Prince Harry was reportedly pranked by a pair of Russian YouTubers who claimed to be Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg.
According to The Sun, Alexei Stolyarov and Vladimir Kuznetsov called the Duke of Sussex twice and asked him about his and Meghan Markle’s bombshell exit as well as his thoughts on President Donald Trump.
In the past, the Russian YouTube stars have also pranked the likes of Elton John, Bernie Sanders, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The Duke of Sussex first discussed his decision to quit the royal family alongside his wife and said that it wasn’t an easy choice that they made in January. But Prince Harry stood by his previous statement that quitting is what’s best for him, Markle, and their 10-month-old son, Archie.
“And I think there’s a hell of a lot of people around the world that can identify and respect us for putting our family first. But, yeah, it’s a tricky one, but we will start a new life,” he said.
Prince Harry went on to about his military background, which became the focus of his life for 10 years.
“You forget, I was in the military for ten years so I’m more normal than my family would like to believe. But certainly, being in a different position now gives us the ability to say things and do things that we might not have been able to do,” he said.
According to Political Flare, Prince Harry poured his heart out because he thought he was talking to Thunberg and the activist’s father. He also condemned the POTUS’s fossil fuel policy.
“I think the mere fact that Donald Trump is pushing the coal industry is so big in America, he has blood on his hands. Because the effect that has on the climate and the island nations far, far away, again out of sight out of mind. But we’ve visited those places and I’m sure you have as well. People’s lives have been completely destroyed. People are dying every single month by some form of the natural disaster created from this huge change in our climate,” he said.
In 2016, Markle also criticized the president by calling him misogynistic.
