Prince Harry Makes Surprise Late Show Cameo, Needles Trump and CBS

The unannounced sketch mixed self‑parody with pointed jabs, drawing both ovations and boos.

Overview

  • Appearing unexpectedly behind Stephen Colbert, Harry played an audition bit for a tongue‑in‑cheek “gingerbread prince” role in a Christmas spoof.
  • He referenced nationwide “No Kings” protests and quipped that the U.S. had “chosen a king,” a line that drew boos from parts of the studio audience.
  • Harry criticized CBS over a legal dispute with President Donald Trump that he called groundless.
  • Coverage circulating claims of a $16 million CBS–Trump settlement and possible changes to Colbert’s show, though those details remain thinly sourced and unconfirmed in the reports.
  • Social media and British outlets offered split reactions, with some praising his comedic turn and others calling the appearance embarrassing.
