Prince Harry Is In an Incredible Meme About Your Favorite Song Playing in the Club
Prince Harry may not have a personal Instagram or Twitter account, but that clearly didn't stop him from becoming the internet's latest meme star. A scene from one of the royal's previous interviews—where he ditches mid-sentence for military duty—has become viral now that people are using it to describe the exact moment you hear your favorite song in the club.
The footage is from an interview in 2013 during the royal's time in Afghanistan, which appeared on CNN and ABC. Harry, who ultimately served in the army for 10 years, was called to fly in the middle of his sit-down with a reporter. So he promptly got up, took off his microphone, and dashed to his helicopter without question.
Apparently for the Twitter-verse, that sense of duty and urgency is also applicable to dropping everything and heading to the dance floor when your jam starts playing on a night out. Some users even added music to the clip, making it 10 times funnier.
For example, fans of Juvenile's 1998 hit "Back That Ass Up" may understand this scenario:
And if "Gasolina" by Daddy Yankee is your go-to, this might be extremely relatable:
Love Ariana Grande's "Into You?" Yup, there's a clip for that too:
And for "Formation" by Beyoncé:
And for Nicki Minaj's feature on "Motorsport" with Migos and Cardi B:
Let's also not forget the most meme-able song, "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers:
There's also a version for fans of the Walmart yodeling boy meme:
This isn't the first time Harry's abrupt interview exit got the meme treatment. Back in 2013, the clip went viral when YouTube user producertom85 edited it with ice cream truck music to make it seem like the prince bolted off to grab a dessert. Today, it has over 17 million views.
We hope Prince Harry recreates this viral moment when his jam plays at his and Meghan Markle's royal wedding reception on May 19. (Fingers crossed it's to a Spice Girls song.)
