Prince Harry is baffled by Taylor Swift and Charli XCX’s bad blood.
The Duke of Sussex was hilariously asked about the singers’ feud during Wednesday’s episode of the “Hasan Minhaj Doesn’t Know” podcast.
Host Hasan Minhaj introduced the topic by warning Harry, 41, that it was “heavy.”
The comedian, 40, then asked, “What do you think of this Taylor Swift, Charli XCX beef?”
Harry immediately looked confused, replying, “The what? Oh, no.”
As the retired royal glanced off camera, a confused expression on his face, Minjah described the Grammy winners’ viral diss tracks about each other.

“This is serious,” he said. “Because was Charli’s diss track even a diss track? I mean, to me, ‘Sympathy is a Knife’ was about something completely different, but then Taylor comes back, and I think escalates it, with the ‘Actually Romantic’ thing.”
Notably, “Sympathy Is a Knife” came out in 2024 and featured lyrics about a girl who “taps [her] insecurities.”
Earlier this month, Swift released her “Life of a Showgirl” album and seemingly compared her fellow artist to a “toy chihuahua barking at me from a tiny purse” in “Actually Romantic.”
Minaj summed up his discussion of the songs by asking, “Is this fair? Or did Charli draw blood and Taylor had to respond?”
Harry, still looking completely flummoxed by the line of subject matter, began to respond when the actor cut him off.
“Sometimes I think, where do we go from here, you know?” Minhaj asked.
All Harry managed to say was, “Well,” before he started laughing.
YouTube viewers gushed in the comments over how “genuinely confused” the “clueless” former military pilot seemed over the pop culture tidbit.
“Hasan is unhinged and Harry was such a good sport,” one social media user wrote, with another adding, “I cannot believe Hasan is interviewing literal royalty and is talking about Taylor Swift.”
The awkward back-and-forth kicked off the podcast interview, which primarily explored the dangers of children using social media.
The interview comes one day after Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, revealed her Swiftie status while prepping for her As Ever line’s product drop.
She blasted “Opalite” via Instagram Stories in Tuesday’s Instagram Story upload.
