During the much-anticipated premiere of the Deadpool and Wolverine crossover film, Prince Harry found himself unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
Known for his composed demeanor, the royal was caught off guard when actor Hugh Jackman began playfully ribbing him during a red-carpet interview.
What started as a friendly exchange quickly spiraled into an awkward spectacle that left onlookers stunned.
The encounter kicked off with Jackman greeting Harry in his usual warm fashion, leading to a light-hearted exchange typical of celebrity interactions.
However, the atmosphere shifted dramatically when Jackman made a seemingly innocuous comment about Harry’s choice of attire.
“Nice get up there, Harry.
Going for the disgruntled prince look, are we?” he quipped, igniting a firestorm of tension.
In an instant, Harry’s demeanor transformed.
The jovial prince appeared to bristle at the jest, adopting a more confrontational posture.
Undeterred by the shift in mood, Jackman continued his playful banter, further provoking Harry with remarks like, “Sure, sure, whatever you say, mate.
Although I must admit, the brooding stare is a nice touch.” By this point, Harry’s face had turned a vivid shade of red, and it was clear he was struggling to maintain his composure.
As the teasing escalated, Harry finally erupted, exclaiming, “That’s enough!
I don’t appreciate you mocking me like this.
This is supposed to be a professional interview, not some comedy routine at my expense.” Jackman, seemingly unfazed by the prince’s outburst, shrugged off the tension, responding with a cheeky, “Ew, looks like I’ve struck a nerve.
Sorry, your highness, I didn’t realize you were so sensitive.”
The air was thick with tension as the two celebrities locked eyes, leaving the interview in utter disarray.
Nearby paparazzi and fans watched with bated breath, speculating whether the situation might escalate further.
Sensing the chaos, the interview moderator jumped in, urging everyone to take a breath and redirect the conversation towards the film itself.
However, Harry was having none of it.
“No, I’m done here,” he declared, visibly furious as he turned and stormed away, leaving a smirking Jackman behind.
As he made his exit, Harry brushed past throngs of excited fans, his fury unmistakable.
Reports suggest that backstage, the prince continued to vent his frustrations, expressing outrage to his entourage over Jackman’s perceived disrespect and unprofessionalism.
Sources indicate that Harry was seething, vowing to hold a grudge against the Wolverine star for his behavior.
Meanwhile, Jackman appeared unfazed by the entire debacle.
When questioned about the confrontation later, he shrugged it off with his signature cheeky grin, seemingly enjoying the role of the provocateur in this unexpected drama.
The fallout from this on-camera clash is likely to resonate for some time.
Royal observers are already speculating on how this incident could further strain the relationship between the British monarchy and the Sussexes.
Many are left wondering if this might be the tipping point that leads to an even wider rift.
One thing is certain: Prince Harry’s image as the easy-going royal has taken a significant hit following this public meltdown.
