Graham Norton has candidly admitted he would have Prince Harry on his famous sofa as a guest on his TV chat show. Gracing the red carpet at the National Television Awards 2025 on Wedenesday evening, Graham spoke to reporters about the celebrities he had never had on his show.
Speaking to reality TV stars Pete Wicks and Sam Thompson, the TV presenter and chat show host, wearing a dark jacket embellished with sequin patterns, explained: “Brad Pitt, we’ve never had. He’s on my list.” Sam followed up by asking, “Any royals?”, with Graham adding: “We’d love a little royal.” Pushing for an answer, Pete quickly asked: “If you could pick a royal, which one would you pick?” Graham replied: “I’d quite like a rebel. So I would quite like a Harry.”
While Harry hasn’t made an appearance on Graham’s famed BBC sofa as of yet, the Duke of Sussex is no stranger to talk shows.
Harry appeared on American late-night television with host Stephen Colbert to promote his memoir, Spare in January 2023.
The memoir detailed the Duke’s life within and after the Royal Family and alleged feud with his brother, Prince William, as well as his pain in the years following his mother’s death and how he killed Taliban fighters while serving in Afghanistan.
More intimate details were also revealed, including drug-taking and when Prince Harry lost his virginity.
Prince Harry surprised viewers by appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, where he was filmed while going through a haunted maze called “Jimmy Fallon’s Tonightmares” at Rockefeller Centre in New York City in September 2024.
Prince Harry’s four-day trip to the UK this week saw him visit several charities and organisations, as well as finally meet up again with King Charles, raising the prospect of a more lasting reconciliation between the father and son.
After visiting a charity in Nottingham, The Duke of Sussex announced he had also made a personal donation of £1.1million to a BBC Children in Need project in the city supporting young people who have been affected by violence.
The prince hoped the donation, from his own money rather than his Archewell organisation, would help “changemakers in the city continue their mission to create safe spaces… and offer hope and belonging to young people who need it most”.
