Moment Prince Harry is filmed screaming and swearing in a bizarre spooky maze performance on Jimmy Fallon

The Duke of Sussex was filmed screaming as he ventured through a spooky maze with Jimmy Fallon during his late night talk show, after a week of high-profile appearances in New York.

Harry did not participate in a typical interview with host Fallon, opting instead to become the first surprise guest to test out a Halloween experience called Jimmy Fallon’s Tonightmares at Rockefeller Center in the Big Apple.

His appearance on the TV show comes after days of assignments during an east coast trip without the Duchess of Sussex during the UN General Assembly’s High-Level Week and Climate Week.

In the segment, which aired on US network NBC, swear words were heard as Harry, who had a camera strapped to his chest, appeared nervous as he wandered through the maze.

The guest appearance came as his solo publicity blitz in the US continues without his wife Meghan Markle.

Harry came up with a short exclamation on the screen as he scared Fallon, who was presenting at the time.

Dressed in a khaki shirt with rolled-up sleeves, Prince Harry said, beaming, although he was normally not easily frightened: ‘today could be different’.

The pair both wore cameras on their chests as they boarded a lift that raced to the start of the spooky maze, where they were greeted by a terrifying zombie-like figure.

The Duke of Sussex said ‘Jimmy’ before the figure appeared, prompting the prince to swear, which was bleeped out.

As they walked down a hallway, there was a handwritten sign that read, “There’s a serial killer on the loose.”

Harry then sees a woman with white makeup and black rings around her eyes who appears to be holding a knife.

He said, ‘Is that a panda?’

The woman said ‘hello’ to the duke before revealing he was actually staring at a reflection of her as she ran around the corner in an attempt to thrust the knife at him.

Prince Harry shouted and cursed, while Fallon mocked him, saying: ‘You’re afraid of pandas,’ while the Duke replied: ‘No! That’s not me, that’s not me.’

The scene then cuts to Fallon on an old TV with glasses. As they looked at the screen together, the prince said to him, “You look great in glasses.”

The screen then changes to Fallon with his eyeballs glowing, which seemed to shock the Duke, who made a surprised face.

Behind a translucent screen, a body begins to crack and crack before a series of jump scares terrifies both Fallon and the prince.

As the fifth in line for the throne sees a bloodied man with a wrench, he tells him “hello” before the man scares them again with a series of flashing lights, raising his weapon at them.

Surprised again, Harry shouted when Fallon asked, “Why would you do it twice?” The prince added: “We know you are here, why?”

They continue as the man scares them for the third time. In the next clip, a woman’s voice is heard saying, “I got them, Dad.”

The prince then enters a simulated cornfield and holds Fallon’s hand as they carefully walk through it together.

In a comical moment, the Duke compared a ghostly figure to a famous Canadian singer.

‘Is that Michael Bublé? Well done mate,’ said Harry.

The scene involves some zombie rockers with leather jackets and electric guitars.

After Fallon and the prince walked past, the actors appeared shocked to realize they had scared Prince Harry to death.

At the end of the experience, Harry pretended to throw a punch after being scared by an actor while posing for a photo with Fallon.

“Brace yourself for ten spine-tingling rooms that bring Jimmy’s worst nightmares to life, with sinister characters and scares around every corner,” according to The Tonight Show’s YouTube page.

It comes after Harry appeared as a star guest at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York on Tuesday, where he delivered an impassioned speech calling for action to tackle the “ubiquitous threat” the online world poses to children.

Speaking alongside members of Lesotho’s royal family at the United Nations headquarters, Harry told how the name of his charity Sentebale came from the country’s Sesotho language, which means ‘Forget me not’.

He had begun by saying in English: “Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests and friends” – and then repeating the greeting in Sesotho: “Morena, basali le bahlomphehi, baeti ba hlomphehang le metsoalle.”

He also addressed an audience on Tuesday about the “terrifying” impact of climate change as he celebrated the fifth anniversary of his sustainable tourism organization Travalyst.

Prince Harry spoke about his love for Lesotho – and addressed guests in both English and Sesotho – at an event at the United Nations headquarters in New York on September 24.

He recalled visiting Lesotho for the first time during a gap year in 2024 between leaving Eton and starting at Sandhurst Military Academy, as he spoke to fellow delegates including King Letsie III and Queen Masenate Mohato Seeiso.

Harry, 40, said: “The Royal Family of Lesotho, as well as Lesotho itself, have been a pillar of strength for me over the past twenty years and have welcomed me with open arms and so much kindness.

‘The beautiful mountain kingdom feels like a home away from home.

“That friendship has only grown stronger as we have worked together to tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing the Lesotho people and the rest of the world.”

Harry said he helped set up Sentebale two years after his first visit, adding: “The charity was founded in honor of our mothers and symbolizes our promise to always remember and advocate for the most vulnerable among us.

‘Our mission at Sentebale is simple but incredibly important: to help vulnerable children and young people in Lesotho and Botswana access essential healthcare services, receive care and support, and develop the life skills needed to thrive.

“By focusing on youth, we break generational cycles of trauma and outdated beliefs.”

The Duke’s Archewell Foundation launched the Parents Network last month as a support network for parents of children affected by online harm.

His appearance on the TV show also comes in the week that a US judge ruled that his US visa application should remain private, despite him admitting to drug use in his memoir.

Harry will briefly return to Britain next Monday to attend the annual WellChild awards.
