The Duke of Sussex made an awkward joke after being asked to rank Britain's most prominent Harrys during an appearance on a football-themed show hosted by James Corden.
Ranking the Harrys
Prince Harry crowned Harry Styles as the most famous Harry, followed by Harry Kane, placed himself in third, and put Harry Potter last. He then quipped: “And we'll have a Quidditch off,” prompting laughter from the audience.
England's World Cup chances
Asked what it would take for England to reach a World Cup final, Harry reflected on the national team's semi-final defeat to Argentina. He told the show: “I have to be very careful what I say here. What’s it gonna take? It’s a mindset. I think that what we saw was a slight shock value for the team. We’re one-nil up against Argentina, and then there was this immediate temptation to fall into defence. I don’t think it was a tactic; I don’t think that was the plan. It just happened. You can’t in 72, 73 minutes, however long it was, you can’t defend a one-nil lead against a team like that.”
Invictus Games announcement
Separately, after his appearance, the duke hailed the announcement that South Korea will host the 2029 Invictus Games as an “exciting new chapter in our journey”. Harry founded the Paralympic-style event to aid the recovery of wounded and sick military veterans and those still serving and said his project was “excited” to work with the city of Daejeon.
