Popular talk show host James Corden has sparked a debate by ranking the UK’s most famous “Harrys.” During a recent broadcast of his Fox program “After Hours,” Corden assembled an expert panel of football legends to vote on Britain’s top four icons with the name Harry.
Prince Harry misses number one spot in James Corden’s top 4 Harry list
Prince Harry had to settle for a surprising spot on the list of Britain’s favorite Harrys. Instead of taking the crown, the Duke of Sussex faced stiff competition from British pop culture and sports giants. Corden and his panel, which included football icon Rio Ferdinand, ranked the famous figures based on current public appeal. In the final tally, the list featured football star Harry Kane, pop sensation Harry Styles, fictional wizard Harry Potter, and the royal prince.
The ranking took place as Corden announced that the prince would actually be appearing on the television show in the coming weeks. The host teased the upcoming interview while sitting alongside his panel. He noted that they would dive deeper into the debate when the royal guest joins the show to talk about the World Cup. The television appearance comes right as the prince plans a return trip to the United Kingdom for an upcoming Invictus Games event.
Despite his global fame, the prince missed out on the number one spot to his fellow British namesakes. England football captain Kane and chart-topping singer Styles have both captured the hearts of the British public in recent years. Even the fictional wizard Potter managed to cast a spell over the judges, leaving the real-life prince fighting for position.
The lighthearted segment instantly got fans talking on social media about who truly deserves the title of Britain’s ultimate Harry. While he might be global royalty, this latest television poll shows that in the world of pop culture, sports stars and pop singers are currently winning the popularity game.
