Lisa Vanderpump didn’t mince words while unexpectedly discussing Prince Harry during her appearance at BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas.
Noted Bravo fan Jerry O’Connell kicked off the Saturday, November 15, panel by sharing that his wife, Rebecca Romijn, recently flew on a plane with Harry, 41.
“My wife said, ‘Yeah, it was exciting, [but] not as exciting [as] when Lisa Vanderpump sat two rows back,’” O’Connell, 51, quipped.
Lisa, 65, had a succinct response, chiming in, “Well, I’m a loyal Brit. He isn’t, right? Come on, you know, I’m telling the truth.”
Harry, the son of the current king of England, famously grew up in the U.K., but has since moved to California with wife Meghan Markle and their two children. Harry and Meghan, 44, opted to move across the pond in 2020 after they stepped down from their duties as senior working royals. In that time, Harry has fought to obtain adequate security protections for his family whenever they visit. The Spare author recently lost his legal case on appeal.
As for Lisa, she also grew up in merry ole England before settling stateside and opening a slew of successful restaurants with her husband, Ken Todd.
“I think Beverly Hills is really my home, but I work here [in Las Vegas] so much, so it’s much easier for me to have my little Villa and Rosa [restaurants] here,” she said on Saturday. “I love Vegas. I think it’s the playground of the world, and growing up in London, in a suburb, when you’d come to Vegas, you’d never see anything like it. I still think it’s like that. It’s innovative, it’s moving forward, I feel safe here [and] it’s got this incredible energy.”

Amid Lisa’s entrepreneurial success, she joined the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills from season 1 to 9. While Lisa has fully moved on from carrying her diamond, she doesn’t have any grudges with the cast.
“You know what, I just saw Rachel Zoe. That’s the closest I’ve got to any of them. That’s about it,” she said, referring to the 54-year-old stylist who recently joined season 15. “I’m not going back. I did that. I did that for 10 years, and that was so many years ago. I’ve moved on and hopefully they have too.”
She added of her previous castmates, “I wish them well, I don’t really have a relationship with them, but my life is extraordinarily busy, and I personally don’t have any type of negativity.”
Instead, Lisa has led her own reality TV show, Vanderpump Rules, for nearly 12 seasons. The newest batch of episodes will feature an all-new group of hostesses and bartenders at her SUR bar in Hollywood.
“Some of these people have worked for me for years,” she teased of the new cast members. “And then, there’s a couple of others to freshen it up and ignite it a little, but I really think you’re gonna fall in love with them because they are naughty, they’re playful, they’re funny and they’re bloody gorgeous. It’s a great show, and I think Bravo is really excited about it, as am I. And it’s time to tell a different story.”
In addition to VPR, Lisa has also starred on the two-season Vanderpump Villa docuseries as she brings her hospitality prowess to various European destinations.
