Australia’s Today show host, Karl Stefanovic, recently delivered a sharp and colorful commentary on Prince Harry‘s ongoing struggles, showcasing his knack for humor while addressing serious matters.
As King Charles charmed the crowds during his royal tour, Karl couldn’t help but take a playful jab at Harry’s tumultuous life, bringing his signature wit to the airwaves.
The royal tour wasn’t without its drama.
Victorian Senator Lydia Thorpe made headlines by heckling King Charles, causing quite a scene.
Her fiery outburst lasted almost a minute, prompting security to intervene.
In the midst of this chaos, Karl stood up for the monarch, asserting that despite any personal feelings towards him, the king deserves some understanding.
“Look, you don’t have to like the king, but give him a break,” he quipped.
Karl empathized with King Charles, recognizing the emotional toll that Harry’s ongoing feud with his brother, Prince William, must have on their father.
He noted, “His youngest son’s out there fighting with the good son, and as a parent, that has to hurt.” The situation is even more complicated given that Prince William’s wife is battling cancer, adding to the king’s burdens during this challenging time.
Despite these personal trials, King Charles remained committed to his royal duties in Australia, engaging warmly with the public.
Karl emphasized the king’s affection for the country and its people, saying, “He loves this country and the people here.” Yet, amidst this warm reception, Lydia Thorpe was making headlines for her outburst, dressed in what Karl dubbed the “Lydia Thorpe special.”
In a moment that showcased King Charles’s calm demeanor, he managed to keep his composure when faced with an unexpected encounter with an alpaca.
As Karl recounted, “The king goes outside, meets an alpaca, and boom, it spits on him.” Instead of reacting negatively, the king simply smiled and continued to engage with those around him, earning Karl’s respect.
Karl then shifted his focus to Harry and Meghan, imagining how the couple would react in such a situation.
“Now, imagine if Harry and Meghan were in that situation,” he mused.
“They’d probably write a heartfelt essay about how the alpaca bullied them and how they’re always dealing with traumatic encounters.” This humorous speculation highlighted the stark contrast between the royal couple’s reactions and those of King Charles.
In true Karl fashion, he concluded his segment with a light-hearted jab at Harry’s mental state.
He suggested that Harry’s metaphorical cheese had indeed fallen off its cracker, visualizing it as “some sad, plastic-wrapped, fake cheese.” This cheeky analogy underscored the perceived disconnect between Harry and the realities of life.
