Prince Harry accused of 'asking for money' in embarrassing Golden Globes attack
Prince Harry came under fire for being paid "millions of dollars for doing absolutely nothing" in a savage attack during the Golden Globe Awards.
Comedian Jo Koy hosted the 81st annual ceremony and made a brutal comment about the Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan Markle during his opening monologue. Jo spoke to the audience about the nominees and spoke very highly of Imelda Staunton for her work portraying the late Queen Elizabeth II in the final season of The Crown.
"How great was Imelda Staunton in The Crown, wasn’t she amazing? Her portrayal of the Queen was so good Prince Harry called her and asked her for money," he said.

Meghan and Harry signed a lucrative five-year deal with Netflix for £80million back in 2020 to produce documentaries, feature films, scripted shows and children's programmes. Since the deal was announced, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have released their bombshell docuseries Harry & Meghan as well as Harry's Heart of Invictus documentary.
They've also obtained the film rights to the romantic novel Meet Me At The Lake by Carley Fortune. While their relationship with Netflix had been strong, speculation mounted that the couple would be dropped from the streaming service after they were axed from Spotify.

"Our exciting journey with them isn't ending anytime soon. We're currently collaborating on numerous projects." Meghan has also teased they have exciting things in the pipepline.
The former actress attended Variety magazine's Power of Women gala in Los Angeles back in November. During her appearance on the red carpet, she said: "We have so many exciting things on the slate. I can't wait until we can announce them, but I'm just really proud of what we're creating."
