California – Although Prince Harry has turned his back on royal life in London, he still has to abide by certain royal protocols. This includes a strict ban on tattoos. His visit to a tattoo artist caused quite a commotion. Has the last royal rule been broken?
A video shared on the invictusgames25 channel on November 19, 2024, shows Prince Harry meeting musician Jelly Roll in a tattoo parlor.
However, it turns out there was a misunderstanding. While the musician believed the royal wanted his first tattoo from him, Harry had an entirely different purpose for his visit. He wanted to recruit Jelly Roll as a musical performer for the Invictus Games, the sporting event for wounded veterans founded by Harry. The event will take place in Vancouver, Canada, in February 2025.
Jelly Roll agreed – on one condition: Harry had to “take the needle” himself. Harry playfully agreed and immediately suggested a location for the artwork: “I’m thinking about my lower back or my buttocks,” Harry said. Jelly Roll quickly objected: “Nobody wants to see your butt!”
Eventually, the two settled on the neck, where Harry jokingly had the phrase “I am Jelly Roll” tattooed at the end of the video. Of course, this clip was purely comedic, and the tattoo wasn’t real.
The royal’s humorous side was warmly received by fans: “I didn’t know a prince could act. He did great,” one comment read, while another agreed: “I love when Harry is silly.” However, some viewers expressed concern, speculating that such antics could lead to further scrutiny or repercussions for Prince Harry.
