Did Prince Harry get a tattoo?

Show Notes
Transcript

Prince Harry was spotted entering a tattoo shop in New York City during a solo trip, sparking rumors that he might have gotten some ink following his 40th birthday. The Duke of Sussex visited East Side Ink, a popular spot among A-listers like Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, and Robert Downey Jr., during his time in the city for events linked to the UN General Assembly High-Level Week.
Harry spent about an hour inside the shop, accompanied by his security detail and a police officer. However, shop owner Josh Lord remained tight-lipped, saying, “I can’t confirm or deny anything. We treat all our customers as if they were royal, because to us they are. We always honor their privacy.”

Callaroga, Shark Media, dat Lo and Welcome through Palace Intrigue Game,

2
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:18.120
your host of a Kranz's. Prince Harry was spotted entering

3
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:21.719
a tattoo shop in New York City during a solo trip,

4
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:24.960
sparking rumors that he might have gotten some ink. Following

5
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.600
his fortieth birthday, The Duke of Sussex visited East Side Ink,

6
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:33.399
a popular spot among A listers like Chris Hemsworth, Scarlet

7
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:36.719
Johansson and Robert Downey Junior, during his time in the

8
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.920
city for events linked to the UN General Assembly High

9
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.039
Level Week. Harry spent about an hour inside the shop,

10
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:47.719
accompanied by his security detail and a police officer. However,

11
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:51.280
shop owner Josh Lord remained tate lippt, saying I can't

12
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:54.280
confirm more today anything. We treat all our customers as

13
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:56.960
if they were royal, because to us they are. We

14
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.880
always honor their privacy. The Duke's two parlor visit was

15
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:05.400
reportedly part of an upcoming project, not a personal inking session.

16
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:09.480
Sources close to Buckingham Palace have denied claims made by

17
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.560
former Prime Minister Boris Johnson that he was asked to

18
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.840
give Prince Harry a manly pep talk in January twenty

19
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.599
twenty to dissuade him from stepping down from royal duties.

20
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:23.280
Johnson needs the assertion in his new book Unleashed, calling

21
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:28.959
the alleged request from Pallas and Downing Street officials totally hopeless. However,

22
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.120
insiders familiar with the situation told The Telegraph that no

23
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:36.640
such appeal was ever made. Royal historian doctor Tessa Dunlop

24
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.920
told The Mirror alone Harry had been a second rung

25
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:43.920
royal awe or, in his words, the spare Megan, a

26
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:47.040
bit part Hollywood actress, and a series called Suits. Together,

27
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:51.079
they were mega megabucks and mega stars. Nothing could stop them,

28
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:53.799
not even a manly pep talk from that other renegade,

29
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.640
former Prime Minister Boris Johnson. But out on his own again,

30
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.519
the Duke's brand looks well, a little thin, no matter

31
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:03.519
how good Harry is at his American royal adjacent role.

32
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.359
Very as it turns out, the privacy minded Prince Harry

33
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:09.360
stayed away from the cameras by appearing on the Tonight

34
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:12.560
Show with Jimmy Fallon during his solo trip to New York,

35
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.560
as both Queen Elizabeth and Johnny Carson rolled over in

36
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:17.840
their graves, Harry took a spooky turn and as he

37
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:22.039
participated in a Halloween themed skit instead of the usual interview,

38
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.120
Harry became the first surprise guest to take on the

39
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:30.560
Haunted Maze challenge called Tonightmares at Rockefeller Center. The Duke

40
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:34.240
of Sussex spent the segment swearing, giggling, and even comparing

41
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:37.960
one of the haunted characters to Canadian crooner Michael boob Lay.

42
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:42.560
Wearing a khaki shirt and chest mounted camera, Harry braved

43
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:47.400
ten terrifying rooms filled with jump scares, zombies, and eerie figures.

44
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:52.199
The princess reactions from startled screams of Jesus f to

45
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.039
a pretend punch at one of the actors were all

46
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.800
caught on camera. Fellon played along, teasing Harry for his

47
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.439
fear of pandas and laughing as the two navigated the maze.

48
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:04.199
At one point, actors in the maze were left stunned

49
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:06.599
after realizing they had just scared a member of the

50
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:10.840
British royal family. While Harry continues his East Coast trip,

51
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:14.919
Megan Markele has been notably absent, sparking more speculation about

52
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:19.680
their independent ventures However, sources maintain the couple's solo projects

53
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.759
are part of their broader strategy. Since stepping back from

54
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:27.400
royal duties, Harry is continuing his crusade against the dangers

55
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.520
of social media, this time speaking at the Clinton Global

56
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.360
Initiative in New York, where he zeroed in on the

57
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:37.599
insanely powerful tech leaders who, in his view, aren't doing

58
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.120
enough to protect children online. His message was picked up

59
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:45.000
by several social media sites, which helped amplify his message.

60
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:48.840
Addressing the crowd after former US President Bill Clinton, Harry

61
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:52.000
didn't mince words. He called out social media companies for

62
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:56.000
failing to enact meaningful change, noting that laws and regulations

63
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:59.759
on social media are different state to state, country to country.

64
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.719
In a personal moment, Harry reflected on his own rebellious

65
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:06.360
youth with a touch of humor, saying kids may get

66
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:08.400
into trouble. I know a thing or two about that.

67
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.639
But he quickly pivoted to the gravity of the situation.

68
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.759
Our kids are being targeted. The harmful effects of social

69
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:19.759
media are made by design. Harry has long been outspoken

70
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.680
on the need for stricter social media regulations, previously calling

71
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.639
the platforms more addictive than drugs and alcohol. In his

72
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.000
latest appearance, he emphasized the urgency of protecting children from

73
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:34.040
the pervasive threat posed by online spaces. He asked a

74
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:37.360
crucial question, why are we holding social media companies to

75
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:42.160
the lowest ethical standards. The British media has started throwing

76
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:46.439
around the phrase professional separation relating to Harry and Meghan's careers,

77
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:50.879
and Insider told Hello, Harry and Meghan have consistently pursued

78
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:55.160
solo ventures in connection with their individual interests, but remained

79
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:59.279
deeply committed to their joint efforts through Archwell Together. They

80
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:02.839
have exciting projects in the piplane or driving forward. There

81
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:07.439
shared mission for positive global impact. As Obi Wan Kenobi

82
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:11.800
once said, there's nothing to see here. Move along, pallastandric

83
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:17.120
of a rap pack. Sarah Ferguson is currently in New

84
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.160
York City with her daughter, Princess Beatrice. While Royal insiders

85
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:22.839
notice her public appearances with the royal family are becoming

86
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:26.759
increasingly rare. Despite attending a few major royal events like

87
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.399
the Christmas Walk, a memorial for King Constantine of Greece,

88
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:35.000
and the Easter Service, Ferguson has kept a notably low profile.

89
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.639
Her appearances such as at Royal ascot seem to be

90
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.399
separate from the more central members of the firm. Royal

91
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.519
biographer Craig Brown explained to InStyle that Ferguson is not

92
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.759
the King's kind of person, which may explain why she

93
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.240
hasn't been seen filling in during events when senior royals

94
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.519
like Kate Middleton or King Charles had health issues Earlier

95
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:59.000
this year. The ongoing controversy surrounding her ex husband Prince Andrew,

96
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.720
including his housing dispute over Royal Lodge and impending loss

97
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:07.839
of his security detail, is likely a factor. The Daily

98
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:10.319
Mail she had some fun anecdotes about the Royals when

99
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:14.439
quin Camilla still smoked. Silver cigarette boxes filled with her

100
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.720
favorite brand were placed in every room, along with perfectly

101
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:22.000
positioned matches for her convenience. The attention to detail continues

102
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.839
in the personal care of the royals. King Charles has

103
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:29.120
his own barbershop within Buckingham Palace. His valet ensures his

104
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:33.279
shoelaces are meticulously ironed, and the housemate hand washes his

105
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:37.160
silk underwear. His wardrobe is a testament to luxury, with

106
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.399
custom suits costing upwards of five thousand pounds and shirts

107
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.199
at one thousand pounds each. His boots and shoes are

108
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.480
polished daily by a soldier, ensuring every piece of his

109
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:50.680
attire is immaculate. The same riga applies to the royal

110
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.560
reading habits. Books aren't delivered before their official release date,

111
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.399
always in hardback, and footmen leave them open to the

112
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:59.319
correct page in different rooms, so the royals never miss

113
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:03.399
a beat. Films are no exception. Television and movie studios

114
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:05.399
sent of early releases, so the King and Queen get

115
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:09.319
to preview the latest blockbusters. And then there's the treatment

116
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:12.680
of the royal staff. Prince Edward, for example, was rumored,

117
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:16.560
though unproven, to have dismissed a butler simply because the

118
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.160
man wasn't standing outside to open the car door when

119
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:23.240
Edward returned home. Meanwhile, Princess Anne refuses to be driven

120
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:27.439
by anyone, including her husband, insisting on being behind the

121
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.839
wheel herself. And there you have it. If youse email
