Comedian Jimmy Carr Faces Backlash for Comparing Prince Harry to Kanye West

News summary

British comedian Jimmy Carr sparked controversy by comparing Prince Harry to rapper Kanye West during a stand-up routine, saying both had 'dressed up' as Nazis and 'f***ed up.' Carr referenced Prince Harry's 2005 incident wearing a Nazi costume to a fancy dress party and Kanye West's more recent antisemitic remarks, despite West's claim of renouncing such views. The joke, shared on Carr's Instagram with 2.5 million followers, drew mixed reactions, with some praising the humor as sharp satire and others defending Prince Harry, highlighting the ongoing public sensitivity around both figures. Carr's comparison came in response to an audience question about his preference between Prince William and Prince Harry, emphasizing a clear favoritism. The comedian, known for provocative humor and past controversies including tax avoidance allegations, continues to maintain a lucrative career with significant earnings from TV deals and tours. Meanwhile, public opinion polls show Prince Harry has a significantly lower favorability rating compared to other royals, reflecting the lasting impact of his past controversies.
