Prince Harry Calls Himself ‘Prince of England’ as William Dodges Trump at the World Cup
Prince Harry reveals how he really sees himself during a surprisingly candid podcast appearance, calling himself a full-time father, Army veteran and “Prince of England” while saying almost nothing about his post-royal media empire. Harry also opens up about Archie and Lilibet, his disappearing hair and why he prefers “sunset auburn” to ginger. Plus, Prince William is accused of avoiding the World Cup to keep his distance from Donald Trump, and King Charles embraces his ancient role as Lord of Mann.

0:00 A calarogus shark Media Now, Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I am your host, Mark Francis. Harry has offered a revealing description of how he now sees himself, and notably it did not include television producer, Netflix executive or media entrepreneur. Appearing on the Joe Marler Will See You Now podcast, Harry was asked a simple question about his occupation. He replied, full time dad, British Army, veteran, Prince of England, Duke, but for today, I don't know what do you want, Duke. The answer was delivered casually, in keeping with a lighthearted tone of the interview, and Harry appeared to be joking with former England rugby player Joe Marler, but the responses attracted attention because every identity Harry chose to mention was established before he and Megan Markle stepped away from royal duties and moved to North America in twenty twenty. Harry also described himself as Prince of England, although his formal status as Prince of the UK and then as Duke of Sussex, the title given him by Queen Elizabeth I Sion and on his wedding day in twenty eighteen. Marlot later leaned into that title by repeatedly chanting Duke in his sub stack Royal inside a deep crown rights. When asked his occupation, the Duke offered the following, with what I am told was characteristic ease, full time to add British Army veteran Prince of England. Duke let us dwell on that for a moment. Prince of England, not the Duke of Sussex, not a private citizen of Monticito, not the chairman of Archwall, nor the author of Spare, nor the Netflix personality. No, in the unrehearsed moment when a
1:32 man had simply asked who he is, Harry reached instinctively for the one identity he formally surrendered sixty years ago, in which I am reliably informed causes no small amount of quiet irritation in certain corridors of the palace. Harry, Prince of England, has shared a touching glimpse into family life in California, revealing that whenever he has a difficult day, there is one thing he always does when he gets home. He hugs Archie and Lilibet Milos said watching his own four children cope with life's absence down had inspired him, prompting Harry to say children have a remarkable way of putting everything into perspective. Harry said, yes, I think you're absolutely right, and also kids remind you not to take yourself too seriously as well. The resilience of kids is amazing and the way that they view life is so incredibly refreshing. If the day is hard, one thing I will do is always squeeze my kids that extra extra tight.
2:21 It's not the first time Harry has spoken publicly during his visit to Britain about the role Archie and Little Bit playing and helping him through difficult moments. While attending Scotty's Summer Festival, a charity event for bereaved military children, Harry was asked by a young girl what makes him laugh when he has had a hard day. That got me right there, he replied, placing a hand on his chest. You know what, sometimes it's just a difficult day. It's not always possible to laugh. But my dog makes me laugh, my children make me laugh, and if I need to laugh, I'll probably put something really funny on the TV. Harry also spoke about his hair. Asked about his grooming routine, Harry admitted he keeps things pretty simple. Shit, shower and shave, he said. He explained that he trims his beard every five or six days to keep it looking tidy, before tuning his attention to the top of his head. I get a haircut. Otherwise I try not to look at what's happening. I've got nothing really happening on top. Harry was also asked what people most often get wrong about him.
3:14 His answer wasn't about the royal family or life in California. Instead, it was his hair color. That I'm not ginger, he said. Harry insisted he doesn't think of himself as a redhead at all. People think I'm ginger, but I'm more of like a sunset or burn, he said, before laughing, I don't know why that's funny. He also recalled being called carrot top during his school days. The conversation wandered into pop culture as Joe Muller asked which fame is Harry he would swap lives with for a day. Given the choice of Harry Styles, England Captain Harry Kane or Harry Potter. The Duke didn't hesitate for long, Cain, he replied. On a winning day and with England still chasing World Cup glory, Harry sounded optimistic. I think it's coming home, he said.
3:55 Not going to be easy, never is. Speaking of the game. Danielle Elsa Innnews dot com dot a, he writes three kings, one emperor, one queen, five princesses, one crown prince. Tourists delightedly glugging ranch dressing as they discover the many splendid wonders of hydrolyzed corn syrup. The MVPs of this World Cup have been the bevy of royals turning up to show off their ability and willingness to occasionally deign to wear jeans. The Netherlands King William Alexander and Queen Maxima danced in a dressing room. Jordan's Princess Rahwa and Crown Prince Hassain brought their baby daughter, Princess Aman and future Queen and Norway Princess Ingrid Alexandra and her brother Prince Severe Magnus sang from the stands. However, notice a particular gap, say six feet three inch chap shaped one in an unremarkable navy button up who does a decent sideline and ladding it up. Prince William, wherefore art thou the answer six thousand kilometers away joining something called the Winkle Club and dodging having to see a certain sweet and sour president.
4:57 According to a new report, what's remarkable is that, as for Paul, fever has swept across the globe, even to the most magaish depths of the US of A. That William, the head of the national football body, one of the most football obsessed nations on Earth, has not bothered to pop up at all in the US to barrick for Blighty. It's comforting to know that so far William is an equal opportunity shirker in this department, given he proved unwilling to interrupt his summer holidays to sit at a first class seat to come to Sydney to watch the English women's team play Spain in the World Cup final in twenty twenty three. Writing in his celebrity intelligence newsletter Better Connected than the Mains Grid x People, editor Dan Wakefoot has reported that the reason that the Prince has not attended any World Cup matches because he wants to avoid any chance of having to see Donald Trump, the Palace inside had told Celebrity Intelligence. Trump loves the Royals, and William and Kate especially, so there are concerns within royal circles that if William turns up in America right now, Trump makes a b line for him. William's done more than enough Trump time over the past year. He doesn't want to be associated with Trump more than he needs to be. As a future head of state. He knows he has to engage with world leaders and press the flesh, but he wants to keep his distance where he can.
6:08 Turning down a meeting on home soil would be a bad look. So what happens If the England squad makes this weekend's final in Dallas. Prince will meet Plain as he's promised to go, and therefore maybe the President too. More Palace in just a moment, King Charles has carried out his first official visit to the Isle of Man since becoming monarch, marking the occasion with a celebration of the island's history, traditions, and unique relationship with the Crown. As monarch, Charles holds the ancient title of Lord of Man, and this was his first visit to the island in that role. His previous trip came in twenty twelve, when he was still Prince of Wales, during Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. The King's day began at Tinwaald, the Manx Parliament, where he addressed members of what is widely regarded as the world's oldest parliament in continuous operation. Opening part of his and Manx Gaelic, Charles joked about the island's year long celebration of its native language. I am aware that the serious Manx language year, so I very much hope I have not succeeded at this point in massacring this wonderful celebration in your language. As the world's oldest parliament in continuous operation, Tinwald holds a remarkable distinction. This longevity speaks not only of the strength of your institutions, but also to the enduring partnership between the Crown and the people of this island. Charles said one of his happiest childhood memories was accompanying Queen Elizabeth on her first visit to the island after she became Queen. My grandfather, King George the sixth became the first reigning sovereign for many centuries to preside over the Tinwold Day ceremony when he
7:42 visited Allen VanIn in nineteen forty five, his and my grandmother's first sea crossing after ve Day. Ten years later, as a young boy, I accompanied my late mother when she herself came here for the first time as Queen and Lord of Man. That is a very special memory I have always treasured, and it gives me particular pleasure and a deep sense of continuity to return again to this wonderful island on this occasion. I am proud to be continuing the tradition of visits by my family. The visit included a garden party at Government House, where the King met members of the local community and was introduced to menx lowt and sheep, a rare breed native to the island known for its distinctive multiple horns. One of the day's highlights came when Charles celebrated the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Douglas Bay Horse Tramway. The King unveiled a commemorative pluck before claiming aboard one of the historic horse drawn trams for a ride along Douglas Promenade, stopping to greet well wishes who had lined the route waving Union flags and the Triscalian flag of the Isle of Man.
