With the holiday season well and truly here, Stephen Colbert took a moment on the Late Show to go through some of the latest Hallmark movie offerings — until an actual royal suddenly appears behind him in the form of Prince Harry, who is apparently dead set on appearing in a holiday movie himself.

"Stephen, I'll do anything," Prince Harry says. "I'll record a self tape, I'll fly myself to an audition, settle a baseless lawsuit with the White House — all the things you people on TV do."

Cue a sudden onset of fake snow behind them as the scene morphs into a Hallmark movie staple, and Colbert confirms Prince Harry has the role.
