Harry Styles slams Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on SNL

Styles, who is currently at the top of the UK album and singles charts, returned to the popular show as guest host.

He openly admitted how dull he had become during his recent hiatus.

The 32-year-old quipped that he is “tremendously boring” after keeping a low profile since his Love On Tour run of gigs came to an end in 2023.

He said: “I took up jogging. There’s nothing interesting about that.

“But because I’m me, people pretend to find that interesting. 
I don’t run to be interesting. I do it for the feeling it gives me, that runner’s high. It’s just amazing.

“Watermelon sugar high, runner’s high. And if that doesn’t do it for you, I also love ecstasy.

“As a British man who spent a lot of his life in the public eye, I can assure you, there’s something nice about being boring. It’s better than the alternative.”

At that point the image of a shocked Andrew in the back of a police car following his arrest last month appeared on the screen.

Styles also took aim at those who had accused him of “queer-baiting” in the past and his use of fruit as a metaphor for sex in song lyrics.

Speaking about his time off, Styles said: “I realised I’d spent half my life in music – touring, playing albums, and making songs about fruit that people think are about sex.

“I just really like fruit, guys. I like sex, too.

“People seemed to pay a lot of attention to the clothes I was wearing, and some people accused me of something called queer-baiting.

“But did it ever occur to you that… maybe you don’t know everything about me, Dad?”

On Friday, Styles claimed a number one chart double for the second time following the release of his new album, the Official Charts Company announced.
