Prince Harry takes on haunted house on Jimmy Fallon show

This is the moment Prince Harry screamed in fear as he made a surprise appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show in the US.

The Duke of Sussex took a tour of a haunted house on the long-running talk show on Thursday night.

The tour, which comes as Fallon launches his new Tonightmares attraction at the Rockefeller Center in New York, saw the runaway Royal scream “Jesus, f**k!” as actors in terrifying makeup jumped out of the shadows.

In one moment, Harry jokingly mistakes an actor, dressed in a suit and tie, for singer Michael Buble.

But it appears the Prince might not be a household name in the US yet, with one actress failing to recognise him.

She turns to a cast member and asks: “Wait, who was that?”

Harry’s appearance came during a solo visit to New York, where he attended a number of talks and engagements.

He made the trip without his wife Meghan Markle or their two children Archie and Lilibet.

A spokesperson for the Prince outlined his plans in New York: "During UN General Assembly High-level Week and Climate Week in New York City, Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, will be in town to advance a number of his patronages and philanthropic initiatives."

Prince Harry’s trip to the Big Apple comes as a US judge confirmed his US visa application would remain private, despite him admitting to taking drugs in his memoir.

Harry's reference to taking cocaine, marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms in his book SPARE prompted a conservative Washington DC think tank to question why he was allowed into the US in 2020.

In his ruling, US judge Carl Nichols said: "The public does not have a strong interest in disclosure of the duke's immigration records".

The judgement continued: "Like any foreign national, the duke has a legitimate privacy interest in his immigration status.

"And the duke's public statements about his travel and drug use did not disclose, and therefore did not eliminate his interest in keeping private, specific information regarding his immigration status, applications, or other materials."

The Heritage Foundation claimed there was "immense public interest" in finding out if Harry’s drug use had played into his visa application.

Judge Nichols went on to say the public's interest in disclosure of Harry's immigration records is "outweighed by the duke's privacy interest".

He said: "Public disclosure of records about a single admission of a foreign national in the circumstances described above would provide the public, at best, limited information about the department's general policy in admitting aliens.

"And the marginal public benefit of knowing that limited information is outweighed by the privacy interest the duke retains in his immigration status and records."

Writing in his bombshell memoir, SPARE, Harry said cocaine "didn't do anything for me", adding: "Marijuana is different, that actually really did help me."
