Harry Snubs Jack Whitehall’s Handshake Offer After Jokes About Royals

Newly discovered footage reveals that Prince Harry once declined Jack Whitehall's handshake offer following the comedian's jokes about the royal family.

Jack, known for his cheeky sense of humor, often includes unfiltered comedy routines even in the presence of royalty.

This incident occurred during the Royal Variety performance in 2015, where Jack was hosting the charity gala at London's Royal Albert Hall.

While Prince Harry was in the audience, Jack took the opportunity to roast him.

During his opening routine, Jack humorously touched on Harry's military service in Afghanistan and his red-headed complexion.

Although he assured the Prince that he wasn't belittling his achievements, Jack couldn't resist adding, “What you did in Afghanistan, the bravery, a ginger guy in that heat, wow.

The first time you get a Victoria Cross just for stepping out of the shade.”

The show took place before Harry started dating Meghan Markle, and Jack also joked about the Prince still being single.

In another segment, he offered to be Harry's royal wingman and promised to put in a good word with some of the night's acts, including Casey Musgraves and Little Mix.

The Royal Variety is an annual event that supports the Queen's Royal Variety Charity, providing care and assistance to individuals in the arts who are in need.

However, concerns have recently emerged within the palace regarding the impact of Prince Harry's upcoming memoir on Prince Charles, the future king.

Since Harry and Meghan announced their decision to step down from senior working roles in January 2020, the relationship between Prince Charles and Prince Harry has been strained.

During his candid interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year, Prince Harry revealed that his father had stopped taking his calls and cut him off financially.

Now, with the news of Harry's forthcoming memoir, speculations have arisen about the potential consequences it may have on the heir apparent.

Royal expert Richard Kaye expressed concerns about the book's impact on Prince Charles' reputation and the efforts made to improve public perception in recent years.

Appearing on the podcast Palace Confidential, Kaye explained, “I think the difficulty for Prince Charles, every time now Harry opens his mouth, he's seen to chip away at his father's credibility.

And this must be undermining their relationship.”

The memoir, set to be released in late 2022, has raised anxiety among insiders who speculate that Prince Harry may reveal details about the family member who made racist remarks about Archie's skin color.

While the focus remains uncertain, it is known that Harry has delved into his mother's relationship with his father, causing apprehension within the royal family.

With the Prince of Wales nearing his future role as monarch, these embarrassing situations involving his son serve as reminders of the challenges the public has had with the prospect of Charles becoming king.

The anticipation surrounding the publication of Harry's memoir adds further pressure to an already strained relationship between father and son.

As the release date approaches, the royal family awaits the impact it will have on their dynamics and public perception.
