Jelly Roll hilariously left a lasting mark on Prince Harry.

In an Instagram video posted on Tuesday, November 19, Harry was seen sitting inside a tattoo parlor waiting for Tennessee singer and rapper Jelly Roll to arrive. Once the musician entered the room, Harry quickly noticed Jelly Roll was wearing nitrile tattoo gloves.

“We’re giving you a tattoo about the Invictus Games,” Jelly Roll said, to which Harry clarified, “Uh, no I came here to ask you to do the Invictus Games. There’s no tattoo in this. I can’t get a tattoo.”

The pair settled on a deal — Jelly Roll would give Harry his first tattoo in exchange for playing at the Invictus Games. After debating a spot for the new ink, the twosome settled on Harry’s neck.

“Wait, have you done this before?” Harry asked Jelly Roll, who replied, “Practically. Pretty much. Trust me, man, you wouldn’t want nobody else doing this but me.”

After giving the Duke of SusSєx his first tattoo, Jelly Roll handed Harry a mirror to admire the ink. “What’s that?” Harry exclaimed. “Dude, it’s enormous.” The camera zoomed in on a tattoo that read, “I am Jelly Roll.”

“Is that your name? Does that say ‘Jelly Roll’? You put your name on my neck?” Harry asked while looking at the tattoo, to which Jelly Roll denied any wrongdoing and quickly exited the room.

“How many people can say they tatted a Prince y’all? I am so thrilled to be performing at Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 Closing Ceremonies on February 16, 2025!” Jelly Roll captioned the post. “Tickets are available at invictusgames2025.ca/tickets. Here we go bubba – see you in February!”

Senior members of the British royal family generally eschew body modification, PopSugar reported in 2018. At the time, the outlet suggested that Prince Harry was unlikely to get any tattoos, despite having a reputation for being the most rebellious member of the royal family.

Since stepping down as a senior member of the royal family, Harry has made a plethora of huge changes in his life. Having moved to California with his wife Meghan Markle, the Duchess of SusSєx, the prince’s life is presumably very different from when he lived in London.

It’s also worth noting that Harry’s cousin, Princess Eugenie, has a small tattoo of a black circle subtly hidden by her left ear. Lady Amelia Windsor is also known to have a number of tattoos.

“Much has changed in my life and the world since 2019 when I first visited [Angola],” Harry said at the event on Monday, September 23. “In those five years, I’ve become a father for the second time,” he explained, referencing the birth of his daughter, Princess Lilibet, 3.

Harry continued, “While you don’t need children to have a stake in the future of our planet, I do know that my mother [Princess Diana] would have been horrified that anyone’s children or grandchildren would live in a world still infested with mines.”

Revealing why the charity’s work is so important to him, Harry explained, “As you know, The HALO Trust work in Angola meant a great deal to my mother carrying on her legacy is a responsibility that I take incredibly seriously and I think we all know how much she’d want us to finish this particular job.”
