‘You grew up in a palace… give it a rest, bro’: Today host Karl Stefanovic BLASTS ‘whining’ Prince Harry after his explosive interview slamming his father Charles and comparing royal life to the Truman Show
Straight-talking Today host Karl Stefanovic has unleashed on Prince Harry after the royal complained about his privileged life in another self-serving interview.
Stefanovic, 46, blasted the Duke of Sussex for ‘whining about his childhood’ despite literally growing up in a palace – and then sensationally claimed the prince ‘looked happier’ during his partying years before his met wife Meghan Markle.
The Nine presenter, who has been called Australia’s answer to Piers Morgan, called out Harry while discussing his appearance on Dax Shepard’s ‘Armchair Expert’ podcast on Thursday – during which the prince, 36, made a series of damaging claims about his family and the ‘genetic pain’ he’d supposedly been subjected to.

The segment began with Stefanovic pointing out that Meghan and Harry, who have a hostile relationship with the British press, had chosen Los Angeles – the paparazzi capital of the world – as the place to raise their young family.
‘Good that he got away from the prying press in the UK,’ he said wryly.
When Stefanovic’s co-host Allison Langdon said ‘you have got to take the mental health stuff seriously’, he clarified that he did take mental health seriously, but still felt that Harry needed a reality check.
‘Of course, Ally, but I’m just saying it’s ridiculous how he keeps whining about his childhood. He grew up in privilege – in a palace,’ he said.
‘I mean, just give it a rest, bro.’

As the Today show broadcast various photos from Harry’s twenties – when he was known for his partying and rebellious nature, in contrast to his strait-laced older brother, Prince William – Stefanovic couldn’t resist taking another swipe.
‘He looked happier, too, when he was partying in Vegas, I’m just saying,’ he remarked, hinting the prince has lost some of his joie de vivre since marrying American actress Meghan.
‘He did look pretty happy there, didn’t he?’ replied Langdon.
More to come.
