Back in September, the father of two visited the Big Apple to start promoting the 2025 Invictus Game, a cause that has been close to the Prince’s heart for years.

Here’s the scoop: in a cheeky promo for the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025, Harry teamed up with country star Jelly Roll at a Lower East Side tattoo parlor. Amid some funny miscommunication, Prince Harry humorously “lets” Jelly Roll give him his “first tattoo.” Spoiler alert: it’s all part of the act, there is no actual ink making a debut on the Prince’s skin.
While Harry remains tattoo-free (for now), his cousin Princess Eugenie already sports a tiny circle design behind her ear. As for Jelly Roll, he’s gearing up to headline the Invictus Games’ closing ceremony next February—a perfect capstone to Harry’s mission of honoring veterans and service members.
