Christmas movie fun dominated Wednesday night when the Duke of Sussex surprised audiences on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Harry joined the show to perform a playful sketch that poked fun at cheesy holiday films. The segment included humorous jabs at American culture.
In the sketch, the duke auditioned for a Hallmark-style “Christmas prince.” He wandered through the studio, joking that he had lost his way. The fictional film was titled “Gingerbread Christmas Prince Saves Christmas in Nebraska.” Harry’s antics drew laughs from both Colbert and the audience.
Colbert asked why a real prince would want such roles. Harry responded with a grin, saying Americans love Christmas movies and clearly adore royalty. He added, “So why not?” and the audience reacted with laughter.
When Colbert questioned the supposed obsession, Harry quipped, “Really? I hear you elected a king.” The duke referenced recent political controversies in a cheeky tone. He continued joking about doing anything to get the role, including recording self-tapes, flying to auditions, and even settling a White House lawsuit.
Colbert replied that he had done none of those things. Harry shot back, “Maybe that’s why you’re cancelled.” Later, the sketch turned festive with Christmas trees, twinkling lights, and sleigh bells. Harry encouraged the audience to “just believe,” keeping the holiday cheer alive.
By the end, Colbert declared Harry the “official Late Show prince of Christmas,” which earned loud cheers from the crowd. This was the prince’s second TV moment that day. Earlier, his wife Meghan Markle released her Netflix special, With Love, Meghan.
Fans praised Harry’s charm and comedic timing. Many noted the sketch mixed holiday silliness with clever satire. His playful appearance showed he can connect with viewers in both the US and UK.
Overall, the segment provided laughter, seasonal cheer, and subtle commentary. It reminded viewers why Christmas movie fun continues to delight audiences worldwide.
