Prince Harry makes risque comment hours after Meghan Markle flies home alone
During a breakfast meeting at the Invictus Games, Michael Harrod challenged the Duke of Sussex to share his best bad joke.
Prince Harry has made a risque joke to a veteran just days after Meghan Markle returned to the US on her own. During a breakfast meeting at the Invictus Games, Michael Harrod challenged the Duke of Sussex to share his best bad joke.
"He asked me, 'What is the difference between snow men and snow women? Snowballs!'" Harrod recalled. Harrod said: "He's got a good sense of humour and he's very engaging." Harrod recalled the joke after bumping into Harry at a swimming event held at the UBC Aquatics Centre where the Prince posed with the US stars and stripes flag.

He said: "For a man of his calibre and his stature to make the time is fantastic." Harrod added: "He makes the time to talk to people and remembers them from previous times he's met them. He cares." Michael found the joke about snowballs particularly funny as in 2022 he was diagnosed with testicular cancer.

Michael, 40, said taking part in Invictus had given his life new purpose in life. It came at the end of Valentines Day, when Prince Harry had been all smiles as he interacted with fans - even though Meghan is back in the US.
Meghan shared a rare video of her children Archie, five, and Lilibet, three, as they made Valentine's Day treats with red bagels. The Duchess of Sussex also took to Instagram to post a photo of herself kissing Harry hours after Kate Middleton and Prince William did the same.
Meanwhile, more than 1,000 miles away, the Duke of Sussex was pictured shushing noisy Nigerian supporters at a swimming event at the veterans' games.
