GB News presenter criticised for Prince Harry joke
GB News host Patrick Christys has come under fire for an interview with royal correspondent Charles Rae about Prince Harry.
The pair were discussing the Duke of Sussex’s opinion of The Crown when the presenter joked it would be hard to choose whether or not he’d shoot James Corden or the Prince with a fake gun.
Patrick commented: “What I find interesting about this was this was just before – I think this flew under the radar a bit for people.
“Just before Harry and Meghan did their Netflix thing, Harry did a thing with James Corden.
“I tell you what… oh gosh. If you had one fake gun and one fake bullet and you lined up Harry and James Corden I don’t know which one you’d go for.”

Charles laughed at the comment as Patrick continued: “And he was saying to him, ‘How do you feel about The Crown?’
“And he said, ‘Well I like The Crown. I don’t mind The Crown, because it’s obviously not real.’
“He was having a pop at people doing news broadcasts and slamming them and presenting certain things as facts.
“And I thought, ‘That’s not really true, is it Harry?’ I mean, it became obvious why he said that shortly afterwards because he signed a multi-million pound deal with Netflix and The Crown is on Netflix.”
GB News viewers were horrified by Patrick’s comments and took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their disgust.

Omid Scobie posted: “Unlike this country’s quality news broadcasters, it seems you can get away with saying just about anything on @GBNews – including sick jokes about wanting to shoot people.
“And people wonder why Prince Harry has been so concerned about his security in the UK.”
Another viewer wrote: “Will @Ofcom act? Or sit on its hands and indulge GB News hate speech yet again? Clear breach of its code. Anyone can complain, only takes a few minutes.”
“This is disgusting,” a third viewer tweeted, while a fourth posted: “@Ofcom this is shameful and dangerous!!”
