Prince Harry sure looks happy without Meghan Markle, even if he didn't get a tattoo

Well, Prince Harry might not have a neck tattoo (yet), but he’s got something almost as outrageous: a new viral moment with Jelly Roll. In a hilarious new promotional video for the Invictus Games, the Duke of Sussex sat down for what seemed like his royal ink debut at a New York City tattoo parlor. Spoiler alert: it was all a ruse to announce Jelly Roll as the headliner for the 2025 Games’ closing ceremony in Vancouver.
The video features Jelly Roll pretending to tattoo Harry, who nervously negotiated locations for his hypothetical first tattoo. “Lower back or my ass,” Harry suggested, proving the royal sense of humor is alive and well. But Jelly Roll, clearly a neck tattoo enthusiast, had other plans—and, for dramatic effect, pretended to leave his signature on Harry’s neck.
As for Jelly Roll, his performance on February 16, 2025, will undoubtedly bring his signature flair to the Invictus Games’ first winter edition. And who knows? Maybe Harry will show up with a real tattoo next time—although it probably won’t say “I am Jelly Roll.”
Royal watchers feel Harry looks smiley and relaxed, despite not having Meghan at his side.

Calorogu Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I'm
2
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:16.879
your host, Mark Francis. Well, Prince Harry might not have
3
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:20.640
a neck tattoo yet, but he's got something almost as
4
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:24.679
outrageous a new viral moment with jelly Roll. In a
5
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:27.960
hilarious new promotional video for the Invictus Games, the Duke
6
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.800
of Sussex sat down for what seemed like his royal
7
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:35.920
ink debut at a New York City tattoo parlor. Spoiler alert,
8
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.079
it was all a ruse to announce jelly Roll as
9
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:41.560
the headliner for the twenty twenty five Games closing ceremony
10
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:46.320
in Vancouver. The video features jelly Roll pretending to tattoo Harry,
11
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:51.880
who nervously negotiated locations for his hypothetical first tattoo lower
12
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.359
back or my ass, Harry suggested, proving the royal sense
13
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:58.280
of humor is alive and well. But jelly Roll, clearly
14
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:02.759
a neck tattoo enthusiast, had other plans and, for dramatic effect,
15
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.480
pretended to leave his signature on Harry's neck. As for
16
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.719
jelly Roll, his performance on February sixteenth will undoubtedly bring
17
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:14.120
his signature flare to the Invictors game's first winter edition,
18
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:16.760
and who knows, maybe Harry will show up with a
19
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:19.920
real tattoo next time, although it probably won't say I
20
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:25.079
am Jelly Roll Royal Watchers, Phil Harry looks smiley and relaxed.
21
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:28.959
Despite not having Megan at his side, Harry continues to
22
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.680
leave his mark in Canada, blending star power and heartfelt advocacy.
23
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:36.760
During his latest visit to Vancouver, fresh off a surprise
24
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:39.480
appearance at the Gray Cup, Harry took a more grounded
25
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:42.760
approach on Monday, diving into a game of sitting volleyball
26
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.280
with school children at Vancouver's Sea Fourth Armory. The event
27
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:48.879
was part of a push to promote the upcoming Invictus Games,
28
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.719
set to take place in Vancouver and Whistler. The Prince
29
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.239
joined students in studying Invictus, the poem that inspired the
30
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:00.680
game's name, and even participated in some artistic activity, all
31
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:04.560
while promoting the event's themes of resilience and teamwork. Later,
32
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.760
he spoke about the program's potential to amplify the game's
33
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:11.599
message worldwide, saying this is where Invictus starts to go
34
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:14.919
even wider. Seeing this program in action, you can really
35
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.759
feel the energy, the enthusiasm and the learning happening in
36
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.680
this room. The Invictors Games Vancouver Whistler twenty twenty five
37
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:27.159
will feature a historic first winter adaptive sports like alpine skime,
38
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:31.280
Nordic skiing, skeleton and wheelchair curling. It will be Canada's
39
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:35.319
second time hosting the event, following Toronto's turn in twenty seventeen.
40
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:39.960
Harry emphasized the transformative nature of the game's four participants,
41
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:44.759
urging attendees to share its significance with others. For these individuals,
42
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.319
for the challenges they have overcome, coming out into a
43
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:50.039
stadium full of tens of thousands of people cheering for them,
44
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:54.120
that can be a life altering moment. The Invictus Games
45
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:57.360
will run from February eighth to sixteenth, welcoming competitors from
46
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:01.199
twenty three countries. As a parting gift, students at Monday's
47
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.120
event received tickets to the opening ceremony, giving them a
48
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:08.719
front row seat to the inspiration set to unfold. Diana,
49
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:12.639
also writing for news dot UK, wonders where Megan Has Gone?
50
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:17.039
Also writes November twenty seventh marks seven years since she
51
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:22.360
then Megan Markel, actress, blogger, and Angelino native stood next
52
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.560
to Prince Harry in Kensington Palace's iconic sunken garden and
53
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:29.199
announced their engagement. But in the long and winding story
54
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:32.080
of the Duchess, which includes an exhausting rinse and repeat
55
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:35.199
of tragi comedy drama, twenty twenty four stands out as
56
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:39.120
a remarkable year. What has happened to Arguably one of
57
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.240
the most famous women in the world. She hasn't appeared
58
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.719
in any new TV shows or podcasts despite signing with
59
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:50.960
Lamonada Media in February. The Aro Instagram account languishes away,
60
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:53.560
unloved and coven in dust. Her TV show is yet
61
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:56.680
to get an air date despite filming finishing back around June,
62
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.759
and aside from the couple's international tours to Nigeria and
63
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:03.680
Columbia and a Remembrance Day video, the Duchess has largely
64
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:07.360
absented herself from the public stage. The world has been
65
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:10.280
put on a Megan starvation diet and I don't know why.
66
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.039
Maybe she's done with the Bright Lights, Lime and otherwise
67
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.079
and is focusing on her future business and manifesting a
68
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.600
kmart product deal. But what will be interesting to watch
69
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.160
play out in the upcoming months is if this marks
70
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:24.959
the beginning of a real shift in the Duchess of
71
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:28.480
Sussex's visibility, or whether this lull has more to do
72
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:32.240
with her marshaling her forces and preparing for a barnstorming
73
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:36.120
next year. Tentatively pencil it in twenty twenty five could
74
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:40.120
be the jam or not balance intrigue A bit right back,
75
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.399
Buckingham Palace rolled out the tiaras and tuxedos for the
76
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.879
Diplomatic Core Reception, with King Charles and quin Camilla hosting
77
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:54.920
a lavish evening that left no sparkle spared. The annual
78
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:58.480
event welcomed some nine hundred ambassadors, high commissioners and other
79
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:02.040
dignitaries showcase the grandeur of the British monarchy on the
80
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.839
international stage. Queen Camilla turned heads in the stunning blue
81
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:09.319
velvet evening gown by Fiona Claire, but it was her
82
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:12.040
choice of accessories that truly stole the show. She donned
83
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:16.040
at the late Queen Elizabeth Ions aqua marine and damond tiara,
84
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.800
a delicate piece rarely seen in public, known as the
85
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:23.040
aquamarine Ribbon Tiara, its intricate design and striking gemstones quickly
86
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:26.800
became a talking point among the glittering crowd. The King,
87
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.360
resplendent in white tie, knee breeches and buckled shoes, mingled
88
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:34.360
with guests, embodying the timeless traditions of royal diplomacy. Meanwhile,
89
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:38.079
Prince William, also in white tay, represented the Wales family solo,
90
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.920
as Kate did not attend. The princesses preparing to host
91
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.759
her annual Christmas Carol concert at Westminster Abbey in just
92
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.560
a few weeks, marking an important milestone in her recovery journey,
93
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.079
The event, typically held in December, was moved to November
94
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:54.839
to accommodate the King's upcoming state visit from the Emir
95
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:58.720
of Qatar. Guests enjoyed a buffet supper and dancing in
96
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.360
the Palace ballroom against the opulent backdrop of Buckingham Palace's
97
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.560
state rooms. Our Royal inside A deep crown raised an
98
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:09.720
eyebrow at Kate's absence, telling palace intrigue. The Princess of
99
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:12.959
Wales's absence, a cornerstone event in the royal calendar she
100
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:17.279
rarely misses, raises quiet concerns when viewed alongside a telling
101
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:20.600
moment in January, when Prince William abruptly missed his godfather's
102
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:23.480
memorial service to be with her, while the Palace points
103
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:27.000
to Kate focusing on her upcoming Christmas Carol concert. Seasoned
104
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:29.959
royal watchers know these diplomatic receptions are precisely the kind
105
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.560
of event where the future Queen Consort would typically shine.
106
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:37.279
Perhaps her recovery requires more time than initially suggested. Full

analysis in Sunday's column, where we'll examine what the Palace
108

isn't saying about Catherine's careful return to public life. You
