Prince Harry has had a hectic week exploring the world of television, mirroring his wife Meghan Markle’s recent ventures. A fan present during his viral comedy sketch on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert shared her firsthand experience of witnessing the event.

The Duke of Sussex surprised viewers with a cameo appearance on the show, participating in a humorous skit where he humorously auditioned for the role of the “Christmas prince” in a Hallmark movie. When questioned by Colbert about why a real prince would seek such a role, Harry jokingly responded by teasing Americans’ fascination with Christmas movies and royalty.

During the show, Harry playfully bantered with Colbert, making a witty remark about Americans’ alleged obsession with the monarchy by referencing the “No Kings” protests. Additionally, he humorously mentioned CBS’ recent lawsuit settlement with the White House, showcasing his willingness to go to great lengths to secure the Christmas film role.

The exchange between Harry and Colbert, especially the jokes aimed at Trump, garnered significant attention on social media. One audience member, Cathy, who witnessed the skit live, shared her excitement and praised Harry’s acting skills. Despite some criticism suggesting Harry should be stripped of his titles, others appreciated his candid humor.

Harry’s comedic jabs at Trump came shortly after the US leader’s amicable visit to the UK, where positive remarks were exchanged between Trump, King Charles, and the British monarchy. Some commentators believe that Harry’s outspoken nature, although reflective of his personal views as a private citizen, still carries weight due to his royal status in the eyes of the public.
