Prince Harry made an unannounced appearance at a business gathering in Los Angeles – and was filmed during his speech to guests, making yet another jibe at the expense of Donald Trump
Prince Harry has cracked yet another joke at the expense of Donald Trump – this time about his immigration policy. It has emerged that the latest jibe at the US president came just 48 hours after he also poked fun at him during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Harry made the comments as he appeared at a meeting of the British American Business Council (BABC) in Santa Monica. He addressed the organisation’s 65th anniversary lunch, on the same day Mr Trump attended the 2026 World Cup draw in Washington DC. Referencing the fact that both England and Scotland have qualified for next year’s tournament, which will be staged in the US, Canada and Mexico, he said: “Next year, I know we are looking forward to welcoming more Brits from across the pond.”

But he added: “Provided they behave, and if they make it through customs, and past ICE,” sparking laughter from the audience. He continued: “The British are coming, hungry for victory and they’re thirsty.”
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the United States has found itself in the headlines in the US in recent weeks after Mr Trump launched an anti-immigration crackdown, with ICE officers ramping up raids across the country. Last week, Harry appeared in a comedy sketch that aired on US TV, playing himself as he auditions to become a Hallmark movie “ Christmas Prince” that also mocked Mr Trump.
In the segment, the duke wandered through the studio, joking that he had become lost while searching for an audition for the “Gingerbread Christmas Prince saves Christmas in Nebraska”. Colbert asks why a real prince would want to star in such films, prompting Harry to reply: “You Americans are obsessed with Christmas movies, and you’re clearly obsessed with royalty, so why not?”
When Colbert pushed back on the idea of an American “obsession,” Harry quipped: “Really? I hear you elected a king,” in an apparent reference to the “No Kings” protests directed at the Trump administration.
Harry has long been berated by Trump since he and Meghan took the dramatic decision to quit as working royals and move to the United States more than four years ago.
Back in 2020, at the time of the US election campaign between Mr Trump and Joe Biden, the Sussexes appeared in a video urging Americans to ‘vote against hate speech’.
While they did not specifically mention anyone by name, the remarks were interpreted as referring to Mr Trump and therefore, an endorsement of Mr Biden, with some claiming it was a breach of the Sandringham Summit agreement, which was written up when the couple quit their royal duties in 2020. Later, Mr Trump spoke out, saying he was “no fan” of Meghan. Meanwhile, earlier this year, Harry found himself in the centre of a row over his visa, which allows him to live in California.
After admitting to using marijuana, cocaine and psychedelic mushrooms in his controversial memoir Spare, a lawsuit from the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation argued that the US Government should release records about the Duke’s US visa application to show whether his drug use was disclosed.
Back in February, Trump ruled out deporting Harry, he took a brutal dig at Harry’s wife, Meghan, saying: “I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.” Harry appeared to hit back during a speech at the Invictus Games day later by criticising the “weak moral character in the world “.
