The 57-year-old comedian and podcast host said that he found out Harry was “talking s***” about him one morning while he was in his underwear and vulnerable.

“I got canceled so often during COVID that sometimes I would find out by accident. This is a true story. One time, I just woke up. I’m in my underwear. I plop down in front of the TV, I turn it on, and Prince Harry’s talking s*** about me. I’m, like, I just woke up. I’m vulnerable. I’m in my underwear, and there is a prince on TV,” Rogan said.

“Do you know how f****** weird it is when a prince knows your name? He’s, like, ‘Joe Rogan’s giving out dangerous vaccine misinformation.’ And my first thought was, ‘F***! Did I?’ I might have….”

Regalrumination.com approached representatives of Prince Harry via email for comment.

“I’m not even mad at Harry. If I was him, I would have said the same s***. I get it. If I met that dude, I’d love to have a drink with him… I think, if I met that dude, I’d be, like, ‘I’m not mad at you; in fact, I think if I lived your life, I would be you, and I think, if you lived my life, you would be me. I think we’re all one. Let’s have a drink, relax, have a couple of cocktails, have a good time.’ Like most of us, right?”

Rogan then added the punchline, saying: “And the goal would be get him about three drinks deep and then go, ‘Hey, man, you ever do mushrooms?'”

Rogan went on to ask: “Could you imagine doing mushrooms with Prince Harry? You imagine if you could trick that guy into doing mushrooms with you.” He then said that, when the hypothetical trip hit the prince, he would “hover over him and say: ‘Are you sure vaccines are safe?” B****, you’re not a scientist.'”
