Prince Harry’s reputation seems to be taking a hit as he becomes the punchline for jokes in Hollywood.
At the recent Golden Globes, comedian Jo Coy took a jab at the prince during his monologue, saying that Prince Harry had called Imelda Staunton, who portrayed the Queen in “The Crown,” asking for money.
Another joke targeted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s lucrative deal with Netflix, suggesting they get paid millions for doing nothing.
Not to be outdone, Chelsea Handler, who happened to be Joe Coy’s ex-boyfriend, seized the opportunity to mock him at the Critics’ Choice Awards.
She cleverly responded to the comedian’s joke about tossing Martin Scorsese around like a meatball by thanking her writers for the punchline.
The audience erupted in laughter and applause, indicating that Prince Harry’s name has indeed become a subject of mockery.
This is not the first time Prince Harry has been on the receiving end of jokes.
In 2023, Chelsea Handler mocked him during the Critics’ Choice Awards, making fun of the press coverage surrounding his memoir and the revelation about his frostbitten p-nis.
It seems that Prince Harry’s personal life has become fair game for comedians and entertainers.
However, it’s not just the jokes that are affecting Prince Harry’s reputation.
Recently, he and Meghan Markle have faced criticism for expecting people to take them seriously without putting in the work.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams highlighted this issue, noting that their contracts, particularly with Netflix, could be jeopardized if they don’t start producing content soon.
Fitzwilliams pointed out that Prince Harry’s influence is waning, and people are starting to laugh at him because he hasn’t achieved much beyond the Invictus Games.
He emphasized that simply trashing his family and relying on controversial stories may not be enough to maintain credibility.
It seems that Prince Harry’s attempts to establish himself as a serious figure in the entertainment industry are falling short.
The jokes at prestigious events like the Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Awards only add to the perception that he is becoming a mean joke for the rest of the world.
As the scrutiny continues, Prince Harry will need to find a way to regain respect and prove his worth beyond his royal connections.
