Prince Harry<\/a> has been “hired” for a film in a Hallmark movie<\/a> 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<\/a> on the American chat show in which he played a version of himself auditioning to play a “Christmas prince” in a Hallmark film.<\/p>\n

Joking that he would “do anything” to get a part in the fictional Hallmark movie, Harry said: “I\u2019ll record a self-tape, I\u2019ll fly myself to an audition, settle a baseless lawsuit with the White House \u2013 all the things you people in TV do.”<\/p>\n

Harry’s appearance garnered many laughs from the audience on set and gained huge attention on social media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The clip of the comedy sketch prompted a comment from the company on Instagram.<\/a> The Hallmark channel wrote: “Prince Harry<\/a>, how did you know we were looking for a horse-riding, helicopter-flying American Hallmark Prince? No audition needed, you\u2019re hired!”<\/p>\n

The comment has gained over 5.5K likes from social media users.<\/p>\n

In the pantomime-inspired sketch on the show, Harry ultimately won the role<\/a> of the Christmas prince, much to the delight of the audience. Wednesday\u2019s visit was the Duke\u2019s second Late Show appearance, having last appeared in January 2023 to promote his memoir, Spare.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

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?”<\/p>\n

Harry replied: “Sorry, I genuinely thought this was the audition for The Gingerbread Prince Saves Christmas in a Basket…”<\/p>\n

Colbert replied: “You’re an actual prince, why would you want to be in one of those movies?”<\/p>\n

To which Harry added: “Well, you Americans are obsessed with Christmas movies, and you’re clearly obsessed with royalty, so why not?”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
