Prince Harry
Royal Dig at Trump on ‘Late Present’
Printed
The Late Present with Stephen Colbert
Prince Harry wasn’t afraid to return for the “King” throughout his look on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” … taking a couple of swipes at Donald Trump that sparked a blended response from the gang.
The Duke of Sussex shocked followers Wednesday, coming out throughout Colbert‘s monologue to a standing ovation. Colbert had been riffing on “problematic” Christmas TV motion pictures and the fantasy of bumping right into a prince at work.
Enter Prince Harry … who jokes he desires to star in these movies as a result of People are “obsessed” with Christmas motion pictures — and royalty.
Colbert pushes again, saying, “I wouldn’t say we’re obsessed with Royalty,” however Harry shoots again, “Really? I heard you elected a king.”
The quip triggered audible gasps — and some boos — however Colbert shortly stepped in to again him up.
You will recall … in February, Trump referred to himself as a king in a Fact Social publish about NYC congestion pricing — in the end resulting in the “No Kings” protests nationwide.
The bit saved rolling … with Harry saying he’ll do something to get right into a Hallmark film, saying, “I’ll record a self-tape, I’ll fly myself to an audition, settle a baseless lawsuit with the White House. All the things you people on TV do.”
Colbert replies he is by no means carried out any of that … and Harry quips “Maybe that’s why you’re canceled” — a transparent reference to CBS’ $16M settlement with Trump that Colbert closely criticized, which was adopted by CBS pulling Colbert’s plug. The community claimed the cancellation was over monetary causes, BTW … one thing Colbert known as BS.
We reached out to the White Home … up to now, no phrase again.
