I was quite good friends with Harry back in the day. Pre-Meghan, when he was a terror.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cI was dropped.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jack was asked if he was with Harry &#8211; who was known for his wild partying ways in his 20s &#8211; when he was photographed in the nude in Las Vegas in 2016, and though he wasn&#8217;t there, the &#8216;Good Omens&#8217; actor says they had &#8220;a few nights outs&#8221; together when the royal was &#8220;quite fun&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe responded: &#8220;No annoyingly, I wasn\u2019t there for the naked billiards. But I had a few nights out with him\u2026 I mean, I wasn\u2019t, I wouldn\u2019t say it part of the inner circle, to go back to a Vegas analogy. But no, I had a few nights out with him when he was quite fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, Harry&#8217;s brother, Prince William, previously mocked Jack&#8217;s comedy skills, branding his jokes &#8220;pretty dad-like&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe 42-year-old future king quipped during a school visit in April: \u201cI\u2019ve been asked to produce a dad joke, so I\u2019m kind of trying to channel Jack Whitehall, most of his jokes are pretty dad-like.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nJack reacted on social media: \u201cAn outrageous shading from the future King.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe stand-up and his model fianc\u00e9e Roxy Horner became parents for the first time to a little girl named Elsie in September 2023, and he previously joked his newborn baby&#8217;s nappies looked like she enjoyed &#8220;five pints of Guinness and a kebab&#8221; on a night out.<\/p>\n<p>\nAlongside a selfie of himself with his eyes closed holding a sign between his teeth which read &#8220;Shhh I&#8217;m sleepy&#8221;, the then-new dad wrote on Instagram: &#8220;Can\u2019t believe I\u2019m only two weeks into this.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Also every morning I see these nappy\u2019s and think did someone sneak in last night and give my daughter five pints of Guinness and a kebab?
