Prince Harry Faces International Ridicule Over Revealing Private Details in New Book

Late-night host Jimmy Fallon took a jab at Prince Harry, claiming that the Duke of Sussex is at risk of becoming an international laughingstock due to his recent revelations about his private life and his upcoming book, Spare.

Fallon's comments came after Harry's interview with Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes aired on Sunday.

The prince has been actively promoting his memoir, sitting down for interviews with Cooper as well as an extended conversation with Tom Bradby on British Network ITV.

During these interviews, Prince Harry continued to criticize the British royal family, building upon his previous remarks in a 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey and in the recent docu-series on Netflix, Harry and Meghan, which he co-produced with his wife, Meghan Markle.

Fallon seized the opportunity to poke fun at the couple's penchant for public disclosures during the opening monologue of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday.

Fallon humorously mentioned Prince Harry's interview with Anderson Cooper, highlighting the contrast between Harry's ginger hair and Cooper's distinct white hair.

He also drew a parallel to the popular book series A Song of Fire and Ice by George R.R.

Martin, which serves as the basis for the HBO series Game of Thrones.

Fallon jokingly suggested that Harry and Meghan's story could be heard in the 60-minute interview, in case anyone had missed their two-hour sit-down interview with Oprah or their appearance in the six-part Netflix documentary.

The mention of Meghan Markle's desire to appear on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon added another layer of amusement to Fallon's monologue.

In November, fans of Meghan Markle were left confused when NBC initially announced that she would be appearing on the show on December 7th.

However, the announcement was later retracted, with NBC admitting to a mistake.

Omid Scobie, a renowned royal commentator, took to Twitter to deny the claim, expressing his frustration with NBC's miscommunication.

NBC's blunder is not the first time Meghan's appearance on The Tonight Show has been canceled.

Earlier this year, she was scheduled to appear on September 20th but canceled on September 8th following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

The cancellation coincided with the day the Sussexes were planning to attend the UN General Assembly in Manhattan.

The ridicule directed at Meghan Markle is not limited to recent events.

During a 2018 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, actor Paul Bettany jokingly referred to Meghan as a “sleeper agent” for the US government, playfully connecting her father, Thomas Markle, to conspiracy theories.

Fallon joins a list of media personalities in the US who have made jokes at Prince Harry's expense.

Last week, Jimmy Kimmel recreated the alleged fight between Harry and his brother, Prince William, in a sketch titled Two Princes, with the brothers dressed up as the singer Prince.

Prince Harry's public persona continues to be a subject of fascination and amusement, with his candidness and controversial statements attracting both praise and ridicule.

As he prepares to release his memoir, Spare, the international response to his revelations remains to be seen.
