They say blondes have all the fun, but let’s talk about the real stars here—our favorite ginger icons, Prince Harry and Ed Sheeran. These two powerhouse redheads teamed up for World Mental Health Day, and let me tell you, they brought the laughs, the charm, and a whole lot of heart. While chatting about their fiery locks, they bonded over the struggles of being teased for their auburn manes.

In a video posted on the 35-year-old royal’s Instagram page (yes, the one he shares with Duchess Meghan), we see Harry and Ed, 28, laughing it up about their red hair. Ed, known for his mega hits like “Shape of You,” joked that both he and Harry have faced their fair share of ribbing over their unique hair color.

“I’ve been trying to write a song about this to get the word out there,” Ed said to Harry as they sat side by side. “People just don’t get what it’s like for us redheads. All the jokes, the snide comments—it’s time we stood up and said, ‘We’re ginger, and we’re proud.’”

But Harry, ever the professional, had to bring Ed back down to earth. “Um, OK, this is a bit awkward,” Harry interjected with a laugh. “There may have been a little mix-up. This is actually about World Mental Health Day.”

Realizing his mistake, Ed quickly deleted the title of his new song, “Gingers Unite,” from his computer. But eagle-eyed fans noticed something else on the screen—a proposed meeting outline that hilariously referred to “HRH Prince Harry and the king of ging Ed Sheeran” coming together to change perceptions of people with “Moroccan sunset hair.”

From Humor to Heart: The Serious Side of Their Chat

After the laughter died down, the video took a more serious tone. Harry and Ed turned to the camera to deliver an important message. “Reach out, make sure your friends, even strangers, are okay. Look out for anyone who might be suffering in silence,” Harry urged. “We’re all in this together. Cheers.”

The red-haired duo teased their much-anticipated collaboration by sharing a sneak peek video on Harry and Meghan’s Instagram page on October 9. In the clip, Ed rings the doorbell, and Harry greets him with a casual “Hi, mate.” The two immediately bonded over their uncanny resemblance. “It’s like looking in the mirror,” Harry joked, noting that Ed was even wearing a similar grey polo shirt. “Do you mind if I bring the cameras in?” Ed asked, to which Harry replied, “Of course, yeah, come on in, guys.” The video closed with a teaser: “Coming soon… 10 October.”
