Prince Harry took a public pounding like no other on *The Seth Meyers Show* last night when comedians Will Ferrell and Kate McKinnon absolutely unloaded on him. Harry thought he was just swinging by the late-night program to promote his new eco-travel startup, or whatever, but little did he know Seth had assembled an all-star roasting panel to skewer him mercilessly. Leading the charge were none other than comedy legends Will Ferrell and SNL’s Kate McKinnon, who debuted her epic new Harry impression.
But no one—and I mean no one—was ready for Ferrell to rip into Harry with a relentless 10-minute set that had the audience howling with laughter through their tears. Topics ranged from Meghan to polo injuries, and of course, those infamous nude Vegas photos. Ferrell picked apart Harry's every move with the hilarious panache only he can deliver. Some of the zingers included, “I see Harry finally stopped crying into his organic oat milk long enough to leave Cali,” and, “The only place this guy’s fit to rule is a Renaissance fair.”
Even Kate McKinnon admitted later she was stunned by the sheer savagery on display. Poor Harry started sweating bullets about two minutes in, desperately laughing along through the pain. Then it was Kate’s turn to destroy, delivering a spot-on Meghan Markle impression, declaring, “I’m sorry your feelings are hurt, Habibi, but as my financial adviser always says, it’s not personal—it’s fabulous!” The crowd roared with laughter, and she blew Harry an air kiss. You just know Meghan and Kate have been bonding over their comedic talents backstage at SNL for years now.
The roast’s funniest bits that broke the internet overnight included Will insisting Harry’s new startup should be called “Eco Trails by Dumbass,” and Kate decreeing that Oprah was already regretting doing that tell-all interview because, “Even she couldn’t fix the mess you made, you ginger fool.” Savage, but so true, am I right?
Even Seth got in on the action with zingers like, “The only crown Harry’s worn lately is a beer helmet,” and proposing that Harry and Meghan relocate somewhere more appropriate, like “Fyre Festival 2: This Time It’s Lit.” It was non-stop gut-busting jabs that left zero room for Harry to clap back.
And ladies and gents, the part we’ve all been waiting for—when Will delivered the epic climax of his set by exclaiming, “I apologize, I didn’t mean to imply you were weak or frightened. After all, you volunteered for the British Army several times... and you even made it through deployment to Vegas! What a hero.” The studio completely lost it as a mortified Harry crumpled further into his chair, attempting weak applause through the secondhand embarrassment. You just know that one’s going to haunt his nightmares forever.
Even his PR person was spotted FaceTiming Meghan with both hands over her face, begging for extraction. Truly a legendary dragging for the ages. Afterward, when the cameras cut, sources claim Harry unleashed an actual scream heard around 30 Rock while frantically waving for his car. Sprints were had. Even Kate and Seth looked a tad guilty at how hard they went in, though Ferrell maintained it was all in good fun. Clearly, no love lost between the comic titans and the disgraced prince.
Online, the internet exploded with memes of a distraught Harry and praise for Will and Kate’s elite-tier roasting skills. Comments ranged from, “The only crown he’ll wear from now on is the clown crown,” to, “That was harsher than a British breakfast.” Even Piers Morgan tweeted, “Well, if Harry wants to dish it out, he better learn to take it!”
So in the end, while Harry thought he was just doing a friendly chat, he instead got the full Comedy Central treatment—and then some. All I can say is, you come at the king, you best not miss. Guess even ex-royals underestimate how much joy people find in seeing them taken down a few pegs. No subject is off-limits when legends like Ferrell are on a mission. Harry may try to laugh it off now, but I have no doubt he’s still cringing from New York to Neverland.
