Prince Harry has been “hired” for a film in a Hallmark movie after the channel was seemingly left impressed with the Duke’s cameo on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. On Wednesday, Harry made a surprise cameo in a comedy sketch on the American chat show in which he played a version of himself auditioning to play a “Christmas prince” in a Hallmark film.
Joking that he would “do anything” to get a part in the fictional Hallmark movie, Harry said: “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.”
Harry’s appearance garnered many laughs from the audience on set and gained huge attention on social media.
The clip of the comedy sketch prompted a comment from the company on Instagram. The Hallmark channel wrote: “Prince Harry, how did you know we were looking for a horse-riding, helicopter-flying American Hallmark Prince? No audition needed, you’re hired!”
The comment has gained over 5.5K likes from social media users.
In the pantomime-inspired sketch on the show, Harry ultimately won the role of the Christmas prince, much to the delight of the audience. Wednesday’s visit was the Duke’s second Late Show appearance, having last appeared in January 2023 to promote his memoir, Spare.
Hours before the episode aired, the pair first teased the guest spot in a video that saw them lip-sync over an Alison Hammond soundbite from The Great British Bake Off.
When Harry first wandered on set, the pair shook hands as Colbert introduced him to the audience in his full title: “Folks, it’s Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Wales Sussex. What are you doing here?”
Harry replied: “Sorry, I genuinely thought this was the audition for The Gingerbread Prince Saves Christmas in a Basket…”
Colbert replied: “You’re an actual prince, why would you want to be in one of those movies?”
To which Harry added: “Well, you Americans are obsessed with Christmas movies, and you’re clearly obsessed with royalty, so why not?”
