Prince Harry has once again proven he’s not holding back when it comes to describing royal life, this time comparing the House of Windsor to Downton Abbey.

The Duke of Sussex appeared as a surprise guest at the British American Business Council’s LA lunch last week, where he delivered a string of jokes about his royal upbringing and the chaos that came with it.

Harry told the room: "People sometimes ask if growing up with the Royal Family was a bit like Julian's Downton Abbey."

Then came the punchline: "Yeah, but only one of those worlds is filled with drama, intrigue, elaborate dinners, marriages to Americans – and the other is a TV show."

The crack reportedly earned huge laughs, and Harry didn’t stop there.

He went on to poke fun at President Donald Trump’s immigration policies and the upcoming US World Cup, joking that British fans would need to "behave, get through customs and past ICE" just to watch England play.

The comments come just days after Harry shocked US audiences with a surprise appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where he auditioned, jokingly, to play a Hallmark-style “Christmas prince.”

Pretending to be lost in the studio, he told Colbert he was looking for auditions for: "Gingerbread Christmas Prince saves Christmas in Nebraska".

When Colbert asked why an actual prince would want such a role, Harry shot back: "You Americans are obsessed with Christmas movies, and you're clearly obsessed with royalty, so why not?"

The duo teased the appearance beforehand with a playful promo video recreating the viral Great British Bake Off moment where Alison Hammond misheard baker Mark Lutton.

Harry lip-synced Alison’s lines, asking Colbert: "If you were treated like a king for a day, what would you want me to do for you?"

Colbert, acting as Lutton, replied: "Bake for me probably?"

The clip went viral, and Meghan even shared it on her Instagram Story before the episode aired.
