Katherine Ryan has shared her true thoughts on Prince Harry after meeting him at a charity event. Admitting he has been a long-time crush of hers, the Canadian comedian gushed over how "so charming [and] so handsome" he was in real life.
Having previously made several jokes about the Duke of Sussex and his family, the 43-year-old admitted she felt the need to apologise to him. However, she claims he reassured her that he found the jokes funny and encouraged her to make more.
Speaking to Woman magazine, she said: “He was very cool and relaxed about that. He said, ‘You’re the one who tells jokes about me.’ Meghan [Markle] wasn’t there.” At the time, Katherine said she believed Harry had been visiting the UK for a brief trip as King Charles faced health difficulties.
When it was put to her that it was “a big coup” for Harry to recognise her, the comedian said he may have been briefed beforehand — but added that her crush on him “lives on for sure”.
Previously discussing the moment on her Telling Everybody Everything podcast, Katherine gushed over his striking appearance, telling listeners he looked how she imagined him to look "but taller".
"He has a lovely peaceful presence. He’s so dutiful and beautiful,” she continued. “He went all around the room, very confidently.”
Prince Harry, his wife Meghan and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, are thought to be living in the Cotswolds, a celebrity hotspot. The family have reportedly been spotted on a stroll in a park and enjoying a meal at a pub in Oxfordshire.
A pub insider said the couple were not treated differently by staff or other customers.
"Everyone here gets the royal treatment — it doesn’t matter who you are,” they told The Sun. “We’re lucky to get lots of different people visiting us, and everyone is treated like a local. When they visited, Harry and Meghan just acted like locals.”
This comes after Cotswolds resident Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen issued a warning to Meghan about settling into the popular area.
"I think she's going to need to be very genuine," he claimed. "I think that's the big moment here, is that the Cotswold folk can really sniff b******t, you know, they can really sniff when people aren't being who they are."
He also warned Meghan about the "really very steely females" who, he claims, won't extend a warm welcome unless she follows his guidance.
"So I think the Duchess is going to need to not be too much about the airs and graces if she's going to be picking the kids up from the school gates," he added. "I wouldn't want to take them [other Cotswold mums] on, I wouldn't want to p**s them off, I can tell you now."
