Comedian Trevor Noah was in charge of the proceedings – and he couldn’t resist poking fun at Prince Harry in the wake of his tell-all memoir Spare.
Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have been keeping a low profile in recent weeks, following a whirlwind promotional tour by the Prince. But his book is very much still a talking point – as Trevor demonstrated on Sunday.
The host made his cheeky quip while introducing James Corden to the stage to present an award.
He said: “James Corden is a 12-time Emmy winner and the host of The Late Late Show. He’s also living proof that a man can move from London to L.A. And not tell everyone about his frost-bitten penis.”
Viewers quickly took to social media to react. “I bet Harry wasn’t expecting THAT!” one joked. “Oh snap! Harry is not having a good week,” added a second. And a third wrote: “Harry has set himself up for comedic fodder.”
Others thought that Prince would take the joke in the spirit it was intended. “I’m sure Harry would have found it funny. He has a good sense of humour.”
Harry certainly raised eyebrows with the intimate detailing of his frostbite injury in Spare.
It came after his Walking with the Wounded 200-mile expedition in March 2011, which saw him embark on a trek to the North Pole alongside four ex-servicemen.
