The Duke of Sussex wins over Americans with a playful imitation during Hasan Minhaj’s podcast
Prince Harry gave fans a good laugh during his appearance on Hasan Minhaj Doesn’t Know on October 29, when he gamely tried out an American accent at the host’s request.
During the light-hearted exchange, Hasan asked the Duke of Sussex if he could mimic an American accent. “Which part of America?” Harry asked, before Hasan replied, “Anywhere,” and gave him a line to read: “I ordered breadsticks with ranch dressing at Applebee’s.”
Harry tried, laughed, and asked Hasan to repeat it before finally giving it a go. “That was decent,” Hasan said with a grin, while Harry joked that he was “just sitting here sweating.” When the host followed up with another line — “Hey, do you like my Cybertruck?” — Harry played along, prompting laughter from the crew.
“The laughter’s encouraging… or is it mocking me? I’m not sure,” Harry teased before adding a confident “Come on, y’all” in his best Southern drawl. Hasan then challenged him to top it off with a “yee-haw,” and Harry obliged enthusiastically.
Since moving to California in 2020 with Meghan Markle, Harry has embraced parts of American life. When asked what the “most American thing” he does now is, he said, “Surf — though I’m not sure if that’s American or just Californian.”
Beyond the laughs, the two also discussed more serious topics, including Harry’s ongoing work with the Parents’ Network, which supports families affected by social media harms.
