Jon Stewart Targets Prince Harry During 2023 Stand Up For Heroes Event: I Could Use Your Face To Thaw My Steak In The Very Least — And It Brought The House Down — But Also An Eye-Roll Level Of Impeccable Brutal Humor At Snitch Game Stewart, who has built a reputation for taking no prisoners when it comes to divisive characters, didn't pull any punches and started off on a bit about the Prince's controversial behavior as well as the recent reaction towards his life in the public eye.
As the crowd at the benefit for U.S. veterans had gathered, Stewart took a moment to bring attention to Harry's continued participation in royal and personal scandals that are ongoing. But it wasn’t just the typical royal jab that Stewart went for. In an unexpected twist, he turned his attention to the $1 million donation Harry had made to veterans’ causes earlier this year, sarcastically demanding that Harry “return veterans’ money” — claiming it was a “publicity stunt” rather than a sincere philanthropic effort.
"Hey Harry, I know you’ve been busy selling your memoirs and making headlines, but could you please return the money you promised to veterans? We don’t want your handouts. We want real support!" Stewart quipped, sending the audience into fits of laughter.
The comedian’s take was sharp but not without reason. Many have criticized Harry's public endeavors as being more about personal branding and less about actual, sustained charity work. Stewart’s remarks, though comedic, pointed to a larger narrative about Harry's struggles to distance himself from the royal spotlight while still attempting to remain a part of the royal legacy.
As the crowd laughed, some could feel the discomfort in the air as Stewart continued to roast the prince. His relentless humor left Harry’s recent initiatives under scrutiny, with many questioning whether the Duke’s actions were truly aligned with his noble intentions or merely a response to personal PR needs.
Stewart’s comedic takedown adds to the growing criticism Harry faces from public figures, who view his royal exit and subsequent ventures with skepticism. As the Duke of Sussex continues to navigate his new life outside the royal family, his reputation is increasingly challenged — even by those within his own circle of supporters.
In the end, Jon Stewart’s savage set at *Stand Up For Heroes* reminded everyone that even the most untouchable celebrities are not immune to the sharp barbs of comedy. Prince Harry might have been the target this time, but as always, the larger question remains: how will the Duke of Sussex respond to these public jabs, and will they impact his future endeavors?
