Ginger Prince Formally abdicates 'Best Harry' Throne to Gucci-Clad Pop Icon

The Duke of Sussex officially accepts his status as the second-most influential man with a messy bun and a British passport.

It’s official, babes. The hierarchy has been reshuffled and no one had to sign a single royal decree. Prince Harry hopped on a bus with James Corden to confirm what we’ve suspected since 'Watermelon Sugar' dropped: Harry Styles is the supreme Harry of the United Kingdom. Our favorite Californian expatriate Duke basically admitted he’s now the backup singer in the grand boy band of British exports. While the Ginger One is busy doing podcasting and polo, Styles is out here wearing feather boas and making the entire world collectively lose its mind. The Prince didn’t even put up a fight! He just handed over the crown—the metaphorical one, obviously—while cruising through LA. It’s a humble era for the Sussexes, apparently. From Royal Highness to 'the other one who isn't dating a movie star this week.' Honestly, the self-awareness is refreshing. Usually, royals think they’re the main character in every room, even when they’re just there to cut a ribbon on a community garden. But Harry knows when he's been out-shined by a pair of high-waisted trousers and a pearl necklace. We’re just waiting for the official rebranding. Maybe he can change his name to Prince Harold to avoid confusion when the tour dates drop? Next up, we’re expecting a formal statement from Prince William admitting that literally anyone with a guitar is more popular than a future king. It’s a tough year for the Firm, but a great year for people who like sparkly jumpsuits and catchy hooks. Long live the King of Pop!
