Prince Harry is a big fan of dogs, Russell Crowe and reincarnation.
The Duke of Sussex revealed this during the “Colbert Questionert,” which “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert aired on Tuesday, after capturing the clip during the King’s visit to the show in January.
Harry joined a list of previous guests including Michelle Obama and Robert De Niro to answer 15 questions. The banter quickly began when Colbert claimed the quiz was “scientifically calculated to probe the depths of anyone to reveal their soul to the world” to have been created in a lab.
“You have a lab here?” Harry asked. “That explains a lot.”
Harry went on to answer some of life’s most pressing questions. cats or dogs? “Uh, dogs of course.” Apples or oranges? “Oranges, duh.”
“Something oddly cannibalistic about it,” Colbert quipped, referring to Harry’s red hair.
“You know, if we bite you, you’ll get ginger vitis,” Harry joked.
When the “Spare” writer said his favorite sandwich was “a cheese and ham toastie with Dijon mustard,” Colbert asked if a “toastie” was the same as a panini. Harry said these regional language differences “got me and my wife in a lot of trouble” when they first started dating.
Colbert suggested that ‘Fanny’ was the most egregious of all Britishisms – it refers to an entirely different piece of anatomy across the pond – only for Harry to claim that ‘riding’ was the worst of all Americanisms: ‘Where else would you you ride the horse?”
Harry went on to reveal that he once asked the entire England rugby team to sign autographs at the 2003 World Cup just to have the players “stand there with their dicks hanging out”. He proudly confirmed having “all 15 signatures” on his shirt.
“You signed it with pens, yes?” Colbert asked.
Harry affectionately said his favorite smell is his wife Meghan Markle before admitting snakes are the scariest animal. When asked what he thinks will happen when we die, Harry confessed that he believes in reincarnation – and hopes to return as an elephant.
Perhaps most notably, the Duke of Sussex has said his favorite action film is Ridley Scott’s Gladiator (2000), about a man who defies empire.
Harry, whose departure from the royal family and subsequent memoir arguably did just that, concluded by describing the rest of his life in five words: “Freedom. Happiness. Clarity. Space. Love.
