Famous last words: "All right, screw it."

Prince Harry needed a favour from Jelly Roll, and he paid the price.

In a hilarious new promo video posted Tuesday (Nov. 19), the royal agrees to get a tattoo from the country star in exchange for a performance at the 2025 Invictus Games — taking place February in Vancouver, B.C. — but for all the ink Jelly boasts on his face, he didn’t prove to be as experienced behind the needle as Harry would’ve probably hoped.


The clip opens with the Spare author waiting in a tattoo parlor to discuss the performance with the musician, who eventually bursts into the room and says, “I could not believe it when they called me and told me Prince Harry wanted to get a tattoo today, and he wanted me to give him his first tattoo!”

A confused, somewhat terrified Harry then clarifies, “I came here to ask you to do the Invictus Games, there’s no tattoo in this.” But the “Son of a Sinner” singer cuts him a deal: “I’ll play the Invictus Games, [if] you just let me give you your first tattoo.”

Harry’s response? “All right, screw it” — famous last words. Jelly proceeds to ink “I am Jelly Roll” in enormous letters on the Duke of Sussex’s neck, which doesn’t go over well. “Dude, it’s enormous!” shouts Harry as Jelly books it out of the room. “You put your name on my neck? Are you serious? Oh, s–t.”

But while the prince’s skin will never be the same, nor will the 2025 Invictus Games now that Jelly is locked in as the event’s headliner. Founded by Harry in 2014, the weeklong event supports the recovery journeys of international wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women.

The announcement comes the same day as the news that Jelly will be joining Post Malone for a North American stadium tour kicking off in April. The Tennessee native also recently picked up two new Grammy nominations, for best country solo performance and best country song for “I Am Not Okay” off his Billboard 200-topping album Beautifully Broken.

And now, he has one more milestone under his belt. “How many people can say they tatted a Prince y’all?” Jelly wrote on Instagram, sharing the video.
