Prince Harry described his current occupation as a 'full-time dad' and 'British Army veteran' during an appearance on the 'Joe Marler Will See You Now' podcast. The interview, released on July 13, took place during Harry's recent trip to the U.K. and was hosted by former England rugby player Joe Marler.
When asked to introduce himself, Harry provided his full name—'Henry Albert Charles David, Duke of Sussex'—before jokingly listing his roles. 'Full-time dad, British Army veteran, Prince of England. Duke. But for today, I don't know. What do you want?' he said, ultimately settling on 'Duke.' The exchange was characterized by humor, with Harry adopting an exaggerated upper-class accent and joking about his hair color and the Invictus Games, which he co-founded.
Harry also mentioned his favorite 'trashy' television show, Love Island, and joked about his friendship with James Haskell, who has publicly criticized Harry in the past. The Duke of Sussex appeared in high spirits, reportedly 'buoyed' after reuniting with his father, King Charles, and stepmother, Queen Camilla, at Highgrove.
The podcast appearance comes amid Harry's increased public engagement in the U.K., contrasting with his earlier focus on media projects in the U.S. with his wife, Meghan Markle. While Harry has pursued ventures like Netflix documentaries and a Spotify podcast, he did not reference these professional endeavors during the interview. Instead, he emphasized roles tied to his royal background and personal life, including his time in the British Army and his status as a father to two young children.
The interview was well-received by some observers, who noted Harry's ability to connect with the hosts' British sense of humor. Others, however, pointed out that Harry's use of his royal title—'Duke of Sussex'—reinforces his continued ties to the monarchy, despite his departure from royal duties in 2020.
