Harry Styles pokes fun at Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with scathing joke during his SNL monologue after the disgraced ex-Prince was arrested amid Epstein files probe

Harry Styles Targets Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in Scathing SNL Joke After Arrest

Harry Styles launched a pointed critique of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor during his Saturday Night Live monologue, following the ex-Prince’s recent arrest in connection with an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s activities.

Returning to the Spotlight

The 32-year-old musician made a comeback on the NBC show after his latest album claimed the top spot on the charts. His return was marked by a humorous reflection on his prolonged absence from public view, which he described as having transformed him into “a complete bore,” before contrasting it with Andrew’s public downfall.

Andrew’s Scandal and Arrest

Andrew, who had been scrutinized for his association with Jeffrey Epstein, was taken into custody last month on charges of misconduct in public office. The arrest occurred on his 66th birthday, as authorities investigated claims he shared confidential information with Epstein during his tenure as a UK trade envoy. He was held for approximately 10 hours before being released.

“People think I’m interesting just because I’m me. But I don’t do it for attention—I run for the feeling, that runner’s high. It’s honestly incredible,” Styles remarked, before pivoting to a playful jab at Andrew’s situation.

Styles also took aim at politically correct fans who had previously accused him of “queerbaiting,” a tactic where artists suggest same-sex relationships without confirming them. He mocked the term while referencing his own new album, Kiss All the Time.

Queerbaiting and a Flirty Moment

During a segment about his album, Styles humorously acknowledged the title’s double meaning, stating, “What’s better than kissing all the time?” This prompted a lighthearted exchange with cast members Chloe Fineman and Sarah Sherman, as he playfully downplayed the idea of constant kissing.

“Back in 2019, folks focused on my outfits and called me out for queerbaiting,” he said, before delivering a mock dramatic line: “But did it ever cross your mind that you might not know everything about me, Dad?”

Styles then turned to Ben Marshall, locking lips with him in a cheeky moment, and quipped to the camera: “Now that’s real queerbaiting.” The gesture was a nod to his album’s title, while the audience roared with laughter at the playful act.

Public Reaction and Legislative Rumors

The incident sparked speculation that the UK government might push for Andrew’s removal from the line of succession, given the ongoing scandal. Despite his denial of any wrongdoing related to Epstein, the arrest has overshadowed his royal status, leading to his loss of titles.

Styles’ monologue concluded with a final joke, as Marshall playfully challenged him: “Well, you said ‘tight little bum,’ so where’s my kiss?” Styles responded with a grin: “Come on, Ben—everyone knows that thang isn’t little. You’re hauling a damn wagon back there.”
