(Picture: GC Images)Prince Harry waved to fans after he arrived in New York for an interview with The Late Show’s Stephen Colbert in the latest move to promote his memoir, Spare, which hit the bookshelves on Tuesday.
Prince Harry downed a tequila shot with the American talkshow host and was quizzed in what is known as the ‘Colbert Questionert’ segment, the MailOnline reports.
The late night interview, to be aired on Tuesday night, was pre-recorded on Monday evening.
The Duke was accompanied to the studios by an armed guard.
In a teaser video for the interview with Prince Harry, Colbert said he has read Spare and described it as very “revealing” and “ quite emotional”.
Speaking about Harry’s sadness when his brother Prince William allegedly didn’t want to “know” him at their school, Eton College, Colbert joked: “It’s heartbreaking, to be rejected by his older brother at school even though that magic hat sorted them into the same house.”

The interview will be aired in the US on CBS at 10.35pm Central Time.
The TV appearance is the latest in a wave of publicity surrounding Prince Harry’s book, including a string of interviews with UK and US broadcasters, including ITV and Good Morning America.
Fans queued to buy a hardback copy of the autobiography as it hit shelves of London bookshops at midnight.
The memoir details the Duke’s severance from the Royal Family and feud with his brother Prince William, as well as his pain in the years following his mother’s death and how he killed 25 Taliban fighters while serving in Afghanistan.
More intimate details were also revealed, including drug-taking and when Prince Harry lost his virginity.
In the latest relevations from the book, Harry said Diana’s Paul Burrell was “milking” her death for money when he penned A Royal Duty in 2003, adding that it “made my blood boil”.
He also disclosed how he shopped at TK Maxx, despite having an official clothing allowance from the King, and told Meghan to avoid taking a photograph outside India’s Taj Mahal picture so people didn’t think she was mimicking Diana.
Much of the book had been leaked in the lead-up to going on sale to the public on January 10, with press obtaining copies that were accidentally sold early in a Spanish bookshop.
