Prince Harry was in 'serious' talks to host Saturday Night Live in the run-up to the January release of his memoir – but talks stalled at the final hurdle.
The Duke of Sussex was on a whirlwind TV tour talking about Spare before publication and went on a number of high-profile US shows.
Producers on the long-running NBC show were keen to get the royal on board, with Harry, 38, described as being 'all in'.
