Prince Harry has sparked controversy by describing his occupation as a 'Prince of England' during an appearance on Joe Marler's podcast 'Joe Marler Will See You Now'. The Duke of Sussex, who was in the UK last week, answered a series of quickfire questions about his full name, star sign, and occupation. When asked what his occupation is, Harry paused briefly before replying: 'Full time dad, British army veteran, Prince of England, Duke.'
Backlash Over 'Prince of England' Title
While technically true, the use of 'Prince of England' is likely to infuriate some royal fans, as Harry has not been a working royal since stepping down from official duties in 2020. He still holds the title of prince and the Duke of Sussex, but no longer carries out duties on behalf of the Crown. His charity work continues, but his role as a working royal ended over six years ago.
Podcast Appearance Details
The podcast appearance comes shortly after Harry's brief visit to the UK. The interview featured a lighthearted tone, with Harry showing his classic humour throughout. The quickfire segment included questions about his personal details, leading to the occupation query. The full podcast is available on YouTube.
According to reports, the Duke's answer may reignite debates about his status within the Royal Family. Critics argue that referring to himself as 'Prince of England' undermines the decision to step back from royal duties, while supporters see it as a factual statement of his birthright.
