Prince Harry personally requested to appear on former England rugby star Joe Marler\u2019s comedy podcast, it has emerged.<\/p>\n

The revelation came to light in a new video titled “We Invited Prince Harry. He Actually Turned Up,” which showed Mr Marler and his co-host, comedian Jake Bhardwaj, preparing for the high-profile interview at the NEC in Birmingham.<\/p>\n

The duo were gearing up for a special edition of their hit show, Joe Marler Will See You Now, ahead of the upcoming Invictus Games.<\/p>\n

During the behind-the-scenes footage, Mr Bhardwaj opened by stating that they were one year away from the Invictus Games and preparing to speak with someone “very special”. <\/p>\n

Mr Marler, visibly stunned, admitted he felt unable to say the name out loud, calling the situation “bonkers.”<\/p>\n

When Mr Bhardwaj joked that the royal visitor was “not f***ing Voldemort” and would not just appear out of nowhere, Mr Marler finally announced the guest: “It’s Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex. The duke of my county.”<\/p>\n

As the two hosts brainstormed interview topics, Mr Marler suggested asking the duke: “When was the last time you s*** yourself?” <\/p>\n

Mr Bhardwaj supported the bold line of questioning, arguing that they should not change the usual chaotic nature of their podcast.<\/p>\n

It was at this moment Mr Bhardwaj dropped the bombshell: “I don’t think we should change anything that we do on the podcast, namely because he’s the one who had the idea to come on.”<\/p>\n

Mr Marler immediately agreed with the sentiment, replying: “Yeah. So give him both barrels. Has he got armpit hair?”<\/p>\n

Once the royal sat down in the studio, the conversation immediately veered into comedic territory.<\/p>\n

In the episode itself, the Duke of Sussex participated in the show’s customary “intake questionnaire”.<\/p>\n

He shocked the hosts by revealing his full formal name: “Henry Charles Albert David,” alongside his title and the unexpected nickname “Jakey.”<\/p>\n

The light-hearted banter continued when Mr Marler asked Prince Harry what people most frequently get wrong about him.<\/p>\n

“That I’m not ginger,” the prince shot back. <\/p>\n

When a surprised Mr Marler questioned whether people actually get that wrong, the duke replied: “Yeah. People think I’m ginger, but I’m more sunset, like auburn.”<\/p>\n

The remark prompted laughter from the production crew, causing the duke to jokingly complain about being bullied at school with names like “carrot-top,” before chuckling: “I’m going to need therapy after this.”<\/p>\n

The episode also delved into more serious ground as the duke was joined by his close friend and former Invictus competitor JJ Chalmers.<\/p>\n

The pair discussed trauma, grief, and the role Prince Harry’s children play in keeping him grounded. <\/p>\n

The show concluded with a cultural quiz and a nostalgic singalong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince Harry personally requested to appear on former England rugby star Joe Marler\u2019s comedy podcast, it has emerged.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":699896,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,983,1852,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-699895","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-prince-harry","tag-royal","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/699895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=699895"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/699895\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/699896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=699895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=699895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=699895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
