Prince Harry surprised fans with several lighthearted stories during a new podcast interview. The Duke of Sussex talked about his favorite TV show, school days and life outside the royal family. He also teased his iconic red hair and revealed some random facts about himself. The interview provided listeners with fresh insight into the royal life beyond the headlines.
The Duke of Sussex opened up about everything from reality TV to life beyond the monarchy
Prince Harry appeared on The Joe Marler Will See You Now podcast and opened up about life in California with Meghan Markle and their two children after stepping back as senior working royals. The couple now lives in Montecito and supports themselves financially. During the Duke of Sussex podcast conversation, Harry surprised the hosts by admitting he has watched Love Island. He soon joked there is a “big difference” between watching it once and being a regular watcher.
Harry never revealed which season he watched, although his rumored former girlfriend Camilla Thurlow appeared on the ITV2 dating series in 2017, where she met her future husband Jamie Jewitt. Then the topic of Harry’s celebrity contacts came up. He did not mention King Charles or Oprah Winfrey, but instead said his most famous phone calls were with former England rugby international Dylan Hartley and James Haskell. The answer left Joe Marler and co-host Jake Bhardwaj amused.
The interview also included several funny moments about Prince Harry’s appearance and childhood. He joked that people think he has ginger hair, but he prefers to call it “sunset auburn.” Everyone started laughing, but Jake reminded them not to laugh at the Duke. Harry also completed the iconic “Autoglass repair, Autoglass replace” slogan before cracking a joke about the fact that royals watched the same TV ads as everyone else.
Harry later remembered his time at Wetherby School, Ludgrove School and Eton College, where he did not follow the family tradition of Gordonstoun, but rather Prince William. He stated that classmates would bully him and tease him as “carrot top” due to his hair. The chat was a healthy mix of fun and serious moments, and covered topics such as mental health, which Harry has supported for years through his public work.
