He said that his barber also started chanting the Latin phrase, which means “We have a new pope.”

“So the guy cutting my hair stopped cutting my hair,” Harry continued. “He was like, ‘Habemus papam!’ Then he finished up.”

After his haircut, Harry decided to check out the action.

“I was like, ‘Oh, I’m like a five-minute walk from there,’” he said. “So I walked over. It was wild.”

He also joked that it was unusual to see someone getting more attention than him.

“I was like, ‘Who is this getting all this attention?’” Harry teased.
