During an appearance on the late-night talk show in the US, Prince Harry was playfully mocked by host Stephen Colbert as “Lord of the Gingers.”
The audience chuckled as Colbert mentioned that he would be interviewing Prince Harry in just a few minutes.
Later in the interview, Colbert asked Harry what he preferred to be called.
Harry, who is 38 years old, replied, “Call me whatever you want at this point.”
Colbert jokingly responded, “In the book, I find you’ve got a lot of different names.
Your birth name is Henry, your father and brother call you Harold, some people call you H, and your friends call you ‘Has.’
What is ‘Has’?
Is that short for hazardous?”
Harry retorted, “My wife calls me ‘Has,’ so you can’t call me ‘Has.’
Harry, ‘Has Baz,’ ‘Has a spike,’ ‘Bazaruni’ – it’s all there.”
Harry has faced criticism for his tell-all biography, which has become the fastest-selling non-fiction book in the United Kingdom.
In a one-minute teaser ahead of the interview, Stephen Colbert previewed Harry’s appearance on his show by poking fun at his “Harry Ness.”
Colbert mentioned that he had read the book and found it enjoyable, emotional, and revealing, adding that he would have a lot to talk about regarding Harry’s experiences.
Colbert then played a clip from Harry’s previous interview with Anderson Cooper on “60 Minutes,” where Harry discussed a high school memory involving his older brother, Prince William.
In the clip, Harry revealed that he was hurt when William told him they couldn’t hang out together at school.
Colbert described this as something straight out of the older brother sibling playbook, saying, “Well, that’s heartbreaking.
I mean, to be rejected by his older brother at school, even though that magic hat sorted them into the same house.”
He made a reference to the Hogwarts sorting hat from the Harry Potter series, asking, “What do you think?
Hufflepuff?
Gryffindor?”
In the aftermath of the release of Prince Harry’s controversial memoir, Americans have urged him and Meghan to return to the UK.
Kinsey Schofield, from the “To Die For” daily podcast, discussed the fallout of the memoir on GB News.
She expressed her belief that many Americans want the couple to move back to the UK and issue an apology.
Schofield stated, “I’m going to tell you something you don’t want to hear in the States.
The conversation is that Harry and Meghan need to apologize and they need to move back to the UK.
That’s what we’re saying here in America, that they need to move back.
I know that’s the last thing that the Brits want, though.
We realize that the only thing interesting about them is their relatives.
They’re not interesting people, they’re not exciting people.
There’s nothing there.”
She continued by suggesting that they should be closer to the British royal family and learn from them, emphasizing that less is more.
A recent poll conducted by Redfield Strategies revealed a significant decline in the couple’s approval ratings following the release of the book and their accompanying TV interviews.
