Prince Harry took aim at himself in a hilarious comedy clip for Stand Up For Heroes.

The Duke of Sussex , 39, filmed the gag-filled video from his £12million home in Montecito and was seen wearing four British military medals during the clip. Three of the medals had been given to him by his late grandmother Queen Elizabeth II; his 2002 Queen's Golden Jubilee medal, a 2012 Queen's Diamond Jubilee medal and a 2022 Queen's Platinum Jubilee Medal, while his fourth was an Afghanistan campaign medal from his time in the Army. He also proudly wore a Royal British Legion poppy on his suit jacket.

Labelling himself and fellow ginger haired people "endangered species", the prince continuously poked fun at himself during the recording. The monologue was shared at the Stand Up For Heroes comedy event in New York last night.

He also made a quip about life in California, joking his life is no longer scrutinised. Started his script, he said: "Hello New York. Obviously I was deeply honoured when Bob asked me to debut my stand-up act with you all tonight."

He later added: "Due to the shockingly low representation of gingers last year, and out of respect for my fellow endangered species, here I am, reporting for duty. As someone who never gets scrutinised, I haven't even had to prepare much."

Harry continued: "But out of an abundance of caution, I have been working on this particular act for quite some time and everyone I know tells me it's perfect. And no, these aren't people who just tell me what I want to hear, these are people like my finance manager, my lawyer, and of course, my reiki healer."

The event was hosted by British funnyman Jimmy Carr, while the likes of Tracy Morgan and Bruce Springsteen put on performances too. Also among the attendees was Tom Hanks.

It was the 17th edition of the annual event which is put on to raise funds to support members of the armed forces. It took place at the Lincoln Center in New York City.
