Prince Harry has revealed he was bullied at school because of his ginger hair, with former England prop Joe Marler struggling to keep a straight face during the candid exchange on his podcast.
The Duke of Sussex appeared on the Joe Marler Will See You Now podcast, where he was asked what people most often get wrong about him.
With a smile, Harry replied: "That I'm not ginger."
Marler immediately interrupted: "Hang on, hang on, hang on, people get that wrong?"
Harry doubled down on the joke, insisting: "Yeah, people think I'm ginger, but I'm more sort of like... sunset auburn."
The comment sparked laughter around the studio, prompting Harry to ask: "I don't know why that's funny."
Co-host Jake Bhardwaj stepped in, joking: "Can we not laugh at the Duke, please?"
Harry then explained that his hair colour had been the subject of teasing throughout his childhood.
"Unless you want to call me ginge. I got bullied a lot at school, called carrot top."
Marler attempted to sympathise but couldn't contain his laughter, replying: "I don't know why they would... not funny. It's not funny." The former England international then covered his face as he tried to stop laughing.
Harry took the moment in good spirits, joking: "I'm going to need therapy after this."
Later in the podcast, Harry was asked whether he would swap lives for a day with Harry Styles, Harry Kane or Harry Potter.
The Duke chose England captain Harry Kane, but only under one condition.
"Kane on a winning day. You don't want to be Kane on a losing day, do you?" he said, before adding that he remains convinced England will eventually win the FIFA World Cup.
