Before Prince Harry packed his bags and swapped London for Montecito with Meghan Markle, he was living it up with British comedian Jack Whitehall – so who is Whitehall exactly?

Before Prince Harry packed up his bags and swapped London for Montecito with Meghan Markle, he was living it up with British comedian Jack Whitehall. Well, sorta.

As Whitehall just revealed on Australia’s Jase & Lauren radio show, he used to be pretty good pals with the Duke of Sussex during his pre-Meghan era. “I’ve come into contact with a couple of [the royals] in the past. I was quite good friends with Harry back in the day. Pre-Meghan, when he was a terror,” Whitehall explained.

When asked is he had been “dropped” as a friend, he said that he had been. He added that he was not part of the infamous evening that left Harry played billiards naked in Las Vegas. “No, annoyingly, I wasn’t there for the naked billiards. But I had a few nights out with him when he was quite fun,” the Bad Education star shared. “I wouldn’t say I was part of the inner circle.”

It’s not the first time Whitehall has been involved with the British royal family.

He and Prince William have been involved in playful back-and-forth banter for years. What’s more, he used to go to school with Kate Middleton.
