Prince Harry has caused a stir among royal fans after his appearance on The Late Show was cut short, leaving disappointed audience members fuming.
The CBS talk show, which usually features a live audience, made the decision to exclude them for security reasons, much to the dismay of those who had traveled from far and wide to see the Duke of Sussex.
One disgruntled fan exclaimed, “Are you serious?”
as host Stephen Colbert apologized for the last-minute change.
The unexpected turn of events left many questioning the need for such heightened security measures.
“Who’s trying to kill Harry?”
one audience member questioned, expressing surprise at the situation.
Another frustrated attendee vented their frustration, loudly proclaiming, “Fuck Prince Harry” as they exited the show.
The discontent among the crowd was palpable, with one woman asking, “Who needs Prince Harry anyway?
They’re just creating their own drama now for the sake of it.”
Contrary to the original plan, Harry had actually pre-recorded his appearance on Monday due to fears of being booed if the audience knew he was the guest.
The episode, which aired on Tuesday, saw the prince making shocking revelations about his royal life while seemingly mocking the monarchy.
The show began with Harry being greeted by trumpet heralds in regal uniforms as he walked along a red carpet.
However, he quickly intervened, requesting that the fanfare be stopped, stating, “Not needed but thank you, I appreciate it.”
Host Stephen Colbert, confused by Harry’s comment, clarified that the fanfare was not intended for him but for another guest, Tom Hanks.
The skit did not sit well with royal fans, who took to social media to express their disappointment with Harry’s participation.
Many accused him of mocking the monarchy, labeling his actions as “ridiculous,” “embarrassing,” and “unnecessary.”
Some even questioned how Harry would feel if their own cultural traditions were mocked.
The backlash continued as fans criticized Colbert for his seemingly timid demeanor during the interview, likening his approach to that of speaking with a young girl.
However, the most surprising moment of the interview came when Harry claimed that his upcoming book would focus on reducing veteran suicide.
He vehemently denied accusations of boasting about killing 25 Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, accusing his critics of spreading lies that endangered his family.
“I think one of the most dangerous lies that they’ve told is that I somehow boasted about the number of people I’ve killed,” Harry asserted.
He emphasized that his words were not dangerous but rather the spin put on them by others, which posed a threat to his loved ones.
Harry’s appearance on The Late Show has certainly stirred controversy and left many questioning the motives behind his actions.
While some royal fans express disappointment and frustration, others are curious to see what revelations his upcoming book will bring.
As the Duke of Sussex continues to navigate his post-royal life, it seems that public opinion remains divided.
