Prince Harry gets the meme treatment, is officially internet royalty
Prince Harry can now lay claim to becoming royalty of a different kind—he's officially become a viral meme about clubbing.
A 2013 video of Prince Harry running off during a TV interview for an urgent mission on his Apache helicopter has resurfaced with a twist in the form of a meme. The interview was filmed at Camp Bastion, Afghanistan, when the prince was completing a tour of duty as an Apache attack helicopter gunner.
Five years later, the internet has put a party spin on this clip, which makes it look like Prince Harry is getting up mid-convo to go dance to an absolute tune that's just started playing on the dance floor.
The first iteration of the meme featured Harry running off to the sound of Ariana Grande's "I'm So Into You." "Every time in G-A-Y smoking area," wrote Twitter user @_lvurenprice, referring to a popular London nightclub.
