In a recent episode of *Late Night with Seth Meyers*, the comedy world collided with royal intrigue in a celebrity-filled roast aimed at none other than Prince Harry. Featuring comedic legends Will Ferrell and Harper Steele, the night was packed with biting humor, light-hearted banter, and plenty of royal references, leaving the audience in stitches.
Seth Meyers set the tone by teasing the crowd, promising a night of roasting a prince, which immediately heightened anticipation. Ferrell, known for his larger-than-life characters, kicked off the segment with a hilarious impersonation of Prince Harry. In his exaggerated British accent, Ferrell quipped about Harry’s royal exit, humorously asking, “Do you still get an allowance from the Queen, or did they cut you off after that Netflix deal?” His take on Harry’s post-royal life, filled with exaggerated regal attitudes and biting commentary, set the audience into fits of laughter.
Harper Steele followed with her own sharp jabs, poking fun at Harry’s transition from royal duties to modern-day ventures. “Prince Harry, you’ve traded your crown for a podcast and a stack of self-help books,” Steele joked, adding humor to Harry’s new life in the public eye. With impeccable timing, she continued, “Honestly, your toughest decision now is probably whether to fly private or commercial to your next mindfulness getaway in California.”
As the jokes kept rolling, the dynamic duo tackled themes of money and fame, with Ferrell wondering about Harry’s finances post-Netflix. “Speaking of that Netflix deal, Harry, how much are you really making? Should I launch a GoFundMe for my next movie?” The crowd loved it, and Steele chimed in, mocking the sheer number of memoirs Harry has written: “You’ve written more memoirs than you’ve done royal duties at this point.”
Seth Meyers added a reflective note, commenting on how royalty today isn’t just about lineage but also brand management, further poking fun at Harry’s shift from prince to influencer. Ferrell playfully jabbed, “Sure, you’ve got the followers, Harry, but do you still have that royal touch? Because that’s what people are really after.” Meghan Markle wasn’t left out either, as Ferrell remarked, “I bet Meghan’s sitting at home sipping tea, wondering how she went from Hollywood actress to Duchess to podcast host.”
Though the roast was filled with humor, it also touched on more serious themes, such as the challenges Harry and Meghan have faced under public scrutiny. Meyers took a moment to acknowledge the pressures of fame, noting that “it’s not easy being in the spotlight when everyone has an opinion.” Ferrell agreed, reminding the audience that behind the jokes, Harry and Meghan are “human too, trying to find something real.”
The evening wrapped up with Ferrell and Steele joking about Harry’s future prospects, teasing that reality TV might be his next career move. “Just make sure to keep it royal,” Ferrell quipped, as laughter once again filled the room. Meyers closed the segment with a thoughtful reflection on the absurdity of celebrity life, saying, “Whether you’re royalty or just a regular person, we all share the desire to be ourselves, even if that means giving up a crown.”
The roast wasn’t just about poking fun at Prince Harry—it was a clever commentary on the evolving role of royalty, celebrity culture, and the human desire for authenticity. Fans hailed Ferrell and Steele’s performances as a brilliant mix of humor and depth, sparking conversations about the intersection of fame, identity, and the modern monarchy. By the time the credits rolled, viewers were not only entertained but also left with plenty to think about regarding the challenges even the most famous people face in today’s world.
