Prince Harry is getting a tattoo! The Duke of Sussex was filmed ‘getting ink’ in skit while promoting the Invictus Games with American singer Jelly Roll

Prince Harry appeared in a skit in which he was tattooed by American music star Jelly Roll as part of his preparations for the Invictus Games in Canada.

In the footage, shot at New York tattoo parlor East Side Ink, the 40-year-old Duke of Sussex squeals as he sits on a chair and gets fake ink during the skit.

The lighthearted clip, thought to have been shot in September, begins with Prince Harry meeting country superstar Jelly Roll at a Lower East Side tattoo parlor.

An excited Jelly Roll tells the Duke: ‘Do you know I couldn’t believe it when they rang me and told me Prince Harry wanted a tattoo today and they wanted me to give him his first tattoo?’

But a shocked Harry immediately responds: ‘No, no, no, why are you wearing gloves?’ and the singing star says: ‘We’re getting you a tattoo of the Invictus Games.’

‘No, I came here to ask you to take part in the Invictus Games,’ explains a surprised Harry. ‘This one has no tattoos. ‘I can’t get a tattoo.’

But Jelly Roll immediately agreed and said: ‘I will play the Invictus Games. ‘Let me give you your first tattoo.’ Finally Harry is convinced and responds: ‘Okay, fuck it. Let’s go! Let’s do it. Where do you want it from?’

“We should focus on our necks,” the singer insists in the entertaining clip. But the royal suggests: ‘Neck? I was thinking like my lower back or my ass.’

‘No, no one wants to see your ass, Harry,’ Jelly Roll quickly retorts, adding: ‘For this world.’ I think like this, let me show you.’

The singer then ‘tattoos’ the Invictus Games logo and her name on the prince, to which a shocked Harry says: ‘You put your name on my neck… are you serious? ‘Oh shit.’

The title of the video shared by the tournament account on X read: ‘The most… signed agreement in the history of the Invictus Games.
