Prince Harry likened to King Charles as he 'relishes' in comedy role
Prince Harry has been likened to his father following his recent comedic speech.
The Duke of Sussex, 39, filmed the gag-filled video from his £12million home in Montecito and was seen wearing four British military medals during the clip. He also proudly wore a Royal British Legion poppy on his suit jacket.
Labelling himself and fellow ginger haired people "endangered species", the prince continuously poked fun at himself during the recording. The monologue was shared at the Stand Up For Heroes comedy event in New York last night.

He later added: "Due to the shockingly low representation of gingers last year, and out of respect for my fellow endangered species, here I am, reporting for duty. As someone who never gets scrutinised, I haven't even had to prepare much."

Harry continued: "But out of an abundance of caution, I have been working on this particular act for quite some time and everyone I know tells me it's perfect. And no, these aren't people who just tell me what I want to hear, these are people like my finance manager, my lawyer, and of course, my reiki healer."
Body language expert Judi James exclusively tells us that Harry's comedic speech suits him and that he "positively relishes it." She told us: "Harry not only suits this comedy role, his body language signals suggest he positively relishes it.
"Comedy does seem to flow in the genes as his father Charles absolutely adored doing comedy skits on stage during his time at uni. Whereas Charles’s attempts to emulate the Goons often had the effect of curling toes rather than prompting belly laughs though, Harry is actually quite genuinely funny here."

Its so good to see the man who appears to take himself far too seriously these days use self-effacing humour here and he manages to deliver his lines well enough to create a balance between ‘getting it and sharing it’ and acting like he’s been duped," she continued.
Judi added: "There are two real body language ‘tells’ in terms of his enjoyment here though: the first is the series of small bounces onto his toes and back down again, which is a sure sign of fun-fuelled pleasure and then there are those cocked thumbs as he gesticulates, which is another sign of confidence and pleasure.
"Like his father, Harry could be yearning for a career in comedy. He clearly relished his scenes with James Corden when he first moved to the US and he showed his talent for comedy timing when he was doing chat shows to promote his book Spare, suggesting Meghan is not the only performer in the family."
