The unprovoked statements against the Duke of Sussex came as Mulaney discussed Harry and Meghan Markle’s exit from the royal family.</p>

<p id=”par-3_43″>“You know it’s weird, right, that Meghan and Harry left?” he said. Mulaney added, “You thought rolling with those dorks in church clothes would be fun? Had you been told it was non-stop laughs? Because you’re thinking of <em>The Munsters</em>, you silly goose.”</p>

<p id=”par-4_26″>The comedian called Prince Harry, “The real dunce of this fairytale. You dumb ginger, don’t leave your title just because you don’t like your 94-year-old grandma.”</p>
