Prince Harry raps ‘Fresh Prince’ tune

LONDON — Prince Harry, who decamped from England to Southern California last year, rapped the theme song to the 1990s sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” during a talk show appearance.

During a segment on CBS’s “The Late, Late Show with James Corden” that aired early Friday, Harry said he decided to step away from his work as a front-line member of the royal family to protect his wife and son — and his mental health.

“It was stepping back rather than stepping down,” he said. “It was a really difficult environment, which I think a lot of people saw, so I did what any father or husband would do and thought, ‘How do I get my family out of here?’ But we never walked away, and as far as I’m concerned . . . I will never walk away.”

The prince also offered a glimpse of life with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their son, Archie. He said they generally watch “Jeopardy” and Netflix programs before going to bed. Archie’s first word was “crocodile,” Harry said.

During the lighthearted segment, Corden and the prince tour Southern California. At one point they arrived outside the mansion where the opening sequence of Will Smith’s “Fresh Prince” was filmed.

“If it was good enough for the Fresh Prince, it’s good enough for a real prince,” Corden says, walking up the drive. “Do you remember the song?”

“Now this is the story, all about how, my life got flipped, turned upside down, now take a minute,” Harry raps.

Corden then jokingly tried to convince Harry to buy the mansion, placing a video call to Meghan to seek her support.

“I think we’ve done enough moving,” she said.

Meghan then asked “Haz” how his tour of Los Angeles was going, prompting Corden to ask about the nickname.

“I didn’t know we were calling you ‘Haz’ now,” he said.

“You’re not my wife,” Harry responded with a shrug.
