  • Ryan Reynolds just poked fun at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during an episode of his game show, Don’t.

  • Ryan and host Adam Scott laughed about one of the questions in the episode.


Leave it to Ryan Reynolds to make Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal exit the butt of a joke. During the Don’t Get Tired segment in the July 9 episode of his game show, Don’t, there was an outdated question that caused some laughter between producer Ryan and host Adam Scott.

“Meghan Markle went from Suits to crowns after she married into the royal family,” Adam read. The camera then panned away so he could tweak the second part of the question. “Before she resigned, what was her official title?” he asked.

He read four possible answers: “Was it (A) Countess of Cambridge, (B) Duchess of Wessex, (C) Duchess of Cornwall, or (D) Duchess of Sussex?” That’s when Ryan joked, “Or (E) We taped this show seven months ago.” Awkward.

The contestants still guessed the incorrect answer (guess not everyone keeps up with royal news). They chose Duchess of Cornwall, which, of course, is so very wrong. Prince Charles’s wife, Camilla, holds that title. While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle remain the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, they prefer to be called Harry and Meghan.

According to the Daily Mail, during a summit in Edinburgh, host Ayesha Hazarika told the audience: “He’s made it clear that we are all just to call him Harry. So ladies and gentlemen, please give a big, warm, Scottish welcome to Harry.”

Meghan and Harry revealed in January that they would be giving up their senior royal duties in favor of living and working in North America. They currently reside in Los Angeles with their adorable son, Archie, and are dedicated to living a normal life.
