Prince Harry was born into a position of immense inherited privilege but that hasn’t stopped him commenting on the vigorous democracy that defines the U.S. and is now his home. He used that lofty status in an interview Wednesday night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to mock American voters and take a swing at President Donald Trump.
In a segment, the Duke of Sussex lampooned Americans for their interest in the British Royal Family, Newsweek notes. Colbert pushed back, saying: “I wouldn’t say we’re obsessed with royalty.”
“Really?” Harry replied. “I heard you elected a king.”
The Royal jape appeared to be a reference to the rabidly left-wing “No Kings” movement aligned against Trump and, by virtue of association, those who voted for the Republican’s historic return to the White House.
