ROYAL RUCKUS: Prince Harry's Wild Tattoo Adventure Exposed!

In a shocking turn of events, Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, has been spotted getting inked at East Side Ink in New York City! The royal family member, known for his rebellious streak, joined forces with American music star Jelly Roll to create a hilarious and action-packed sketch.

As reported by TheScholarlyNote.com, the 40-year-old prince donned a seat in the tattoo parlour, where he received a "tattoo" from the country musician. But, things took an unexpected turn when Harry became convinced that Jelly Roll was putting his own name on his neck!

The clip, thought to have been filmed in September last year, has left fans and royal watchers alike stunned. Who would have thought that Prince Harry, known for his dashing good looks and charming personality, would be getting a tattoo (albeit a fake one) with the likes of Jelly Roll?

TheScholarlyNote.com has learned that the Duke of Sussex sent a heartfelt letter to Josh Lord, owner of East Side Ink, expressing gratitude for the "generosity" in offering his space for filming. Harry also praised Lord's "artful handling" of press questions regarding his visit, saying he was impressed by Lord's "skilful dodging!"

But that's not all! The tattoo parlour, renowned among celebrity circles, has a reputation for catering to A-list stars like Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, and Jeremy Renner. Who knew that Prince Harry would be the latest addition to this exclusive club?

Josh shared the letter (pictured) that he received from the Montecito-based royal following his 2024 visit

Meanwhile, Princess Delphine, the love child of King Albert II of Belgium, has shared her thoughts on Prince Harry's circumstances in a new podcast episode. The 57-year-old princess, who is also an artist, revealed she feels "very sorry" for the Duke of Sussex.

Delphine, who previously lived in London but has since relocated to Brussels, spoke about Princess Diana's sudden death and how it affected Harry. She claimed that speculation over his life since he left for Montecito with his former actress wife, Meghan Markle, counts as "bullying".

"I understand the guy," Delphine said. "He's just traumatised, and so he's doing these things and everyone is just bullying him but not thinking about his trauma, and I just find it terrible."

The American tattoo artist said 'skilful dodger' was a 'pretty good nickname' in the post's caption

It seems that Prince Harry has become a hot topic among royal watchers, with even the love child of King Albert II weighing in on his circumstances. Will this tattoo debacle mark a new era for the Duke of Sussex? Only time will tell!
