Prince Harry confronted former footballer Rio Ferdinand on James Corden's Fox programme After Hours after Ferdinand ranked the duke last among famous British Harrys. The awkward exchange aired during the July 19 episode, with the 41-year-old prince reacting to the earlier put-down.
Ferdinand's Original Ranking Sparks Confrontation
In a previous episode, Ferdinand ranked singer Harry Styles first, fictional character Harry Potter second, England football captain Harry Kane third, and Prince Harry fourth. After learning the prince would appear, Ferdinand backtracked, calling the duke number one.
During the show, Corden asked Harry to rank himself among Styles, Kane, Potter, and himself. The prince initially refused, then turned to Ferdinand: 'Yeah, you put me at four but the minute you knew I was going to be at this table you put me at one?' Ferdinand, stuttering, joked he had rethought his list.
Prince Harry's Final Ranking
The duke eventually placed Harry Styles first, Harry Kane second, and himself and Harry Potter joint third. 'We'll have a Quidditch-off,' Harry quipped, referencing the sport from the Harry Potter series. The lighthearted moment closed the segment on Corden's late-night show.
