Watch | UK PM Rishi Sunak Shares ‘Home Alone’ Inspired Christmas Video, Parodies ‘Harry’

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is seen as a serious and dedicated politician but he revealed an alternative aspect of his persona in a Home Alone-style Christmas video message shot at 10 Downing Street.

Sunak is seen handwriting a letter at his desk at an empty No. 10 Downing Street as the video begins when he suddenly exclaims: “Am I the only one here?”

The scene then changes to Sunak bowling a ball at stacked empty cans of Coca Cola which have been stacked in three rows to look like stumps.

Chief Mouser to the Prime Minister Larry the Cat also makes an appearance as Sunak is pictured snuggling the official resident cat at 10 Downing Street.

Sunak is then seen eating a plate of spaghetti with maple syrup while watching the 2003 film Elf. The final part of the video where the camera pans to the UK Prime Minister answering a phone call in the No 10 press office before saying “Harry, you have got the wrong number,” sparked a social media trend with many thinking it was a subtle dig at Prince Harry.

A separate report by UK-based newspaper The Telegraph said the bit was a likely reference to Harry Cole, The Sun’s political editor.

The UK-based journalist earlier this year reported that Sunak’s phone number was leaked. He said in a report published in The Sun that Sunak’s phone number was published online.

Sunak also spoke to Politico before Christmas where he revealed that he always is in charge of cooking the turkey. “I always brine then cook the turkey, I hate the cooking, but no one else will do it! And watch The Snowman with my daughters on Christmas Eve followed by The Holiday on Christmas Day,” Sunak said.

Sunak is married to Akshata Murty and has two daughters Krishna and Anoushka.
