Hammond asked about Meghan and their kids.
The royal responded: “They don’t tell me every day that they’re proud of me, but yeah, I’m proud of them. I love my family.”
