In an unexpected turn of events, Prince Harry graced the stage of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and entertained audiences with a mix of humor and self-deprecation that could only be described as both cringe-worthy and endearing.
Dressed to impress, Harry was welcomed with a lively standing ovation, but as he proceeded with his Pantomime-style antics, playful boos echoed from the audience, which only added to the spirited atmosphere of the evening.
As Harry began his performance, he made a bold statement, suggesting that the United States seems to have a fascination with monarchy.
This prompted him to throw shade at none other than former President Donald Trump.
With a cheeky grin, he said the country had, in effect, “elected a king,” leading to those lighthearted theatrical boos from the audience, who had previously been all smiles and cheers for his entrance.
The prince didn’t just rib the former president; he also made a nod to his own literary venture, his memoir Spare, sharing his reflections on the book’s impact and his thoughts surrounding it.
Interestingly, he also admitted to having followed the much-discussed series The Crown on Netflix, revealing a duality in his relationship with his own narrative.
Harry teamed up with Colbert for a delightfully kitschy sketch fashioned after a Hallmark holiday movie.
In this playful moment, he humorously pondered what it takes to land a role in one of those feel-good films, quipping, “What’s a prince got to do to get into a Hallmark movie these days?” He teased the audience with his impressive skills, claiming he could ride a horse and even fly one in a helicopter.
Colbert, quick on his feet, referenced Meghan Markle‘s previous career in acting.
With a glint of mischief in his eye, he asked Harry if he had any connections to the acting world.
“I might know one,” the prince replied with faux seriousness, demonstrating his good-natured willingness to jump into the festive film game, even joking that he’d go to great lengths like settling legal issues to secure a role.
The banter continued, with Harry poking fun at the behind-the-scenes drama that often plagues the entertainment industry.
“I’ll do anything!” he exclaimed, as he made light of his supposed commitment to securing an audition.
With a wink, he claimed he’d even fly himself out to a casting call, showcasing his amusing yet earnest side.
The repartee took an even more hilarious twist when the pair discussed the $36 million settlement between Colbert’s network and the President concerning an edited interview.
“Maybe that’s why you were cancelled,”
