Prince Harry Interviewed Barack Obama, and It Was the Cutest
Prince Harry has had a lot going on lately, so you’d be forgiven if you missed the new job title Mr. Meghan Markle recently acquired: radio journalist.
That’s right, the British prince just put in some time as a guest editor on BBC Radio 4’s flagship “Today” show. And, for his foray into journalism, he was joined by a very special and equally-impressive guest: none other than former President . Barack Obama. The banter between the two of them is, in a word, adorable, and we want more of it.
In a preview video of the holiday-themed interview, scheduled to air in full on December 27, Obama and Harry can been seen joking around about what’s to come during their sit-down. As expected, both are beyond charming, giving us lots to look forward to after Christmas.

“Do I have to speak faster?” Obama asks Harry as they’re getting started. “Because I’m a slow speaker.”
“Not at all,” Harry assures him.
“OK,” Obama says. Then he adds: “Do I need a British accent?”
Instead of answering, Harry gives his guest a good-natured warning: “If you start using long pauses between the answers, you’re probably gonna get ‘the face,'” he says.
“Lemme see the face,” Obama replies. Harry shoots him a serious look that does the job: “I don’t wanna see that face,” the former President says.
Of course, Harry and Obama go way back. Most recently, Obama tweeted his congratulations to Harry and Meghan on their engagement. They were also spotted hanging out together with Joe Biden in Toronto at the Invictus Games in September.
Obama also made a trip to Kensington Palace to visit Harry and his family in May—so something tells us this interview will be an instance of mixing business with pleasure. Not that their friendship is preventing Harry from experiencing those familiar “first day” jitters on his new job.
“You’re excited about this,” he tells Obama. “I’m nervous about this, that’s what’s quite funny.”
“I’ll interview you if you want,”Obama offers.
But Harry politely declines: “No, no. Let’s keep it this way. I’d much prefer that.”
Watch all of the banter below—it will definitely make your Sunday.
