Although the Duke and Duchess of Sussex didn’t attend the Golden Globes this year, they were still in the spotlight after the show’s host, Jo Koy, made a cheeky joke about Prince Harry during the comedian’s opening monologue.

While speaking to the audience about the nominees, Jo was full of praise for Imelda Staunton, who portrayed the late Queen in the final season of The Crown. He said: “How great was Imelda Staunton in The Crown, wasn’t she amazing? Her portrayal of the Queen was so good Prince Harry called her and asked her for money.”

Acknowledging the brutal joke, he added: “Like I said, I didn’t write all of these! That one wasn’t mine!” He then continued: “Prince Harry and Meghan will still be paid millions of dollars for doing absolutely nothing – and that’s just by Netflix!”

The couple released a documentary for Netflix back in 2023 which detailed their exit from the royal family and move to California as part of a deal thought to be worth US$100 million. Following reports that the collaboration had entered troubled waters in July last year, a Netflix spokesperson told ET: “The bond with Archewell Productions is one we deeply value. Harry & Meghan launched as Netflix’s most spectacular documentary debut to date.

“Our exciting journey with them isn’t ending anytime soon. We’re currently collaborating on numerous projects, including the much-anticipated documentary series Heart of Invictus.”
