The Duke of Sussex was filmed screaming as he ventured through a spooky maze with Jimmy Fallon during his late night talk show, after a week of high-profile appearances in New York.
Harry did not participate in a typical interview with host Fallon, opting instead to become the first surprise guest to test out a Halloween experience called Jimmy Fallon’s Tonightmares at Rockefeller Center in the Big Apple.
His appearance on the TV show comes after days of assignments during an east coast trip without the Duchess of Sussex during the UN General Assembly’s High-Level Week and Climate Week.
In the segment, which aired on US network NBC, swear words were heard as Harry, who had a camera strapped to his chest, appeared nervous as he wandered through the maze.

In a comical moment, the Duke compared a ghostly figure to a famous Canadian singer.
‘Is that Michael Bublé? Well done mate,’ said Harry.
At the end of the experience, Harry pretended to throw a punch after being scared by an actor while posing for a photo with Fallon.
“Brace yourself for ten spine-tingling rooms that bring Jimmy’s worst nightmares to life, with sinister characters and scares around every corner,” according to The Tonight Show’s YouTube page.
It comes after Harry appeared as a star guest at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York on Tuesday, where he delivered an impassioned speech calling for action to tackle the “ubiquitous threat” the online world poses to children.
Speaking alongside members of Lesotho’s royal family at the United Nations headquarters, Harry told how the name of his charity Sentebale came from the country’s Sesotho language, which means ‘Forget me not’.
He had begun by saying in English: “Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests and friends” – and then repeating the greeting in Sesotho: “Morena, basali le bahlomphehi, baeti ba hlomphehang le metsoalle.”
He also addressed an audience on Tuesday about the “terrifying” impact of climate change as he celebrated the fifth anniversary of his sustainable tourism organization Travalyst.

Prince Harry spoke about his love for Lesotho – and addressed guests in both English and Sesotho – at an event at the United Nations headquarters in New York on September 24.
He recalled visiting Lesotho for the first time during a gap year in 2024 between leaving Eton and starting at Sandhurst Military Academy, as he spoke to fellow delegates including King Letsie III and Queen Masenate Mohato Seeiso.
Harry, 40, said: “The Royal Family of Lesotho, as well as Lesotho itself, have been a pillar of strength for me over the past twenty years and have welcomed me with open arms and so much kindness.
‘The beautiful mountain kingdom feels like a home away from home.
“That friendship has only grown stronger as we have worked together to tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing the Lesotho people and the rest of the world.”
Harry said he helped set up Sentebale two years after his first visit, adding: “The charity was founded in honor of our mothers and symbolizes our promise to always remember and advocate for the most vulnerable among us.
‘Our mission at Sentebale is simple but incredibly important: to help vulnerable children and young people in Lesotho and Botswana access essential healthcare services, receive care and support, and develop the life skills needed to thrive.
“By focusing on youth, we break generational cycles of trauma and outdated beliefs.”
The Duke’s Archewell Foundation launched the Parents Network last month as a support network for parents of children affected by online harm.
His appearance on the TV show also comes in the week that a US judge ruled that his US visa application should remain private, despite him admitting to drug use in his memoir.
Harry will briefly return to Britain next Monday to attend the annual WellChild awards.
