“I genuinely thought this was the audition for the Gingerbread Prince saves Christmas in Nebraska,” Harry quipped as he walked out onto the stage.

Harry joked he wanted to go into acting because he knew how “obsessed” Americans were with Christmas movies and royalty. Colbert dismissed the claims, which set the Duke of Sussex up for the scripted response.

“Really? I heard you elected a king,” Harry said while boos and groans erupted from the audience.

“That’s a fair point, no, he’s got a point,” Colbert told booing audience members.

“And often making such a big deal about my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather George III,” Harry said about the king of Great Britain at the time of the American Revolution.

The 79-year-old president was again referenced, but never named, when Harry listed what he would do to land a role on Colbert’s fictional Hallmark movie.

“I’ll record a self-tape, I’ll fly myself to an audition, settle a baseless lawsuit with the White House. All the things you people on TV do,” Harry said, referencing CBS’s $16 million settlement with Trump.

“Hey, Harry, I didn’t do any of those things,” Colbert said.

“Maybe that’s why you’re canceled,” Harry shot back.

Trump accused the broadcasting company and “60 Minutes” of deceptively editing an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election.

The then-Republican nominee demanded that the network release the unedited tapes of Harris’ interview, where she gave two different answers to a question about Israel by host Bill Whitaker in clips aired on “60 Minutes” and “Face the Nation.”

CBS and parent company Paramount settled with Trump in July. Weeks later, canceling Colbert’s show, with the host claiming it was because of Trump and not a “financial decision” by the company.

Trump and Harry have been at odds over the past year, as the “Spare” author faced a possible deportation in February over issues with his immigration status.

The self-exiled British royal faced accusations of concealing past illegal drug use that should have disqualified him from obtaining a US visa, but Trump ruled out tossing the royal out of the country.

“I don’t want to do that. I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible,” Trump told The Post in February, referring to Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle.

Trump later took a thinly veiled dig at Harry during his speech at the state banquet at Windsor Castle in September, telling King Charles he raised a “remarkable son,” referring to Prince William and leaving out the estranged younger sibling.

Colbert’s monologue ended with him and Harry in an awkward embrace as fake snow fell on them.
