'I'm Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex. Just a regular guy with a title who's fifth in line to the throne,' the duke's puppet introduces himself in the episode.

He explains that he got into podcasting because he has no other 'discernible talent.'
After praising Elon Musk for 'the way you've cut the American government down to size,' Harry's puppet quips, 'I'm trying to do the same with my family!'
His life in sunny Montecito, Calif., was also the subject of various digs during the episode — though Harry's wife, Meghan Markle, did not appear.

At one point, the show poked fun at Harry's invented butler making him breakfast each morning.
'Nutrition is important. So Perkins makes me a bacon sandwich in case Meghan has made another one of her rank smoothies,' his puppet says in the clip.
Another jab at the duke saw him admit to taking a 'session with my accountability coach.'

'I think it's important to be honest and transparent. I haven't told Megs about it yet,' the puppet said in the episode.
The show also referenced Harry's bombshell BBC interview in which the duke moaned that his father, King Charles, would no longer speak to him.
At the end of the episode, Harry's puppet is heard asking on the phone, 'Speak directly to me daddy, please?'

Love Island spoiler: Shakira's mum's awkward run-in with Harry after she slammed his behaviour in tense video
Things are about to get a little awks on tonight's episode of Love Island, particularly for Harry Cooksley. Harry recoupled with Shakira Khan on Sunday night's episode after weeks of being with Helena Ford, and now the family and friends are on the way to the villa and Shakira's mum isn't happy. In a recent TikTok video, Shakira's mother Sukina went off on the 30-year-old footballer, calling him a "d***head". She said: "When I think of the villa I just think of a cesspit, it is just a cesspit and she is surrounded by snakes. Sukina, who owns an online tarot reading business, continued: "She will be getting a deep spiritual cleanse when she comes home and I am just going to add this - Harry needs to shut the f*** up about Shakira. "Seriously, the only person that's trying to give life to that little situation is that d***head. There, my love and light slipped for a about as negative as I got, d***head." Ouch! A teaser at the end of Sunday night's show revealed that Monday night's episode (28th July) will see the family and friends visiting. In the clip, Toni's mum could seen entering the villa along with Cach's family as she called out: "Is Toni here?" causing a very surprised Toni to scream from the terrace: "Mum!" as Cach uttered: "Oh s**!" It's now been confirmed that Shakira's mother Sukina is one of the relatives who'll be visiting Shakira in the villa, and judging by that video we're sure she'll have some choice words for Harry. Last week, Harry revealed he wasn't completely over Shakira and wanted to revisit things after weeks of being in a couple with Helena and going exclusive. Helena then learned of his true feelings during The Grafties as his behaviour was broadcast on the screen for all the Love Island 2025 cast to see. As a result, she decided to call things off, and Harry chatted to Shakira about rekindling their relationship. While Shakira wasn't convinced, a daytime recoupling on Sunday's episode saw the boys having to choose who they wanted to couple up with and Harry picked Shakira, saying: "I'd like to couple up with this girl because she possesses qualities I see in a longterm partner. I think I've sat on a lot of feelings and buried a lot of my emotions recently and two conversations brought that back to the surface. I think I've disappointed myself, I've disappointed people in here. "I know I'm not perfect, I'll never pretend to be, but I wanna be a better person for myself and for this girl. I know she doesn't believe a word that I say right now, but I want her to know that the feelings have always been there, I was just trying to ignore them. As I said to this girl yesterday, I'm either leaving here alone or I'm leaving with her." Well if Shakira's mum has anything to do with it, Harry, you, could very well be leaving the villa alone... New episodes of Love Island air on ITV2 weekdays and Sundays.

Even Joe Rogan thinks South Park's mocking of Donald Trump was funny: ‘There's so much madness'
Joe Rogan could barely keep it together as he described South Park's scathing season premiere that depicted Donald Trump in bed with Satan. The podcasting heavyweight kicked off his latest episode of the Joe Rogan Experience with former CIA officer Mike Baker by diving into the show's takedown of the president – and the wider 'chaos' engulfing his administration. 'There's so much chaos, so much madness,' Rogan said on Friday. 'Did you see the South Park episode... They did a Donald Trump one with Satan.' Just days after sealing a $1.5 billion deal with Paramount, South Park kicked off its 27th season on Wednesday with 'Sermon of the Mount.' It featured a cartoon Trump – with a real photo of his face – cuddling in bed with the figure of Satan, who comments on the size of his manhood. The episode also took a jab at the recent cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Trump's latest string of lawsuits, including his legal battle with Paramount over the editing of an interview with former vice president Kamala Harris. 'It's f***ing hilarious,' Rogan continued, bursting into fits of laughter, adding they have reached the 'highest level of not giving a f***.' 'It's the greatest show of all time,' he said. After endorsing Trump in the 2024 election, Rogan has expressed growing frustration towards the president and his administration's activity. He has called the recent spate of Immigration Customs Enforcement raids on migrant workers 'insane' and 'horrific' and said that the Justice Department is treating the U.S. public like 'babies' over the Trump administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. After the episode aired, an administration source told Deadline that Trump had been left 'seething over the childish attack.' White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers described South Park as a 'fourth-rate' show that was 'hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention.' 'President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history – and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak,' he said. With mock sincerity, Trey Parker shot back at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday and joked that he and co-creator Matt Stone were 'terribly sorry.' He revealed that the final episode was completed just three days before airing, and that it took four days to decide against blurring Trump's penis in one of the more outrageous scenes.
