When he realizes that he's essentially "Home Alone," he indulges in some lighthearted activities. For instance, he practices his bowling skills using stacked cans of Coca-Cola and enjoys a plate of spaghetti with maple syrup, reminiscent of a scene from the holiday movie "Elf." Throughout these antics, the Downing Street's resident cat, Larry, keeps him company. However, the video takes a twist when the phone rings, and Sunak informs "Harry" that he's dialed the wrong number.
The ambiguity of this reference led to social media discussions about whether the "Harry" mentioned in the video was Prince Harry or Harry Cole, the Sun newspaper's political editor. Regardless, the video received widespread praise for its clever sense of humor, with some even comparing it to the movie "Love Actually," which features Hugh Grant as a British prime minister dancing in the empty halls of 10 Downing Street.
Social media was abuzz with debates over the intended target of Sunak's humorous jab, whether it was Prince Harry or the Sun newspaper's political editor. The term "wrong number Harry" trended, and many applauded Sunak for the wit displayed in the video. One fan praised the British PM's ability to humorously tease a prince publicly, while another from a different country expressed a desire to become British, appreciating the art of subtle humiliation.
Royal expert Neil Shaw revealed that Rishi Sunak's dig was indeed aimed at Prince Harry, stemming from an insult Harry had publicly issued against his government six months prior. This was seen as a form of payback for that incident. This humorous dig at Harry coincided with growing criticism of the Duke's perceived lack of substantial work since the start of 2023.
Commentator Daniela Elsa pointed out Harry's attendance at concerts, talk shows, and various leisure activities, while his official work hours appeared limited. Elsa referenced the Archewell financial impact report for the year, highlighting Harry's numerous leisure activities alongside behind-the-scenes work for the Archewell foundation. She humorously imagined their workdays involving rounds of affirmations, ice lattes, and an abundance of emails sent from their adjacent desks, painting a picture of their seemingly less hectic professional life.
