‘Really?!?’: Prince Harry Royally Roasts Trump In Surprise Cameo With Colbert | EUROtoday

Prince Harry spoof-crashed Wednesday’s broadcast of “The Late Show” and dinged Donald Trump over his obvious monarchical aspirations.

Host Stephen Colbert was mid-monologue, joking about how Christmas films give folks unrealistic hope of bumping into royalty over the vacations, when Harry all of a sudden wandered onstage (for a spoof skit) through which he introduced he thought he was auditioning for a festive Hallmark TV film.

Colbert requested the Duke of Sussex why he needed the gig.

“Well, you Americans are obsessed with Christmas movies and you’re clearly obsessed with royalty, so why not?” Harry replied.

Colbert pushed again to say he doesn’t suppose Americans are obsessive about the monarchy.

Harry zinged Trump, replying: “Really?!? I heard you ‘elected’ a king.”

Members of the viewers appeared to gasp after which erupted in boos for Trump, and Colbert admitted, “Fair point.”

Harry, who has drawn Trump’s ire a number of instances, continued to lean into the bit, saying he’d “do anything” to land a Hallmark position.

“I’ll record a self-tape, I’ll fly myself to an audition,” he mentioned, earlier than taking one other jab at Trump and the businesses which have kowtowed to him: “I’ll settle a baseless lawsuit with the White House — all the things you people on TV do.”

“Hey, hey, hey … I didn’t do any of those things,” Colbert protested.

Harry deadpanned: “Maybe that’s why you’re canceled.”

The joke referenced CBS’s determination this summer time to finish “The Late Show” in May 2026, a transfer the community referred to as “purely a financial decision” and mentioned was unrelated to Colbert’s content material or efficiency.

Still, the cancellation raised eyebrows as a result of it got here shortly after Paramount Global reached a authorized settlement with Trump and was looking for White House approval for its merger with Skydance Media.
