Prince Harry downs tequila as he promotes memoir 'Spare' on US chat show

Prince Harry appeared on a US chat show to promote his brand new memoir, Spare - and enjoyed a beverage with host Stephen Colbert.

The Duke of Sussex went on CBS's The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to discuss the memoir, and suggested that his relationship with his brother wouldn't be so strained if his mother were still alive.

Hello! Magazine reports that Harry felt like the distance has gotten bigger due to the death of his mother, Princess Diana. The Prince said: "We wouldn't have got to this moment.

"It is impossible to say where we would be but there is no way the distance between my brother and I would be the same [as it is now]."

Host Stephen celebrated the launch of the book by cracking open a bottle of tequila with Harry. Towards the end of the interview, both took a slug together to commemorate the occasion.

When asked by Stephen about his late grandmother, the Queen, Harry revealed that he will remember most "her sharp wit, her sense of humour, her ability to respond to anybody with a completely straight face - but totally joking".

Harry went on to explain: "She was incredibly humorous. I’m genuinely happy for her because she finished life.

"She had an amazing life, she had an amazing career and she was buried with her husband.

"And bearing in mind the global suffering that everybody’s experienced over the last three years, there was less suffering for both of my grandparents. I’m really, really grateful for that."

Also during the interview, Harry showed off the necklace that his brother, Prince William, allegedly broke during a fight in Nottingham Cottage.

The Duke revealed that the chain had two pendants, with each of his children's heartbeats engraved, as well as a third which was a gift from a friend in Botswana.

Prince Harry's full interview with Stephen Colbert can be watched on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert YouTube channel now.
