No lie, Prince Harry has earned space here more than once, but his appearance on Stephen Colbert took the spectacle to a fresh low. The visit was framed as charming and funny. It landed as proof that the Spare is running on fumes.
Harry crashed Colbert’s monologue with the enthusiasm of a man who has not heard genuine applause since Netflix stopped returning Meghan’s calls. He strolled out, announcing he was auditioning for a Hallmark Christmas movie, which is apparently the natural career path when you give up royal duty and pick up California PR coaching. The Gingerbread Prince saves Christmas in Nebraska. Cute.
I am sorry, I don’t mean to be rude, but honestly, I do think Prince Harry is the Donkey of 2025! Meghan has damaged his reputation beyond repair, and nothing can restore it. What a clown pic.twitter.com/LS2fZuFPAA

Colbert teased Americans about being obsessed with royalty. Harry jumped at the setup like a toddler who finally got a turn on the playground slide. “Really? I heard you elected a king,” he declared. The audience immediately booed the idea of Trump, not Harry. And Harry soaked in the reaction like it was the first time anyone besides Meghan’s yoga circle validated him in years.
Prince Harry is a POS. How dare this a$$hole insult our President? This fvcking piece of trash.

This is the only room in America where the runaway prince can score a cheer. Of course he felt at home.
What makes the whole moment even richer is the timing. Just a few months ago, the United Kingdom rolled out the largest royal welcome in living memory for President Trump. Horses. Carriages. Troops. A state banquet. The kind of royal treatment Harry will never see again in his lifetime. And here he is on late-night TV trying to land a cute dig like it carries diplomatic weight. It does not. It is Montecito cosplay.
Twice Harry has appeared with Colbert on his show. A ‘entertainer’ who thought nothing of mocking the Princess of Wales when he jumped on the ‘where’s Kate’ campaign whilst she was going through cancer and he also joked about the fake affair with Prince William and Rose Hanbury,… pic.twitter.com/rj6sWDOWUg

Harry kept performing, and not in the rugged, polo-playing, cheeky-party-boy way he used to. Remember that Harry? The one who showed up to war zones instead of auditions? The one who had some backbone before California steamed it out of him? That Harry vanished the moment he married Meghan. Now we have the Hollywood Prince, permanently stuck in performance mode.
The Spare teased Americans. He leaned into the acting bit like it was his big break. Mr. Montecito even tossed out a line about CBS settling with Trump. Colbert corrected him, and Harry smirked and snapped, “Maybe that is why you are canceled.” It was supposed to sound sharp. Instead, it felt like something he cooked up between mood-board meetings with Meghan about their next brand reinvention.
Harry’s whole energy now is a man who traded duty for a content schedule. The strong, independent prince is gone. The wild redhead who once lived life on his own terms has been replaced by someone who treats late-night applause like oxygen. Marriage can change a man. In Harry’s case, it didn’t elevate him. It shrank him.
And honestly, at this point, it feels like we owe the United Kingdom an apology for Meghan. They sent us a spare prince with charm and a little grit left in him. We now have a man who needs studio lights to feel relevant. Britain lost a soldier. America ended up with a lifestyle accessory that comes with a title. The exchange rate has never been worse.
Harry is not a threat. He is not even an annoyance. He is background noise with a title. Let him run around America collecting claps from the only rooms that will still give them. The rest of the country has chores to do.
If Harry wants to reinvent himself as a Hollywood ornament, fine. The liberal base awaits him, open arms and studio lights at the ready.

Skillyboo says: Could have lived a great life if he just stayed in his lane but then he meets, God how do you describe her, a 3rd rate actress and sinking. She is one who could not accept that she caught the proverbial brass ring and lived her life as an A list celebrity without having actually accomplishing anything.
rbj1 says: Didn’t he lie on his visa application regarding drug use? And the Titles of Nobility Amendment is still out there, waiting to get ratified. IF Meghan wants to be called a Duchess, she should surrender her American passport. And voting ID.
