The Daily Show host, who has hosted the Grammys for the past four years, previously made jests at the couple's expense in 2023 after Prince Harry's sketch memoir was published. The jokes revolved around a story in the book where Prince Harry claimed to have suffered genital frostbite during a 2011 trip to the North Pole. Rather than attending the Grammys, the Sussexes seemed to prefer a quiet evening at home with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lily Beth. Trevor Noah, who was also a guest on Meghan's Spotify podcast, discussed his upbringing and the lessons his mother, Patricia, imparted to him.
In the podcast interview, Trevor delved into themes like gender roles and power dynamics in relationships. He recalled his mother emphasizing that being the head of a family, as a man, doesn't automatically entitle one to financial support or success. Trevor's podcast interview garnered attention when he criticized Prince Charles and condemned colonialism on The Daily Show, expressing a nuanced perspective on royalty and its impact. Despite the humor and critiques, the Sussexes chose to forgo this year's Grammy Awards, possibly to avoid any potential spotlight on them during the event.
