Prince Harry was inundated with tributes from the Royal Family as he celebrated his 37th birthday. However, Matt Lucas, 47, took a cheeky swipe at the Duke of Sussex today.
Taking to Twitter, the Great British Bake Off star joked that Prince Harry was most likely “meditating under a tree” to mark the celebratory occasion.
His remark comes after the comedian complained the bells at Windsor had been ringing for quite some time to mark the occasion.
Taking to the micro-blogging site, Matt couldn’t resist a cheeky dig at the royal, who resides in the United States with his wife Meghan Markle.
In view of his 1.2 million followers, he penned: “The bells at Windsor have been ringing for about half an hour, presumably because it’s Prince Harry’s birthday.
