Prince Harry has shown a rare side of himself after a series of serious interviews.

The Duke of Sussex, who appeared on a new episode of Joe Marler Will See You Now on Monday, showcased what Meghan Markle was when they first started dating each other.

Brand and culture expert Nick Ede says: “This is exactly the sort of appearance Prince Harry needed.”

“He has so often been seen through the lens of legal battles, family tensions and serious interviews, but here we saw a far more natural, relaxed and genuinely funny side of him.

“It reminded people of the Prince Harry many connected with years ago, someone warm, self-deprecating and able to laugh at himself, which is what Meghan saw in him too,” said the expert.

Prince Harry left the Royal Family back in 2020 alongside wife Meghan Markle and son, Prince Archie. The couple later accused the Royal Family of showcasing racism towards their son and publicly shared their grievances on television. Harry and Meghan now live in California, where they also welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet.
