Harry Styles’ swipe at Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on SNL
Singer Harry didn’t hold back during his opening monologue on Saturday night.
During his monologue, Harry referenced his lengthy stay away from the spotlight, describing it as “tremendously boring”.
“I took up jogging. There’s nothing interesting about that. But because I’m me, people pretend to find that interesting. I don’t run to be interesting. I do it for the feeling it gives me, that runner’s high. It’s just amazing,” he said.
“Watermelon sugar high, runner’s high. And if that doesn’t do it for you, I also love ecstasy. As a British man who spent a lot of his life in the public eye, I can assure you, there’s something nice about being boring. It’s better than the alternative,” he then said.
It was at this moment, a picture of Andrew in the back of a police car following his arrest last month was shown, drawing laughter and gasps from the audience.

Files related to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were released in January by the US Justice Department. The files appeared to show that Andrew may have passed on confidential information to Epstein during his role as the UK’s Special Representative for International Trade and Investment back in 2010.
Following his shock arrest, Andrew was detained for 11 hours before being released under investigation.
The king was in full support of the arrest. In a statement at the time, he said: “I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities.”
“In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course. As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter,” he then said.
“Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all.”
New images of Andrew released
Harry’s jibe at Andrew comes just days after a new photo of the disgraced royal has been uncovered.
In the disturbing photo, Andrew appears to be sitting around a table with Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Mandelson.
Andrew and Mandelson appear to be wearing bathrobes in the image, which was found by ITV News.
It is the first known photograph of the three men together. It has been released by the US Department of Justice and is part of the Epstein files.
At this time, it is unclear when the image was taken.
It’s understood that the photograph was taken at Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.
Each individual has a mug with the US flag printed upon it in front of them.
No context has been supplied for the photograph. Andrew’s representatives are yet to comment. Being pictured or named in the Epstein files does not necessarily indicate wrongdoing.
