In his Christmas holiday social media message, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak playfully poked fun at Prince Harry, drawing inspiration from the movie "Home Alone."
The video, titled "Merry Christmas from Downing Street," garnered attention for its clever humor and depiction of the UK leader's lighthearted moments. In the video, Sunak finds himself "Home Alone" at his desk at 10 Downing Street, practicing bowling with stacked cans of Coca-Cola and indulging in a plate of spaghetti with maple syrup, all while enjoying the holiday movie "Elf."
The twist comes when Sunak answers the phone, informing someone named Harry that they've reached the wrong number. Social media erupted in debate over whether this was a subtle jab at Prince Harry or Harry Cole, the Sun newspaper's political editor.
Despite the ambiguity, the video gained praise for its delightful sense of humor, with some even comparing it to the movie "Love Actually," where Hugh Grant portrays a British prime minister dancing in the empty halls of 10 Downing Street.
The online discussion focused on whether Sunak intended to throw shade at Prince Harry or the Sun newspaper's political editor, as "wrong number Harry" became a trending topic. Fans lauded Sunak for his clever video, appreciating the British penchant for subtle humor and public jest.
Royal expert Neil Shaw revealed that Rishi Sunak's dig at Harry was precisely aimed at Prince Harry, stemming from a public insult Harry directed at the government six months ago. This perceived retaliation was deemed brilliant by some, highlighting the ongoing tension.
The criticism of Harry's work ethic gained traction, with commentator Daniela Elsa pointing out the Duke's attendance at concerts and talk shows while allegedly working only half a day per month in 2023.
Elsa cited the Archewell financial impact report and sarcastically mentioned Harry's various leisure activities, questioning the depth of his behind-the-scenes work for the Archewell foundation. The focus on Harry and Megan's 40x40 video and the quiet co-star aspect added another layer to the ongoing discussion.
