Richard Osman suggests BBC career move for Prince Harry after 'very good' appearance
Richard Osman suggests BBC career move for Prince Harry

Television presenter and producer Richard Osman has suggested a BBC career move for Prince Harry following what he described as a "very good" appearance during the Duke of Sussex's visit to the UK in July.

Harry appeared on the Joe Marler Will See You Now podcast, and Osman believes this could hint at a future career in television for King Charles's youngest son.

Media career advice

Speaking on The Rest Is Entertainment, Osman said: "I saw him on the Joe Marler podcast. He's very good on things like that. And I think you could build a fairly nice media career for Harry where he just appears on television every now and again."

He added: "If I was his advisor, and I can exclusively reveal that I'm not, I'd have him meeting people."

Osman then made a specific suggestion, indicating that Harry would be perfectly suited for a role on Michael McIntyre's The Wheel.

The Wheel and a new show pitch

The game show, hosted by comedian McIntyre, features seven celebrities around a wheel, each with a specific area of expertise. It airs on BBC on Saturday evenings.

Osman said: "I'd put him on The Wheel tomorrow, with Michael McIntyre. He'd be great on The Wheel. Michael would look after him, he'd look good if he got something right, he'd look self-depreciating if he got something wrong. I wouldn't put him on The Traitors or I'm A Celebrity or something like that."

He also pitched a new show for Harry called Harry's Special Forces, which he described as a cross between DIY SOS and popular 1990s game show Challenge Anneka.

Charity engagements ahead

Expanding on the concept, he said: "I've got a show called Harry's Special Forces. It's like DIY SOS meets Challenge Anneka. It is exactly that thing of a house needs rebuilding, a community centre needs rebuilding. But he does it with a bunch of army veterans, people who have been injured in the line of conflict. And they build something and put something together. At the same time he's showing these veterans, they're putting their skills out there for employers, it's feel-good."

Harry's plan for a number of charity engagements in Britain in September were already in place. He will attend the WellChild Awards in London as he continues his support for the event. It honours the bravery of seriously ill children. The Invictus Games will also be in the UK next summer, with Birmingham chosen as the host city.
