UK politician and President Trump ally Nigel Farage had an audience cracking up with a cheeky quip about sending Prince Harry to the US.

The outspoken anti-immigration campaigner couldn’t contain his laughter after making a playful jab at the Duke of Sussex during an interview Thursday at the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, Nev.

“In my country, we tend to be a little bit behind,” said the leader of the right-wing Reform UK party. “America has all the new ideas, they take a few years to cross the pond.”

“You send us many good things, and what you’re doing in this space right now, this administration is good,” Farage, 61, said. “You also send us bad things, because you sent us woke.”

The British politician then turned to the audience, pointing his index finger in the air.

“But you know what, we’ve got you back, because we sent you Prince Harry in return, alright,” he quipped.

Harry, of course, famously quit royal life in 2020 and hightailed it across the pond with his wife, Meghan Markle.

The Sussexes have since set up camp in Montecito, Calif., where they reside with their two children: Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 3.

Despite planting firm roots in the Golden State, the “Spare” author and his Sussex counterpart have made virtually no effort in gelling with their Montecito community, one local resident claimed this week.

Instead, locals say that Harry and the “Suits” alum, 43, have remained “practically invisible” to their neighbors ever since they snapped up their $14 million property — which has since doubled in value.

Despite that, Harry had previously gushed over his new life in sunny California, telling Andrew Ross Sorkin at The New York Times DealBook Online Summit that he “very much” enjoys living in Montecito.

“I very much enjoy bringing my kids up here. It’s a part of my life that I never thought I was going to live.I feel as though it’s the life that my mom wanted for me,” he said in Dec. 2024.

“To be able to do the things I’m able to do with my kids that I undoubtedly wouldn’t be able to do in the UK — it’s huge. That is a fantastic opportunity and I’m hugely grateful for that.”

Thursday’s quip isn’t the first time Farage had spoken out about the Sussex camp.

President Trump’s close ally launched a scathing attack on Harry in recent weeks — saying his comments about his cancer-stricken, estranged father King Charles’ ailing health were “inappropriate” and “unnecessary.”

“It’s good to see the king here. I understand the treatment he is undergoing is pretty intense,” Farage told GB News earlier this month. “He’s putting a brave face on it. It was why the comments from his youngest son were so inappropriate.”

“Of all the things Harry said — that’s what I found most upsetting,” Farage said of Harry’s bombshell BBC News interview.

“There’s no conversation the king and Harry can have that won’t end up on Netflix — there’s no trust,” he added. “As I understand, the king is undergoing regular treatment. It’s tough.”

In April 2021, Farage yanked up his welcome mat in a tweet slamming the Sussexes for their terse statement on the death of Prince Philip at age 99.

“For a couple that do public emotion as a career, this third person and one sentence statement shows their contempt for this great man and the monarchy,” Farage said at the time.

“The British public will not welcome Harry and Meghan back, even for the funeral.”
