Harry, AKA Lord of the Gingers: Insights from Stephen Colbert’s Late Show

During a recent appearance on the late show hosted by Stephen Colbert in the US, Prince Harry, also known as the Duke of Sussex, found himself at the center of some light-hearted banter.

As the talk show host introduced Harry to the audience, he playfully dubbed him “Lord of the Gingers,” eliciting chuckles from the crowd.

Colbert, known for his wit and charm, engaged Harry in a jovial exchange, asking him how he preferred to be addressed.

In response, the 38-year-old royal quipped, “Call me whatever you want at this point.”

Colbert then proceeded to list the various monikers Harry goes by, including Henry, Harold (as called by his father and brother), and even “H” or “Has.”

Harry amusingly explained that his wife refers to him as “Has,” leading to a playful back-and-forth about his different nicknames.

The Duke of Sussex has recently made headlines for his candidness, particularly with the release of his tell-all biography, which quickly became the fastest-selling non-fiction book in the United Kingdom.

Ahead of his interview with Colbert, a teaser was shared where the host humorously teased Harry's appearance, poking fun at his “Harry Ness” and expressing excitement about discussing the revelations from the book.

Colbert, having read Harry's book and found it both enjoyable and emotional, previewed a clip from the royal's previous interview with Anderson Cooper.

In the clip, Harry recounted a poignant childhood memory involving his older brother, Prince William, expressing hurt over being rejected by William during their school days.

Colbert empathized with Harry, likening the situation to a classic tale of sibling dynamics, remarking on the emotional impact of such experiences.

The conversation around Harry and his wife Meghan Markle has been a topic of debate, with some urging the couple to return to the UK following the release of Harry's memoir.

Kinsey Schofield, a guest on GB News and host of the To Die For daily podcast, shared her perspective on the matter.

She noted that there is a sentiment in America calling for the couple to apologize and relocate to the UK, emphasizing the importance of their connection to the British royal family.

Schofield highlighted a shift in public perception towards Harry and Meghan, citing a poll that indicated a decline in their approval ratings post-book release and subsequent interviews.

The data revealed a significant drop in Harry's approval rating from 38 to minus 7, and Meghan's from 23 to minus 13, reflecting a growing dissatisfaction among the public.

This downturn in approval has been attributed to what some perceive as oversharing and a departure from the couple's initial appeal based on their ties to the royal family.
