Prince Harry revealed that he was bullied in school because of his hair color despite his royal status.

The Duke of Sussex recently appeared on Joe Marler's Will See You Now podcast, where he asked what people most often get wrong about him.

Harry promptly replied, "Uh, that I'm not ginger."

Joe responded, "Hang on, hang on, hang on, people get that wrong?" 

The royal member elaborated, "Yeah. Yeah. People think I'm ginger, but I'm more sort of like sunset orange…like auburn. I don't know why that's funny."

Joe tried to suppress his laughter and asked his crew, "Can we not laugh at the duke, please?"

Harry then added, "Unless you want to call me 'Ginge.' You know, I got bullied a lot at school. I was called 'Carrot Top.'" 

"I don't know why they would, uh, I... Not funny. It's not funny, you know," said Joe.

Harry laughed and said, "I'm going to need therapy after this." But when asked if he would swap lives for a day with Harry Styles, Harry Kane or Harry Potter, Prince Harry stated he would choose to be Kane "on a winning day."

"You don't want to be Kane on a losing day, do you?" the prince added.

 "I actually really, genuinely thought at the beginning of my relationship [with Markle] that, should this go the distance and we have kids, there's no way the ginger gene will stand up to my wife's genes—but I was wrong!" remarked Harry.
