Prince Harry *May* Have Fallen For A Prank By Russian YouTubers, Spilling The Tea On Megxit

A pair of Russian pranksters who specialise in duping the famous and powerful have reportedly conned Prince Harry into spilling the Megxit tea.

Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov, also known as Vovan and Lexus, claim they got through to Prince Harry on a landline by pretending to be Greta Thunberg and her dad.

According to The Sun, the pair made two phone calls to Harry’s Canadian residence, on New Year’s Eve and January 22. During the phone calls, Harry spoke about his and Meghan Markle‘s decision to step down as senior royals.

“Sometimes the right decision isn’t always the easy one,” Harry reportedly told the pair.

“I can assure you, marrying a Prince or Princess is not all it’s made out to be! And this decision certainly wasn’t the easy one but it was the right decision for our family, the right decision to be able to protect my son.

“And I think there’s a hell of a lot of people around the world that can identify and respect us for putting our family first. But, yeah, it’s a tricky one, but we will start a new life.”

Prince Harry reportedly told the pranksters the decision was made to “protect” their son, Archie, and insisted the couple weren’t stripped of their royal titles.

“No, no, again you mustn’t believe what you read, no one has stripped us of our titles,” he said.

“Because of a technicality within the family, if we are earning money separately from within the family structure, then we obviously have been asked not to use our titles in order to make money, which we would never do.

“But the press managed to jump on that to make it look like we had been stripped.”

It’s not exactly groundbreaking stuff, but it is more candid than anything we’ve gotten from Harry or Meghan so far. Harry also refused to comment on his uncle Prince Andrew‘s ties to billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, but didn’t insist that “whatever he has done or hasn’t done” was completely seperate from him and his wife.

Vovan and Lexus have made headlines in the past for reportedly prank calling Elton John, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and most recently Bernie Sanders. Their ability to apparently get through to highly placed people has prompted critics to suggest they have links to Russia’s security services.

“We work for ourselves, for nobody else,” Stolyarov denied to The Guardian in 2016. “People are always offering us to get involved in their dirty games. I was offered $100,000 to secretly prank an MP. But we refuse.”

They usually upload videos to their YouTube page (with almost 100,000 subscribers), but no Prince Harry video appears to have been uploaded yet. However, a video has appeared on a seperate YouTube page, with a voice that certainly sounds like Prince Harry claiming Donald Trump has “blood on his hands”.

If true– and it’s a really big if – then Harry is simply following tradition by falling for a prank call. In 1995, the Queen spent 17-minutes talking to a Montreal radio host before learning he wasn’t Canadian PM Jean Chretien, and in 1996 Princess Diana spent 18-minutes talking to a completely different broadcaster who pretended to be Stephen Hawking.

Unsurprisingly, Prince Harry’s spokesperson refused to comment on The Sun’s report, and Thunberg hasn’t made a statement yet, either. We’ll keep you posted.
