Harry Styles didn't hold back with his opening monologue while hosting Saturday Night Live.
The British singer took a swipe at the royal family, mocking Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on live TV during the episode.
The 32-year-old singer started the show by poking fun at his "boring" life away from the stage.

"You know what? As a British man who has spent a lot of his life in the public eye, I can assure you there is something nice about being boring," Styles said.
"It's better than the alternative..."
Suddenly an image of Andrew, 66, flashed up on screen.
The image was one which made headlines around the world; the former prince in his car after being arrested last month.
Styles grimaced and pretended to loosen his tie.

The former prince was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office on February 19 amid accusations he shared confidential documents with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein during his time as a UK trade envoy.
Andrew was released under investigation and denies any wrongdoing.
He remains eighth in line to the throne but recently the UK government said it was considering introducing legislation to revoke Andrew's succession rights.
Elsewhere in the monologue Styles spoke about his passion for running and claims that he is "queerbaiting".
"I took up jogging. There's nothing interesting about that," he said.
"But because I am me, people pretend to find that interesting. But I don't run to be interesting. I do it for the feeling it gives me. That runner's high."
The superstar went on to reference his 2019 hit, Watermelon Sugar and joked, "Runner's high, Watermelon Sugar high. And if that doesn't do it for you, I also love ecstasy."
Styles, who is dating actress Zoe Kravitz, also addressed claims about his sexuality.
"Back then, people seemed to pay a lot of attention to the clothes I was wearing and some people accused me of something called 'queerbaiting' – but did it ever occur to you that maybe you don't know everything about me, Dad?" he quipped.
Moments later he planted a kiss on comedian Ben Marshall.
"Now that's queerbaiting," he said to the camera with a wink.
