Prince Harry Humiliated With 'Duke of Tantrums' Nickname on Sky News
Prince Harry Gets Brutal 'Duke of Tantrums' Nickname on Sky News

Sky News Australia presenter Danica De Giorgio has humiliated Prince Harry with a brutal new nickname, calling him the 'Duke of Tantrums' during her evening show on July 30, 2026. The 34-year-old broadcaster launched a scathing attack after it emerged that the Duke of Sussex's request for taxpayer-funded security during his upcoming UK visit had been rejected.

Security Request Denied

According to The Sun, the royal and VIP executive committee turned down Harry's request for protection just a week before he is due to arrive for a string of engagements. De Giorgio reported that the dad-of-two is now considering visiting the UK without his wife Meghan Markle and their children, Archie and Lilibet, due to the security snub.

De Giorgio mocked the situation, saying: 'What is that noise? Oh, it's the sound of the world's tiniest violin playing for the Duke of Tantrums. Prince Harry has thrown the toys out of the cot again, this time because the British taxpayer won't pay for his security while he and his family are in London this month. Boo-hoo.'

Presenter's Scathing Remarks

The broadcaster did not hold back, adding: 'Old Ginger Spice is reportedly so enraged that he is considering not bringing his wife, Meghan, and their children, Archie and Lilibet. Well, leave them in California then.' She questioned whether Britons care about Meghan's absence and reminded viewers that Harry is no longer a working royal, having profited from trashing the royal family.

'The nerve of this self-absorbed pratt and his attention-seeking wife to assume that they would get taxpayer-funded protection is astonishing to me. I'm genuinely, genuinely in shock,' De Giorgio concluded.

Viewers React

Viewers quickly flooded the comments section to praise the presenter's cheeky nickname. One user wrote: 'I love it, the Duke of Tantrums. That is the perfect title for him.' Another agreed: 'The Duke of Tantrums, darn right!!! They need to have their titles taken away. The kids need to be removed from the succession, too.'

A third commenter echoed: 'Don't bring them, Harry. Who wants to see them anyway? You left the royal fold. So the bells and whistles are not out for you two; you are not special at all, and you and your wife are a big nuisance to society.'
