Prince Harry brutally savaged by Fox News hosts | TV Shows

Prince Harry has confronted extreme criticism on American tv following a joke about Donald Trump in a comedy sketch that despatched conservative commentators into a frenzy.

The Duke of Sussex participated in a vacation spoof with Stephen Colbert, but a quip about Americans “electing a king” ignited a heated backlash among Fox News pundits.

Hosts and contributors joined the fray, accusing Harry of undermining the Royal Family and meddling in American politics just months after King Charles’s profitable assembly with President Trump.

Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum led the onslaught, lambasting Harry for getting concerned in another political controversy. She questioned: “Why is he poking a hole in that very successful meeting between King Charles and President Trump? It also steps on all the Christmas events that the royal family is doing right now, it’s so petty.

“They love to like shoot across each other’s PR and squash each other out, and it is like, do not you might have enough? Don’t you might have enough? I believed you wished a quiet life in California?”

She went on to say that Americans have grown weary of the prince commenting on domestic US matters: “I actually suppose that general when Harry criticises American politics it just rubs Americans the unsuitable approach.

“It’s kind of like inviting someone over, and they walk into your house and criticise your décor. It’s just not your place.”

The controversy erupted following Harry’s look alongside Colbert on The Late Show, where he performed up being disoriented while supposedly trying for a casting call for a Hallmark-esque vacation movie called Gingerbread Christmas Prince Saves Christmas in Nebraska.

When Colbert questioned why an precise prince would even need to check out for a half, Harry quipped that Americans have been “obsessed” with vacation films and the monarchy.

Colbert challenged him, prompting the Duke to reply: “Really? I hear you elected a king,” a comment many took as a dig at Trump and a reference to the “No Kings” demonstrations that had taken place across American cities earlier that yr.

Harry then took intention at CBS’s latest legal settlement with Trump, telling Colbert he would “do anything” to land the half. He quipped: “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.”

When Colbert countered that he’d finished none of those issues, Harry retorted: “Maybe that’s why you’re cancelled.”

The sketch concluded with the festive sounds of sleigh bells, Christmas trees, and Colbert bestowing upon Harry the title of the show’s “official Late Show prince of Christmas.”
