How Prince Harry landed in hot water with Meghan Markle
Prince Harry shared the anecdote during Tuesday’s episode of ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’.
Prince Harry was a guest on ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ on Tuesday night in what was a follow-up to his appearance on the show last month.
During his appearance, Harry took part in a speed round involving 15 questions, with one of the questions being what his favorite sandwich is.
Harry has to be careful about his verbiage
Harry’s answers managed to confuse Stephen Colbert, as his use of the words “toasty” and “toasting machine”, meaning “grilled sandwich” and “panini press”, resulted in some light-hearted talk between the two.
Harry revealed that he has to be careful about his choice of words given the differences between American English and British English, as it caused issues between him and and his wife.
“The Americanisms to the Britishisms are very different,” said Harry. “Got me and my wife into a lot of trouble at the beginning of our relationship.”
Harry and Colbert went on to discuss other differences, including “pavement” and “sidewalk”, as well as “horse riding” and “horseback riding”.
Harry has been married to Markle since May 2018. During the segment, Colbert asked Harry what his favorite smell was, to which he responded “my wife”.

The segment, which was taped during Harry’s appearance on the show back in January, comes ahead of a virtual event for his memoir, ‘Spare’.
