Harry appeared in a comedy sketch that aired on Wednesday night, playing himself as he auditions to become a Hallmark movie “Christmas prince” and also made jokes about US President Donald Trump. In the segment, the duke wandered through the studio, joking that he had become lost while searching for an audition for the “Gingerbread Christmas Prince saves Christmas in Nebraska”. Colbert asked why a real prince would want to star in such films, prompting Harry to reply: “You Americans are obsessed with Christmas movies, and you’re clearly obsessed with royalty, so why not?”

I hear you elected a king,” in an apparent reference to the “No Kings” protests directed at the Trump administration. Referencing CBS’s recent settlement with Mr Trump, the duke joked that he would “do anything” to get the part, adding:
“I’ll record a self-tape, I’ll fly myself to an audition, settle a baseless lawsuit with the White House – all the things you people in TV do.” Colbert replied: “Hey, I didn’t do any of those things,” to which Harry shot back: “Maybe that’s why you’re cancelled.”
