Prince Harry made a surprise appearance on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon in the US and accompanied the TV host around a haunted maze – but it seems some of the actors had to be told who the prince was
Prince Harry made a surprise appearance on US TV – and shocked viewers by screaming and turning the air blue.
The Duke of Sussex shouted, “Jesus, f***,” as he was scared by a zombie as he joined Jimmy Fallon on his late-night talk show during his solo visit to New York. Instead of a usual interview, Harry, 40, took part in a skit to test a Halloween experience called Jimmy Fallon’s Tonightmares at the Rockefeller Centre in the Big Apple.
The experience features a cast of actors who jump out when least expected, making it a spooky experience. However, it seems there was one awkward moment when an actress playing a zombie fails to know who Harry is. After he walks her by, she is shown asking a colleague, “Who was that?”

At another point in the segment, Harry joked that one of the other actors looked like Canadian crooner Michael Bublé. “Is that Michael Buble? Good job, buddy,” Harry said. At the end of the walk, Harry pretended to throw a punch after being frightened by an actor who popped up behind him.
The segment broadcast on US network NBC saw swear words bleeped out as Harry, who had a camera strapped to his chest, appeared jumpy while wandering through the maze.

At the end of the experience, Harry pretended to throw a punch after being frightened while posing for a picture with Fallon. “Brace yourself for 10 spine-chilling rooms that bring Jimmy’s worst nightmares to life with sinister characters and scares around every corner,” The Tonight Show’s YouTube page said.
His appearance on the TV show comes after he carried out days of engagements on an East Coast trip without wife Meghan Markle during UN General Assembly High-Level Week and Climate Week.
He appeared as a star guest in the Clinton Global Initiative in New York on Tuesday, where he delivered a passionate speech calling for action to tackle the “pervasive threat” the online world poses for children.
“Our kids can’t wait,” he warned while suggesting the harmful effects of social media meant people were being used for a “human experiment” rather than enjoying a “human experience”. The Duke’s Archewell Foundation launched the Parents Network last month as a support network for parents of children affected by online harm.
His appearance on the TV show also comes in the week a US judge ruled his US visa application should remain private despite him admitting taking drugs in his memoir. Harry is set to briefly return to the UK to attend the WellChild annual awards next Monday.
