  • CAN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT EVERYONE'S FAVORITE TROUBLED

  • ROYAL TWOSOME.

  • BRAD PITT AND JENNIFER ANISTON.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) BUT ALSO MEGHAN AND HARRY, WHO

  • HAVE DRAGGED BRITAIN INTO "MEGXIT."

  • OR AS I CALL IT "HARR-ABDICATION."

  • IT'S GOING TO CATCH ON.

  • GIVE IT TIME!

  • I SAY GOOD ON THEM FOR LEAVING.

  • THE BRITISH PRESS IS DOING TO THIS FAMILY EXACTLY WHAT THEY

  • DID TO HARRY'S MOTHER, PLUS RACISM.

  • THE WORLD WAS RIVETED YESTERDAY WHEN HARRY GAVE A SPEECH IN

  • LONDON, AND SPOKE PUBLICLY FOR THE FIRST TIME ABOUT

  • HARR-ABDICATION-- SEE?

  • IT'S ALREADY CATCHING ON.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) AND MADE IT CLEAR THAT THE

  • TREATMENT OF HIS FAMILY BY THE TABLOIDS HAD BECOME TOO MUCH.

  • >> IT BRINGS ME GREAT SADNESS THAT IT HAS COME TO THIS.

  • THE DECISION THAT I HAVE MADE FOR MY WIFE AND I TO STEP BACK

  • IS NOT ONE I MADE LIGHTLY.

  • THERE REALLY WAS NO OTHER OPTION.

  • I HOPE THAT HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IT HAD COME TO THAT I WOULD

  • STEP MY FAMILY BACK FROM ALL I'VE EVER KNOWN, TO TAKE A STEP

  • FORWARD INTO WHAT I HOPE CAN BE A MORE PEACEFUL LIFE.

  • >> STEPHEN: PEACEFUL LIFE?

  • HARRY, YOU HAVE A FOUR-MONTH -- EIGHT-MONTH-OLD BABY.

  • YOU WON'T HAVE A PEACEFUL LIFE AGAIN FOR THE NEXT 18 YEARS.

  • RIGHT NOW, JUST SHOOT FOR A "LESS PUKED-ON" LIFE.

  • ALTHOUGH MEGHAN IS ALREADY IN CANADA WITH THEIR SON ARCHIE,

  • HARRY INSISTS THEY ARE NOT BREAKING ENTIRELY WITH

  • BUCKINGHAM PALACE.

  • >> WHAT I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR IS THAT WE'RE NOT WALKING AWAY.

  • >> STEPHEN: "WE'RE FLYING AWAY ON AN AIRPLANE.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) TURNS OUT IF YOU WALK FROM

  • ENGLAND TO CANADA, YOU DROWN OR GET EATEN BY SHARKS."

  • ( LAUGHTER ) HARRY AND MEGHAN WILL ALSO

  • REPAY THE $3.1 MILLION IN PUBLIC MONEY USED TO REFURBISH FROGMORE

  • COTTAGE."

  • WAIT, THERE'S AN ACTUAL PLACE CALLED FROGMORE COTTAGE?

  • ( LAUGHTER ) THAT SOUNDS MADE-UP LIKE

  • HOGWARTS, HUMPTY DUMPTY, OR BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) AND DESPITE GIVING UP HIS H.R.H.

  • TITLE, HARRY REMAINS SIXTH IN LINE FOR THE CROWN, WHICH PUTS

  • HIM JUST BEHIND PRINCE WILLIAMS' CHILDREN AND JUST AHEAD OF JOHN

  • GOODMAN.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) AND TO MAKE THE WHOLE THING EVEN

  • MORE OFFICIAL, ON SATURDAY, QUEEN ELIZABETH HERSELF

  • ANNOUNCED THAT HARRY AND MEGHAN "WILL NO LONGER BE WORKING

  • MEMBERS OF BRITAIN'S MONARCHY."

  • SO THERE'S A JOB OPENING IN THE ROYAL FAMILY.

  • MAYBE A MEGXIT MEANS A COLBENTRANCE.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) HI!

  • HOW ARE YOU?

  • MRS. QUEEN -- CAN I CALL YOU QUEENY?

  • MY NAME IS STEPHEN COLBERT.

  • I'M INTERESTED IN THE POSITION OF ROYAL HIGHNESS.

  • I HAVE NO FORMAL TRAINING IN BEING A PRINCE, BUT I HAVE BEEN

  • TOLD I'M A ROYAL PAIN IN THE ASS.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) ANYWAY, I'M A FAST LEARNER, I'M

  • HIGHLY MOTIVATED, I CAN WAVE BACKWARDS, AND I'VE NEVER MET

  • JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

  • GAFFIGAN.

( APPLAUSE ) >> STEPHEN: WELL, THE WORLD
