Prince Harry was tricked into talking about 'Megxit' during an astonishing phone call with Russian pranksters who pretended to be Greta Thunberg.

During the prank call, Harry said that he was 'completely separate' from the royal family and had chosen to step back from royal life in order to protect his son. Harry also spoke about climate change, Donald Trump, and Prince Andrew while having two conversations with hoaxers who posed as Thunberg and her father, Svante. 

While speaking about Donald Trump, Harry said, "I think the mere fact that Donald Trump is pushing the coal industry is so big, he has blood on his hands. It is because the effect that has on the climate and the island nations far, far away, again out of sight out of mind. But we've visited those places and I'm sure you have as well. People's lives have been completely destroyed. People are dying every single month by some form of natural disaster created from this huge change in our climate." 

He told the pranksters that "marrying a prince or princess isn't all it's made up to be" and shared that his military service had made him "more normal than my family would like to believe". He had also labeled the British political system 'broken'.

Russian pranksters Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov made the hoax call to Harry and then shared the footage online. It is believed that Harry took the calls on New Year's Eve and January 22 while he was staying in Vancouver Island in Canada. 

While on the call, he also shared that he and Meghan were finding normality 'much better' than royal life. He also went on to talk about his disgraced uncle Prince Andrew who was slammed for his association with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Harry shared that Andrew "is completely separate from me and my wife". 

"I have very little to say on that. But whatever he has done or hasn't done, is completely separate from me and my wife. We operate in a way of inclusivity and we are focusing on community. We are completely separate from the majority of my family," Harry revealed.
