Prince Harry Takes on Jelly Roll’s Tattoo Challenge for Invictus Games Promo
In a new promotional video for the forthcoming Invictus Games, Prince Harry has taken an unexpected leap, embracing a playful moment with country hip-hop sensation Jelly Roll. The clip, which has captured widespread attention online, showcases Harry wincing as Jelly Roll playfully pretends to tattoo “I Am Jelly Roll” on the side of the Duke of Sussex’s neck.
Initially, it appeared that Prince Harry, at 40, was making a bold statement by allowing the 39-year-old singer to mark his skin. However, the surprising stunt was part of a lighthearted skit designed to promote the 2025 Invictus Games in Vancouver.
In the amusing video shared on social media, Prince Harry is seen nervously waiting at East Side Ink Tattoo shop, questioning whether Jelly Roll would arrive soon. As he prepared for the encounter, Harry showcased his comedic chops by inquiring, “This is where people get tattooed, right?”
Not long after, Jelly Roll made a grand entrance, expressing his disbelief that Prince Harry wanted him to give him his first tattoo. The atmosphere turned comical as Harry dismissed the idea of a tattoo, stating, “I can’t get a tattoo!” The interaction took an amusing twist when Harry suggested more discreet locations for a tattoo rather than the neck, saying, “I was thinking my lower back or my a–.”
Ultimately, the two struck a deal: Jelly Roll would perform at the Invictus Games in exchange for tattooing Harry. In a moment of spontaneity, Harry relented, jokingly agreeing to the tattoo, saying, “Alright, screw it. Let’s go.” The light-hearted skit comes on the heels of Prince Harry’s recent solo visit to Vancouver, where he promoted his charity initiative for wounded veterans.
This cheeky promotional video further emphasizes Harry’s growing independence as he continues to champion his charitable causes without the presence of his wife, Meghan Markle, in recent public outings. The combination of humor and heartfelt purpose underscores the significance of the Invictus Games, aimed at supporting those who have served in the military.
