Joe Rogan made his feelings about Prince Harry clear in his new Netflix special by calling the British royal a "b-tch" and making jokes about his previous use of mushrooms.
Rogan also joked that he had dreamt about doing drugs with Harry, which the duke first admitted to doing in his "Spare" memoir.
Prince Harry is currently embroiled in a legal case over the Visa issue, one of many controversies he and his wife, Meghan Markle, face ahead of their Colombia trip.
Joe Rogan Mocks Prince Harry During His New Netflix Special
Rogan had his sights on Harry in his new Netflix stand-up special, savagely attacking the Duke of Sussex for various reasons.
The former "Fear Factor" host called Harry a "b-tch," mimicked his British accent, and cracked jokes about wanting to take magic mushrooms with him.
Rogan's grouse with Harry seemed to be because he allegedly "talked sh-t" about him. This was a reference to Harry and Meghan's public comments about the "COVID misinformation" that Rogan, a vaccine skeptic, spread on his Spotify show.
"This is a true story," Rogan began, per Daily Mail. "One time I just woke up I'm in my underwear I plop down, turn the TV on and Prince Harry's talking sh-t about me. I'm like, I just woke up. I'm vulnerable. I'm in my underwear and there is a prince on TV talking about me."
The podcast host then mocked Harry's accent while recalling what the Royal had said on TV. He said, "He's like, 'Joe Rogan is giving out dangerous vaccine misinformation.' And my first thought was, f-ck, did I?."
Joe Rogan Jokes About Doing Drugs With Prince Harry
During the show, Rogan also joked about having a dream where he did drugs with Harry and then hammering him over their vaccine dispute after they had gotten high.
"Could you imagine doing mushrooms with Prince Harry?" Rogan asked the audience. "You imagine if you could trick that guy into doing mushrooms with you."
He continued, "There's a moment when you do mushrooms, like 20 minutes after you swallow it when you know you can't throw it up anymore. And you're like, 'Oh no, it's going to happen,' and you're sitting eye to eye with the prince. And here's the thing. Mushrooms take about 40 minutes to kick in, but about 35 minutes in, you hear them coming. You hear footsteps in the distance. Meanwhile, Prince Harry is tripping balls."
As the audience burst into laughter at the imagery, Rogan said he'd pick that moment to "hover over" Harry and say, "Are you sure vaccines are safe? B-tch, you're not a scientist."
Prince Harry Has Faced Controversy Since Admitting To Drug Use
Rogan's fantasy about using drugs with Harry came amid the duke's ongoing legal case on the issue. He first admitted to using drugs in his "Spare" memoir, sharing that he'd used cocaine, cannabis, and psychedelic mushrooms, which quickly became controversial.
With Harry and Meghan's immigration to the US, it's important to note that the use of these drugs could be grounds for rejection of a visa application.
Many have since questioned if Harry would get special privileges despite admitting to the drug use and possibly lying about it on his visa form.
After the memoir came out, Donald Trump, who's currently contesting the next US Presidential election, said that Harry would not get any special privileges.
He also said that the issue would be investigated, and the duke may be deported if he falsified the information on his visa form.
Meghan Markle Wants Her Husband To Be 'Free' Of The Court Drama
As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to live as non-working royals, Meghan reportedly "wishes" for her husband to be free from the courtroom drama that has trailed him.
Harry has been fighting for the Home Office to reinstate his tax-funded police protection for himself and his family after they were stripped of it when they left their royal duties in 2020.
An ex-employee of the couple's Archewell Foundation has now told People magazine that the former "Suits" actress "supports Harry 100 percent, but she wishes he could let go of these lawsuits, be happy and live in the moment."
"She wants him to be free of all of this, but she also knows that because of everything he's been through and his love for [her and their children], he can't. She wants him to live in a world where he is not burdened by this," the source added.
The Duke Believes His Father Can Solve His Security Issues
According to the news outlet, Harry believes King Charles can intervene and help restore his security protection.
He's understood to have reached out to Charles several times, but the king has seemingly distanced himself from the issue, further straining their relationship.
Although a favorable meeting ensued between the pair when the duke made a frantic rush to see Charles upon learning of his cancer diagnosis in February, their communication has allegedly depleted as the king no longer takes Harry's calls.
"He gets 'unavailable right now,'" Harry's friend told People. "His calls go unanswered. He has tried to reach out about the king's health, but those calls go unanswered too."
Even Harry's efforts to seek help on his security issue have been seemingly ignored. A royal insider told the news outlet that the father-of-two "is frightened and feels the only person who can do anything about it is his father."
However, he'll seemingly not go down without a fight. A source noted, "Harry is determined to protect his own family at all costs."
