PRINCE HARRY TRIES HIS HAND AT STAND-UP COMEDY
As part of a recorded monologue for the 17th annual Stand Up for Heroes event held on Monday, Prince Harry addressed viewers, even cracking a few jokes at his own expense. Stand Up for Heroes is hosted annually by the Bob Woodruff Foundation in partnership with the New York Comedy Festival. The event celebrates British veterans, The Telegraph reports.
“Hello, New York,” he began his speech. “Obviously I was deeply honoured when Bob asked me to debut my stand-up act with you all tonight.”
“Due to the shockingly low representation of gingers last year, and out of respect for my fellow endangered species, here I am, reporting for duty,” he said.
“As someone who never gets scrutinised, I haven’t even had to prepare much,” he joked. The broadcast was filmed in his garden in Montecito, California.
“But out of an abundance of caution, I have been working on this particular act for quite some time, and everyone I know tells me it’s perfect. And no, these aren’t people who just tell me what I want to hear; these are people like my finance manager, my lawyer, and, of course, my reiki healer.”

HE’S NOT AFRAID OF HUMOUR
Over the years, the Duke has been known to poke fun at himself. In the Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, he joked about meeting Meghan, saying that the royal family “didn’t think a ginger could land such a beautiful woman.”
And then there was his memoir, where he described the “ginger gene” as a “strong one.” He went on to elaborate on his connection with Ginger Spice from the British girl group, the Spice Girls.
He even had hopes of presenting the US late-night comedy show Saturday Night Live. Discussions, however, fell flat at the last minute, The Mercury News reports.
