Prince Harry lifted the lid on his private life in London on 13 July, when a close friend used a podcast appearance to tease the royal about his 'annoying' habits on nights out and during their time in the British military. The Duke of Sussex, now better known for his devotion to Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, found himself on the receiving end of some surprisingly blunt banter.
Prince Harry sat down with rugby star Joe Marler for the Joe Marler Will See You Now podcast, ostensibly to talk about children's resilience, trauma and how veterans cope with life after service. Partway through the recording, Invictus Games competitor JJ Chalmers, one of Harry's closest friends from his army days, joined the conversation. What began as a serious discussion about mental health slowly slid into something closer to a barracks-style roast.
