Prince Harry mocks Trump with brutal joke
Prince Harry’s recent appearance on Stephen Colbert’s show took a sharp political turn. While participating in a lighthearted segment, Harry responded to a joke about America’s obsession with royalty with a pointed remark.
His quip, “Really? I heard you elected a king,” was a clear reference to former President Donald Trump. The audience’s immediate reaction of boos highlighted the ongoing sensitivity surrounding Trump in the U.S.
This comment escalates existing tensions between the prince and the former president. Trump has previously stated he would not offer Harry protection and has suggested the prince could face deportation over his visa application.
By making this joke, Harry, who is already estranged from the British royal family, appears willing to engage in a public feud with a potential future U.S. president. This move carries significant political risk for a figure living in the United States.
The moment transformed the interview from entertainment into pointed political theater. It underscores Harry’s complicated position as a royal exile navigating American public life and politics.
Whether seen as a brave act of honesty or a reckless provocation, his statement made a definitive stance clear. Prince Harry is not shying away from confrontation, even at the highest levels.
This incident marks a new chapter in his post-royal life, directly challenging a powerful political figure and openly entering the fraught American political landscape.
