Prince Harry recently made headlines with his appearance on a popular TV show, where he humorously joked about former President Donald Trump. This marked his second visit to “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” following his first in January 2023.
Behind the Scenes of Prince Harry’s Appearance
The anticipation for Harry’s appearance was built through a creative teaser video. In the clip, he used a viral audio snippet from “The Great British Bake Off.” Sitting in Colbert’s guest chair, Harry posed an amusing question to the host: “If you were treated like a king for a day, what would you want me to do for you?”
Colbert, maintaining the playful banter, humorously responded with, “Bake for me probably?” This exchange led to a light-hearted mix-up where Colbert had to clarify that he meant “bake,” not “beg.” This moment added a comedic touch to their interaction, showcasing Harry’s charm and playful spirit.
Highlights of the Episode
- Co-Host Dynamics: The interaction was reminiscent of Co-host Alison Hammond’s style, central to “The Great British Bake Off.”
- Special Guests: The episode also featured Academy Award nominee Michael Shannon and Irish actress Jessie Buckley.
- Audience Impact: Harry’s first appearance on the show broke viewership records, solidifying the show’s popularity.
The Duchess of Sussex supported the appearance by sharing a preview clip on her Instagram Story, emphasizing the couple’s close partnership. Since stepping back as working royals in January 2020, Harry and Meghan Markle have focused on building their life in Montecito, California, away from the royal spotlight.
Reflections on Royal Life
During his January 2023 visit, Harry discussed the Netflix series “The Crown,” revealing he fact-checks the show as he watches it. Colbert playfully asked him if he verifies the accuracy of the series. Harry quipped back with a laugh, “Yes, I do actually,” showcasing his humorous take on royal dramatizations.
Citing these moments, the Prince continues to garner public interest, maintaining his connection with audiences while embracing his new life outside the monarchy.
