Prince Harry’s role as “guest editor” for BBC News is getting a lot of play today because of his most recent guest: former President Barack Obama in his first post-presidential interview.
The interview, which has been a big story on the cable and broadcast networks today, aired this morning on BBC Radio, but was actually recorded in Toronto in September during the Invictus Games. The Prince asked the president for his thoughts on the day he left office, as well as his post-presidential work with the Obama Foundation.
BBC then got meta, interviewing Prince Harry about his interview with the president. In his role as a “guest editor” for BBC Radio Harry has used the platform to discuss topics like the military and the environment.
The Prince was asked whether the former president might be invited to his wedding. “We haven’t put the guest list together yet, so who knows whether he’s going to be invited or not. Wouldn’t want to ruin that surprise.”
