Harry Styles makes joke about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on SNL - what did he say?
Harry Styles made a number of tongue-in-cheek jokes while hosting Saturday Night Live including on about the former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
Pop megastar Harry Styles took aim at former Prince Andrew during his appearance at the helm of iconic US comedy show, Saturday Night Live (SNL). The former One Direction star was hosting the show for the second time as he tours in the US, and during a segment on how dull he had become during his recent hiatus, spoke of being "tremendously boring".
"I took up jogging. There’s nothing interesting about that," he said. "But because I’m me, people pretend to find that interesting. I don’t run to be interesting. I do it for the feeling it gives me, that runner’s high. It’s just amazing. Watermelon sugar high, runner’s high. And if that doesn’t do it for you, I also love ecstasy."
Then, ‘that’ picture of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in the back of a police car appeared, with Styles adding: "As a British man who spent a lot of his life in the public eye, I can assure you, there’s something nice about being boring. It’s better than the alternative."
Styles also took aim at those who had accused him of “queer-baiting” in the past and his use of fruit as a metaphor for sex in song lyrics. Speaking about his time off, Styles said: “I realised I’d spent half my life in music – touring, playing albums, and making songs about fruit that people think are about sex. I just really like fruit, guys. I like sex, too.
“People seemed to pay a lot of attention to the clothes I was wearing, and some people accused me of something called queer-baiting. But did it ever occur to you that maybe you don’t know everything about me, dad?”
On Friday, Styles claimed a number one chart double for the second time following the release of his new album, the Official Charts Company announced. The album – titled Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally – hit stores on Friday and has already shot to the top of the album chart, while his latest single American Girls has peaked on the singles chart.
This week marks Styles’ third number one album and is his fourth number one single as a solo artist.
