Prince Harry has insisted only Meghan Markle can call him “Haz” – despite his wife never calling him by that nickname during the entire six-hours of the recent Netflix documentary series. The Duke of Sussex has embarked on a US charm offensive by appearing in a series of television interviews to promote the global sale of his bombshell book, Spare. On Tuesday night, his interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was broadcast, which saw the host ask what he can call Harry during their largely informal chat.
Colbert mentioned the prince’s friends called him “Haz” before the duke retorted: “My wife calls me Haz, so you can’t call me Haz.”
But during their bombshell six-part Netflix series documentary, which premiered last month, Meghan is regularly seen calling Harry simply as “H”.
This has led US-based freelance writer and royal commentator R.S. Locke to take to Twitter in an attempt to get to the bottom of the confusion.
She wrote: “First Corden and now Colbert. Everyone wants to call Prince Harry by his nickname but…’My wife calls me Haz, so you can’t call me Haz.’

“The real question is when does Meghan call him Haz because she spent a whole 6 hours on Netflix calling him H?”
Replying to her own tweet, the royal commentator also posted a shrot video clip of when Harry joined UK host James Corden on his ‘The Late Late Show in the US in February 2021.
This saw the pair visit the mansion from hit TV show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air while touring Los Angeles, with Corden speaking to Meghan on a video call as Harry listens and watches on.
Meghan is heard saying: “Haz, how is your tour of LA going?” Corden jumps in with: “Haz? I didn’t know we were calling you Haz now?”

During the interview, Colbert later asked Harry: “What do I call you?” with the prince replying: “Call me whatever you want at this point.”
The chat show host responded: “In the book, I find you’ve got a lot of different names.
