Prince Harry has found himself the target of sharp criticism from comedian Joe Rogan in Rogan’s latest Netflix special, “Joe Rogan: Burn the Boats.” The show, which marks Rogan’s return to stand-up comedy after six years, features a segment where the comedian openly mocks the Duke of Sussex, accusing him of “talking s**t.”


Rogan, performing live at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio, Texas, didn’t hold back in his critique of Prince Harry. He recounted a bizarre personal anecdote where he claimed to have woken up one morning, only to find Harry on television, seemingly criticizing him. “I’m in my underwear, I plop down, turn the TV on, and Prince Harry’s talking s**t about me. I’m like ‘I just woke up’. I’m vulnerable. I’m in my underwear, and there is a prince on TV talking about me,” Rogan quipped, drawing laughter from the audience.


The comedian also took aim at one of the more outlandish stories from Harry’s autobiography, Spare, in which the Duke revealed that he and a friend had consumed “a huge box of black diamond mushroom chocolates” found in the fridge at actress Courteney Cox’s house. Rogan found this admission particularly ripe for humor, imagining a scenario where he could trick Harry into doing magic mushrooms together. “Mushrooms take about 40 minutes to kick in, but about 35 minutes in you hear them coming. You hear footsteps in the distance. Meanwhile, Prince Harry is tripping,” Rogan joked.


The episode highlights Rogan’s trademark irreverent style, which spares no one, not even royalty. His performance on Netflix has already garnered attention for its bold commentary and unfiltered humor, with Prince Harry’s stories serving as some of the most memorable punchlines. Rogan’s take on the Duke of Sussex’s confessions may add to the ongoing debate about the royal’s public image, especially in the wake of his controversial revelations in Spare.

Prince Harry, who has been a frequent subject of media scrutiny, may have expected backlash after sharing such personal anecdotes. However, the harsh critique from a high-profile figure like Joe Rogan is a new chapter in the ongoing narrative surrounding the Duke’s life post-royalty. As Rogan’s special continues to gain viewership, it remains to be seen how this latest round of public ridicule will affect Prince Harry’s standing with his audience.
