The Late Showhost said he’s read the Duke of Sussex’s memoir,Spare, on Monday’s show while previewing Harry’s appearance on the program, airing Tuesday.
“I’ve read the book — it’s very enjoyable, quite emotional, quite revealing. I’m going to have so much to talk about with His Harryness,” Colbert said, after joking thatSparewas “also available on audiobook and a commemorative plate.”
The host then played a clip fromPrince Harry’s60 Minutesinterview with Anderson Cooper, where he spoke about whenPrince Williamdidn’t want to associate with him at school, something Colbert said was “straight out of the older brother/sibling playbook.”

Smirking at the camera, Colbert then joked, “No — cause William’s so bald, he doesn’t need any cutting — am I right? Am I right, Harry?”
“Tune in tomorrow to see if he leaves me hanging,” Colbert said.

“I don’t want to tell anyone what to think of it and that includes my family,” he says. “This book and its truths are in many ways a continuation of my own mental health journey. It’s a raw account of my life — the good, the bad and everything in between.”
“My hope has been to turn my pain into purpose, so if sharing my experience makes a positive difference in someone’s life, well, I can’t think of anything more rewarding than that!” he says.
