Overview
- Prince Harry made an unannounced appearance on The Late Show at New York’s Ed Sullivan Theater on December 3.
- During a Hallmark-style bit, he delivered the line “I heard you elected a king,” directly referencing President Donald Trump.
- He joked about settling a “baseless lawsuit” with the White House, a quip widely read as a nod to the $16 million CBS settlement with Trump reported in July.
- Reports described a mixed studio response that included laughter and some boos when Trump was referenced.
- The segment framed Harry as a would-be holiday movie lead, blending light comedy with pointed political jabs.
