Last week, Prince Harry traveled to New York City to appear as a guest on "Live with Kelly and Ryan."
On the surface, it seemed like a routine, friendly chat to promote his upcoming memoir. However, the interview took an unexpected turn, thanks to NFL legend and co-host Michael Strahan. Sources reveal that behind the scenes, Strahan grilled Harry with such intense questions that the Duke was visibly shaken by the end.
Typically, these morning show interviews are light-hearted and fun, but Strahan had a different plan. He was determined to uncover the truth behind the ongoing rumors surrounding Harry and Meghan's controversial exit from the royal family, often referred to as "Megxit." Strahan, known for his hard-hitting interviews from his days as a football commentator, was well-prepared for this challenge. While the audience expected a simple promotional interview, Strahan was ready to dig deep and test Harry's royal composure.
As soon as the cameras started rolling, Strahan began with tough, pointed questions. One notable moment was when he asked, "So tell me, Harry, there's still a lot of speculation—did the Royals really reject Archie because of his skin color, as your wife claimed?" Harry's demeanor changed visibly as he struggled to respond with his rehearsed PR answers. Strahan pressed him harder with each response, aiming to uncover the unvarnished truth.
At one point, when Harry avoided a question about ongoing tensions with his family, Strahan reportedly quipped, "Come on now, Your Highness, we both know your book is going to spill all the real piping hot royalty, so you may as well start giving us a preview right here." By this time, Harry was sweating profusely, visibly uncomfortable under the intense questioning. He had never faced such a direct and forceful line of questioning on live TV, especially without the support of his handlers and palace aides.
Strahan's interrogation continued to escalate. Each of Harry's attempts to deflect was met with even more probing questions, designed to leave him speechless. Even the typically composed Kelly Ripa was left open-mouthed in astonishment. The climax of the interview came when Strahan confronted Harry about rumors that senior royals had cooperated with the authors of "Finding Freedom" to control the narrative around "Megxit." Once again, Harry attempted to dodge, but Strahan wouldn't let up, hinting that a different version of events might soon come to light.
As the credits rolled, sources say Prince Harry was visibly shaken, likened to a "scared puppy with his tail between his legs." Strahan had to walk over and offer comforting pats on the back to calm him down from the intense grilling. The internet is still buzzing about Strahan's masterful interrogation, with even Kelly and Ryan whispering afterward about how they had never seen a guest so rattled.
Kudos to Strahan for cutting through the palace PR and getting to the answers people have been seeking for years. The lesson here is never to underestimate a professional like Strahan when he senses an opportunity to uncover the truth. Harry was clearly unprepared for the level of scrutiny an elite athlete like Strahan could bring, and thanks to this interview, we may finally start getting some long-overdue answers.
