Prince Harry urged to 'go home' by Nicki Minaj: 'I love the royal family'
The rapper shared her thoughts on Harry and MeghanPrince Harry has been given a message by rapper Nicki Minaj during a recent podcast interview.
The Starships and Super Bass singer, 43, appeared on the Katie Miller Pod to open up about a range of topics, including her recent appearance with President Trump, her new music, and her family life.
But at one point in the episode, conversation turned to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Nicki had some choice words for Prince Harry, 41.
Nicki Minaj urges Prince Harry to ‘go home’
Speaking to host Katie, Nicki revealed that she’s a fan of watching The Crown on Netflix. The fictional drama tells the story of Queen Elizabeth II and the political and personal events that shaped her reign, inspired by true events.
Katie then asked for Nicki’s “take on Harry and Meghan”. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been at the centre of drama in recent years following their exit from royal life.
Nicki replied: “Well… I think he should go home. Like ET, he should go home. Go phone home and then go home.
“I did not think he should have aired the family’s dirty laundry…”
Playfully doing a British accent, Nicki added: “But that’s just me, darling. I have nothing but love for them.”
She continued: “I just love the royal family as if I know them. But I think us as Americans love the idea of the royal family so much. I was just like… urgh. But people do things and you don’t know why so I don’t judge. But he did what he did.”
What ‘dirty laundry’ did Harry spill?
In early 2020, Harry and Meghan announced their decision to step back from royal duties. They moved to the US to become “financially independent”.
However, in the years that followed, the couple’s tell-all Oprah Winfrey interview in 2021, explosive six-part Netflix series in 2022 and Harry’s memoir, Spare, in 2023 have all included damning allegations and revelations about their time in the monarchy.
Like ET, he should go home. Go phone home and then go home.
In his memoir, Harry alleged his brother, Prince William, physically attacked him in a disagreement over Meghan.
Harry and Meghan’s allegations about the royal family
Meanwhile, in the couple’s Oprah sit-down chat, they alleged that there had been “concerns and conversations” within the royal family about “how dark” their son Archie’s skin would be when he was born.
Meghan said these alleged conversations were had with Harry, and then he relayed them to her.
Meghan and Harry didn’t reveal the identity of the individual as they believed it would be “very damaging to them”.
In response, after the interview aired, Buckingham Palace issued a statement. They said: “The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. Whilst some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.
“Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.”
Harry calls for reconciliation with his family
All the interviews have left their relationship with the royal family strained.
After years of estrangement, last May, Harry admitted he would love a reconciliation with his family.
In September, he met privately with King Charles at the monarch’s London residence Clarence House. It’s unknown what was discussed in the meeting. However, it was seen by some as the first step toward a reconciliation.

Days later, during an interview with The Guardian, Harry defended his tell-all book and interviews.
He said: “The book? It was a series of corrections to stories already out there.
“I don’t believe that I aired my dirty laundry in public. It was a difficult message, but I did it in the best way possible. My conscience is clear.”
