During a savage roast at the Stand Up For Heroes gala, Jon Stewart blasted Prince Harry, urging the Duke of Sussex to relinquish his role as Invictus Games ambassador. The roast of a lifetime, indeed — the annual charity event raising money for veterans took an unexpected turn as Stewart unleashed a slew of potshots at Harry during his appearance at the veterans' fundraiser, poking fun at everything from Harry's controversial departure from royal life to what he's been up to since moving to the U.S.

Stewart, who specializes in savage comedy, ripped into the prince one memorable line at a time — even apparently suggesting his leadership of the Invictus Games may be ill-advised given how prominent he's become with the controversy those stupid royals headlined them. "Maybe it’s time Harry does what he's best at—quit," Stewart joked, referencing the Duke’s departure from royal duties and his series of high-profile public disputes.
The audience, filled with military veterans and their families, erupted in laughter, but the tension in the room was palpable, especially considering Harry's long-standing involvement with the event. Stewart, a vocal advocate for veterans, made it clear that while he supports the mission of the Invictus Games, he feels Harry's involvement has become more of a distraction than a benefit to the cause.
The roast took an even sharper turn as Stewart continued to question Harry's motivations, joking about his "incredibly important" role in the U.S. and asking, "Why don’t you just focus on your Netflix documentaries and leave the veterans to those who actually care?"
The comments quickly made headlines, sparking discussions across social media about the Duke’s future with the Invictus Games. While many supported Stewart’s critique, others were more sympathetic toward Harry, pointing out the challenges of navigating life after royal duties.
As the night wrapped up, the moment became a viral sensation, with Stewart’s remarks prompting debates about Prince Harry's role in the royal family, his charitable work, and whether his position with the Invictus Games can survive this latest public roasting.
