Prince Harry gets tricked into getting this tattoo on the neck by Jelly Roll; watch funny video

Prince Harry just proved his commitment for the Invictus Games. On November 19, just ahead of the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025, Prince Harry was seen with Jelly Roll, who will be headlining the closing ceremony of the upcoming games. 

In a fun video that confirms Jelly Roll as the headliner for the closing ceremony, Harry is seen sitting down for a surprise tattoo, showing his commitment to the games that he started with the purpose of adding fun and joy to the lives of wounded and sick service personnel and army veterans. 

Harry and Jelly Roll are seen meeting at East Side Ink, a tattoo parlour in New York City. Harry was in New York in September so we think this must have been filmed then. In the video shared on Instagram, the Duke of Sussex and the “Save Me” singer are seen hanging out and joking around before the royal gets a tattoo.

As the video begins, Harry is seen being asked by someone, "Take a look around, can we get you anything?" to which he says, No, I'm alright. Is he going to be here any time soon?" as he sat in a tattoo chair. 

Jelly Roll then walks in and says, "Hey, hey! Tattoos! Speaking of! What's up! I'm such a fan, dude. Do you know I could not believe it when they called me and told me Prince Harry wanted to get a tattoo today? They wanted me to give him his first tattoo? This is the coolest thing ever!"

Taken aback, Prince Harry asks Jelly Roll why he’s wearing a glove, to which the latter says, “We’re giving you a tattoo about the Invictus Games."

Jelly then insists, "I'll play the Invictus Games, you just let me give you your first tattoo." 

Harry then agrees but Jelly starts making one in the neck to which the royal interjects and says, "I was thinking the lower back or on my ass." 

"Nobody wants to see your ass, Harry!" Jelly Roll laughs. 

As the tattoo gets complete, Harry asks, "What's that! Dude, it's enormous.”

Watch the funny video here:

The country star counters, "The Invictus Games are enormous," and Harry seemed shocked when he spied Jelly Roll's name in ink. Seemingly inspired by the Invictus Games "I Am" logo, he wrote "I Am Jelly Roll" in the same motif.

What does the new neck tattoo say?

The "Invictus I Am" logo embodies the message at the heart of the Invictus Games, inspired by William Ernest Henley’s iconic poem Invictus, which includes the phrase, "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul."

Prince Harry was a former captain in the British Army. He launched the Invictus Games as an international adaptive sports tournament for wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans in 2014 as a means for healing. The seventh cycle will be held in Vancouver and Whistler from Feb. 8 to Feb. 16, 2025.
