Joe Rogan, the controversial podcast host and comedian, took aim at Prince Harry in his latest Netflix comedy special, “Burn the Boats,” ridiculing the Duke of Sussex for his past criticism regarding COVID-19 misinformation allegedly spread on Rogan’s Spotify show.

Rogan, known for his unfiltered and often provocative humor, recounted the moment he discovered Prince Harry was criticizing him on television. “I got canceled so often during COVID that sometimes I would find out by accident,” Rogan joked during his live stand-up performance. He humorously recalled how he was caught off guard one morning when he turned on the TV, still half-asleep, only to see Prince Harry “talking s–t” about him.

Rogan, 57, didn’t hold back, mimicking Harry’s British accent and recounting the Duke’s comments on Rogan’s alleged vaccine misinformation. “He’s like, ‘Joe Rogan is giving out dangerous vaccine misinformation.’ And my first thought was, ‘F–k. Did I?’” Rogan quipped, playing to the audience’s laughter.

The comedian then took the bit further, imagining a scenario where he and Prince Harry were under the influence of psychedelic mushrooms, pondering the safety of COVID-19 vaccines. “Could you imagine doing mushrooms with Prince Harry? You imagine if you could trick that guy into doing mushrooms with you,” Rogan said, painting a vivid picture of a tripping Prince Harry doubting his own stance on vaccines.

Rogan’s jabs come after a history of public tension between the two. In April 2021, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, expressed their displeasure with Rogan after he claimed that healthy young people didn’t need to bother getting a COVID-19 vaccine, a statement that contradicted the advice of the CDC and medical experts. The couple, who had a reported $25 million deal with Spotify, voiced their concerns about the spread of COVID-19 misinformation on the platform, indirectly pointing fingers at Rogan’s popular podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

“Last April, our co-founders began expressing concerns to our partners at Spotify about the all too real consequences of COVID-19 misinformation on its platform,” the Sussexes said in a statement via an Archewell spokesperson. They called for changes to the platform to address what they described as a public health crisis.

Despite the Sussexes’ concerns, Rogan’s influence on Spotify remained strong. The backlash against Rogan led musicians like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell to remove their music from the platform in protest. However, Spotify chose to stand by Rogan, even signing him to a massive $250 million deal in February.

As of now, neither Prince Harry nor his representatives have responded to Rogan’s latest jabs in his Netflix special. The ongoing tension between the Sussexes and Rogan highlights the broader debate over free speech, misinformation, and the responsibilities of public figures in the digital age.
