Ryan Seacrest’s Head-Turning Comment About Royal Baby Archie

If you’ve ever glanced at a TV or turned on the radio at one point in your life, chances are you have seen or heard Ryan Seacrest. He’s a common face on the red carpet, serving up questions fans want to know about our favorite celebrities. His work on “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” “American Idol,” and “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” has reinforced his position as one of America’s most recognizable media personalities. He’s also one of the celebrities who seem to be rooting for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as his congratulatory tweet indicates.

Seacrest’s tweet started off with a standard congratulations. “It’s a boy! Congrats to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry,” the star TV host began. The next sentence is where things got funny-weird. He penned, “The royal baby is 7th in line to the British throne … and the latest entry in the race for the iron throne.” (Per the official website for the British royal family, Prince Archie is now sixth in line to the throne as of October 2023, followed by his younger sister Princess Lilibet.)

For those unfamiliar with “Game of Thrones,” Seacrest was referencing the famous “Iron Throne” that’s central to the hit HBO series. Whoever sits upon the uncomfortable-looking, sword-riddled seat is deemed the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms. Seacrest’s likening of the British throne, which King Charles III holds, to the throne showcased in the ultraviolent TV show might have those without dark humor pulling a “yikes” face.
