Prince Harry is protected by armed bodyguards ahead of The Late Show interview

Prince Harry continued his promotion of his new memoir by talking to Stephen Colbert stateside.

He turned up at the studio on Monday ready to follow up his chat with Tom Bradby on ITV and Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes, both of which aired on Sunday.

The 38-year-old was in Manhattan for the interview, which will be shown on Tuesday evening, and was was accompanied by a security guard who was carrying a Glock lock-box, which is used to carry a gun and ammunition.

The Duke of Sussex has often spoken out about his safety fears and it seems he's taking no chances as he continues his publicity tour.

Previously, Harry had been blocked from having private armed guards with him in the UK, leading to him taking legal action against British authorities.

After stepping down as a working member of the royal family, Harry lost his taxpayer-funded security deal, much to his disappointed.

He claims it is one of the reasons he has signed a number of lucrative deals, including his new memoir, which reportedly earned him $20million prior to its release by Penguin Random House.

Harry's chat with Stephen will be his latest stateside discussion about the book. Speaking to Anderson, Harry claimed Queen consort Camilla's need to rehabilitate her image before marrying King Charles III made her dangerous.

He labelled her a "villain" and was wary of the way she was forming relationships within the press at the time.

He told the journalist: "There was open willingness on both sides to trade of information. And with a family built on hierarchy, and with her, on the way to being Queen consort, there was gonna be people or bodies left in the street because of that."

He then admitted he feels as though he was one of the bodies, believing that both Camilla and his father had often used him in a way better their own coverage.

"If you are led to believe, as a member of the family, that being on the front page, having positive headlines, positive stories written about you, is going to improve your reputation or increase the chances of you being accepted as monarch by the British public, then that's what you're gonna do," he added.
