Prince Harry's sex life confession in memoir causes TV hosts to 'feel sick' - "presenters Alex Cullen and Brooke Boney didn't hide how mortified they were as they heard how Prince Harry had described an X-rated encounter with Meghan."
Prince Harry's claims of 'villain' Camilla 'planting stories' shut down - "Jennie Bond, a former BBC royal correspondent, was quick to shut down the Duke of Sussex's claims about Queen Consort Camilla on Lorraine. Prince Harry accused his stepmother of using the British press to "rehabilitate" her image during his ITV interview with Tom Bradby. Reacting to the Prince's interview, Jennie insisted Camilla once told her she had "no interest in developing a special relationship with any member of the press", shutting down Harry's comments... Harry insisted "no part of any of the things that I've said are scathing towards any member of my family, especially not my stepmother" within his memoir."
King's former royal butler urges Harry to ‘walk away' after Prince's claims ‘don’t add up’ - "King Charles’s former butler said Prince Harry has said things he claims to “know don’t add up”, urging the Duke to “walk away from this”. Grant Harrold, 44, who was the King’s butler from 2004 to 2011, remarked on how surprised he was to hear of Harry’s “difficult” relationship with his father, and thought they were “close” and “loving”... “I think this is why I really agree with everyone saying it’s better to stop all this and walk away from this to see if they can salvage a relationship between father and son.”... Mr Harrold argued that even if there was something that Harry “feels is wrong or is not working right”, he didn’t “think this is the way to do it.” He added: “Rather than go and do a million pound Netflix deal or sell your story and do all the interviews, why not write an open letter to his father?”"
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle failed to 'get their story straight', PR guru claims - "Mr Coram James said that the Duke and Duchess have “made a very large amount of noise” but “in doing so have looked a bit insincere in their telling of the fact that what they want is a quiet life". He continued: "The optics of that have created scepticism from the start.""
Expert claims 'discredited' Prince Harry made ‘serious mistakes’ in Megxit memoir Spare - "Harry, 38, discusses his uniform at Eton and refers to Henry VI, who founded the school, as “my great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather”. But Henry VI had only one son, Edward of Westminster, who died as a teenager without any children. Elsewhere in the book, Harry reflects on the Queen Mother’s funeral and the jewels on her coffin. The Koh-i-Noor, he says, is the “largest diamond ever seen by human eyes”. Yet it is the Cullinan Diamond, also part of the Crown Jewels, that the Royal Collection Trust website describes as “the largest diamond ever found”. Hugo Vickers, a royal biographer and historian, told The Times that the “quite serious” mistakes “discredit” Harry and his memoir. Mr Vickers said: “If he can get those sorts of things wrong, what else can he get wrong, you ask yourself. “I’m horrified by the amount of mistakes that have been found, both historical and also in relation to things he did.”... Harry claimed that the Queen, then the Duchess of Cornwall, had suggested that he should become the governor-general of Bermuda. However, it has been raised that Bermuda does not have a governor-general — as a British overseas territory, not a Commonwealth realm, it has a governor instead. Beyond the historical and constitutional matters, the high street retailer TK Maxx has raised questions over whether Harry, who shopped at their stores, really did take advantage of sales... “Whilst we’re delighted Prince Harry is a big fan, we thought we should explain we don’t actually do sales."
Prince Harry’s Megxit memoir questioned as Air NZ debunk Thomas Markle flight claim - "Prince Harry’s claims in his new memoir ‘Spare’ have been questioned after he said Meghan Markle booked a flight for her father, Thomas Markle, which the airline has said never existed... Prince Harry said that his wife, Meghan Markle, booked a first-class ticket from Mexico to Britain for her father, Thomas Markle, after they were concerned about harassment by the media... Air New Zealand has come out and said they do not run a flight between Mexico and the UK. They added that they also do not provide a first-class service, only a business-class option... Another claim that some critics have been questioning in ‘Spare’ is Prince Harry’s retelling of learning about the death of the Queen Mother, his great-grandmother. The royal has said he received the news on the phone before Easter while he was at school at Eton College. However, Robert Jobson, the royal editor of the Evening Standard, has pointed out that Prince Harry was in Klosters, Switzerland, when the Queen Mother died."
Prince Harry says his memory 'curates as it sees fit' in staggering admission after claims - "Prince Harry has admitted to suffering from a "spotty memory" when writing his bombshell memoir, but insisted his version of events has "just as much truth" as "so-called objective facts"."
Falsehoods only matter when they can be used to push the liberal agenda, e.g. "fact checking" Trump
Prince Harry says he has enough for SECOND book - but royals would 'never forgive me'
Spare review: The weirdest book ever written by a royal - "Prince Harry's memoir, Spare, is part confession, part rant and part love letter. In places it feels like the longest angry drunk text ever sent... What's missing from the book is any sense of awareness of any wider context of the rest of the world outside... So who will be most upset about all these revelations in his book? Netflix mostly. They paid a prince's ransom for six hours of TV waffle and the smug contents of an Instagram feed, whereas the book crackles like a burning log with something bizarre on almost every page. Plenty of the book will get people irritated too, particularly its self-absorption. He talks about a row over people parking near his palace accommodation with more detail than you'd expect from a small war. There are some off-the-wall claims too, such as comparing the Spice Girls' "crusade against sexism" with "Mandela's struggle against apartheid"... It feels a bit divorced dad telling everyone he's not bitter, he doesn't mind that he paid for everything, really, not bitter at all, just wishing them both well..."
Prince Harry claims in Spare refuted as one is proven to be completely untrue - "Harry details his 13th birthday, which came around on September 15, 1997, just weeks after the tragic death of his mother Princess Diana. As he was given cake and sorbet during a celebration, he explains that he was asked to make a wish, and was thinking of Diana when "out of nowhere" his aunt Sarah appeared holding a box. He tore at the wrapping paper, peered inside and saw he had received an Xbox... "That's the story, anyway. It's appeared in many accounts of my life, as gospel, and I have no idea if it's true. Pa said Mummy hurt her head, but perhaps I was the one with brain damage? As a defence mechanism, most likely, my memory was no longer recording things quite as it once did." It does appear that Harry might be getting confused, as the Xbox wasn't actually available to buy until four years later... Recalling their first meeting after weeks of messaging, Harry says she was wearing a black sweatshirt, jeans and heels... Meghan has previously revealed that she wore a blue dress for their first meeting... One of the first mentions of Queen Consort Camilla is early in the book when Harry meets her for the first time. He later recalls pleading with his father not to marry her and writes that a wedding would cause "controversy". Meanwhile, he also details the couple's wedding day in April 2005, and said he "knew without question that this marriage would take Pa away from us" and had mixed feelings that day. One person who has poured doubts on these claims is Grant Harrold, a former royal butler, who worked for Charles and Camilla for seven years - and said he saw an excitable Harry at their nuptials... Harry says as his plane began its descent "my phone lit up" with a text from Meghan telling him to call her - and it prompted him to check the BBC website, where he learned "Granny was gone. Pa was King". However, royal sources previously insisted that Harry was told the news of the Queen's passing before an official statement confirming it was released... "Willy was glum at having so little say in what he wore to get married, at having his autonomy taken from him on such an occasion. He'd told me several times that he felt frustrated."... biographer Robert Hardman says when he talked to William shortly after his wedding, he was not glum about the uniform he had to wear that day."

GB News row erupts as Dan Wootton clashes with guest over Harry 'lies' claim about him - ""[Harry] writes specifically about me and the Megxit story and he completely lied by saying that I was working with the Palace. "Conspiring with the Palace to break that story and that is a point-blank lie. "So I know there are lies in that book. There's one about me, that's how I know.""
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may lose Netflix renewal as couple 'lose mystique' - "With the Duke of Sussex exposing so much of his life already in interviews and his new book, anything else after that will seem less interesting, the source said. They added: “Do you see Beyonce sitting posting photos of herself on the toilet, no. As soon as you start talking, start posting, you lose some mystique". They also claimed that, although the Sussexes had been in talks for various branding deals, nothing has been signed... the couple had been in talks with Oprah Winfrey and Netflix as far back as 2018 - over a year before it came out that they wanted to relinquish their senior royal duties."
Police rage at Harry as they order him to 'stop slagging off' William and Charles - "The Bromsgrove Police Safer Neighbourhoods Twitter account responded to a clip of Harry saying in a BBC interview: "I would like to get my father back, I would like to have my brother back." The team responded to his comments: "Maybe stop slagging them off??""
Prince Harry claims he knew he was born in case William needed blood or organ donation - "The Duke of Sussex has made a number of disclosures about life as a royal that the family would normally keep private, such as his father's chronic neck and back pain due to playing polo."
What Prince Harry really owes to Sir Edward Young, Simon Case and Sir Clive Alderton - "Until now, the Duke of Sussex’s three-year whinge-fest against the Royal household had referred obliquely to “the institution”, a faceless monolith constructed to crush his hopes and dreams. In his memoir, he focuses his anger on three individual courtiers, though his loathing for them is such that he cannot bring himself to utter their names. They are the Bee, the Fly and the Wasp, “middle-aged white men who’d managed to consolidate power through a series of bold Machiavellian manoeuvres”... Their crime, in Harry’s eyes, was to stand in the way of what he wanted and to effectively force him into exile against his will. There are, however, two sides to every story, as Harry himself has been keen to point out as he promotes his memoir, Spare. Their job, as well as protecting the monarchy at all costs, was to save Prince Harry from himself. If they ignored the Duke’s pleadings, it was because they hoped that his self-described “red mist” would dissipate with time, and that he would see that those with more experience than him – not least his grandmother – might actually know what they were talking about. Royal insiders are also keen to point out that Harry is directing his fire at the wrong target. While it may be “emotionally a softer landing” to blame the staff, they were merely acting on orders, which came from people he loved"
Why Harry and Meghan’s timing is always impeccable - "If nothing else, you really have to admire the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s aptitude for timing. Just when one is needed, a precision, laser-guided PR bomb drops. An Exocet missile of melodrama, a lethal Molotov mocktail: subtle enough for the intention to be roundly denied by their spokespeople, but plain enough for the world to comprehend. The latest is, of course, the publication of Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare. The timing is canny: it will be published on Tuesday, Jan 10, the day after the Princess of Wales’ 41st birthday. It follows the release of Harry & Meghan, the couple’s Netflix documentary series, in December. The two trailers to promote it were timed impeccably. In the first, there’s one frame in particular: a still from the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey in 2019. Meghan, angelic in white and neutral in expression, sits behind the then Duchess of Cambridge, who is in the centre of the image looking like the Wicked Witch of the West. And, of course, the trailer's release coincided with the Prince and Princess of Wales’ attempt to charm the US with their visit to Boston for the Earthshot Prize. Sources insist the timing is accidental, but it’s also everything. You can’t say they’re without form… in the same month, a complaint was made claiming the Duchess drove two personal assistants out of the household, and was undermining the confidence of a third staff member... This was at the same time as the couple were launching legal action against the Mail on Sunday and Associated Newspapers over articles that reproduced a handwritten letter Meghan had sent her father... The Sussexes’ self-extrication culminated in an earth-shattering 90-minute interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired while the Duke of Edinburgh was in hospital... Just as the dust settled in a tumultuous year for the Queen, including the Oprah interview, the continuing scrutiny over Prince Andrew’s Jeffrey Epstein-adjacent shenanigans and the death of the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Harry announced he would publish – though not necessarily write – a “raw, unflinching” memoir... In the week that the Prince and Princess of Wales attempted to garner themselves some attention, the Duchess of Sussex’s podcast comes to an end and here come not one but two trailers for their “behind the scenes” Netflix documentary, with a telling still at its heart. The Waleses’ tour had been planned for at least six months. They managed to keep the Sussexes off the front pages for about 12 hours."
Meghan Markle will 'never return to the UK,' royal expert claims - "Royal author Phil Dampier has slammed Prince Harry for 'running to his lawyers like a Hollywood star' after threatening BBC with legal action over reports he didn't ask the Queen about calling his daughter Lilibet... 'I don't think William trusts Harry anymore and he is always worried that anything he says will end up in the press in two or three days' time,' he said. 'That's what he is worried about, and he needs to be cautious of what he can actually say to him.'"
Meghan Markle Spotify podcast: Royal expert says 'show must go on' after fire in Archie's room - "Meghan Markle would have known that the 'show must go on' and her engagements had to continue after a 'fire' broke out in her son Archie's room in South Africa where he was meant to be sleeping, a royal expert said... Meghan said in the Spotify podcast released yesterday that she was obliged to continue with official engagements, accusing those running the tour of concentrating on 'how it looks, instead of how it feels'... 'Meghan outraged that she had to go on another royal engagement in South Africa after she heard there was a fire in baby Archie's room. Nasty to hear but as an actress doesn't she know the show must go on. Luckily he wasn't there but odd it was never leaked to the press.'"
Prince Harry's claims that contradict previous admissions - and things omitted from Spare - "Following their 2018 engagement, Meghan and Harry sat down for a joint interview in which they claimed they were set up on a blind date by a mutual friend. When asked whether it was a set-up, both Harry and Meghan laughed, with the former Suits actress saying: "Yes, it was definitely a set-up - it was a blind date." However, in their docu-series, which dropped on Netflix last month, the pair revealed they had actually FaceTimed before meeting in the flesh for the first time at 76 Dean Street in London's Soho. But in his book Harry does not talk about them FaceTiming - only that they exchanged messages before their first date... Another claim that sparked confusion from Harry and Meghan's Oprah interview was the claim they married two days before their Windsor wedding in the garden of Kensington Palace. Meghan told Oprah: "You know, three days before our wedding, we got married. No one knows that." She added: "But we called the archbishop and we just said, 'Look, this thing, this spectacle is for the world but we want our union between us.' So, the vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the archbishop of Canterbury." However, in his book, Harry clears up the confusion and that the ceremony in the garden was "unofficial, non-binding, except in our souls"... One of Harry's most explosive claims in his Netflix docuseries is that his brother William "screamed and shouted" at him during the so-called Sandringham Summit. The Queen summoned the now King and his sons William and Harry to her Norfolk estate to try to resolve the Megxit crisis in January 2020, but it was ultimately decided Harry and Meghan could not be half in and half out. And it is in this meeting that Harry said William left him terrified by screaming and shouting at him. However, there is no mention in the book of William "screaming and shouting" or Harry being "terrified"."

South Park Roasts Prince Harry, Meghan Markle’s Worldwide Privacy Tour - "The show stopped short of naming the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but the episode, titled The Worldwide Privacy Tour, was heavily laden with references to the duo. The story centers on a visit to the town of South Park by the Prince of Canada and his wife, who say they are seeking privacy and seclusion... In conversations with a “branding manager”, the prince is described as, “Royal prince, millionaire, world traveler, victim.” His wife gets the tagline: “Sorority girl, actress, influencer, and victim.”"

Samantha Markle: My sister Meghan, Prince Harry have spread 'so many lies' about our family - "Much of the drama surrounding the Markle family dates back to 2018. In April, Samantha and her brother, Thomas Markle Jr. revealed they were "baffled" when the royal couple snubbed them from the wedding guest list. "At issue is not a matter of closeness as more than 1000 complete strangers are invited. Family is family," [Samantha Markle] tweeted after learning her sister was leaving her family out of the event... "Smoke and mirrors cannot hide the elephant in the room. Out of respect, tradition, and humanitarianism, the #Markles should be invited if 2000 complete strangers are invited. Our uncle who got her the internship, brother, me, best friend of 30 years Nikki Priddy, nephews. Fact."... she was hurt by Meghan's claims and the "fake news" which painted her family as a house divided, arguing that was never the case... Samantha showed photos of the two of them together at various stages of their respective upbringing, including one from Samantha’s college graduation in 2008, which flies in the face of Meghan’s claim that they hadn’t seen each other in almost two decades. Meghan also alleged during her interview that Samantha had changed her last name to Markle in her 50s, shortly after she began dating Prince Harry. However, Samantha showed proof that her name has been Markle much longer - including a petition for name change dated 1997 - as well as her college diploma, which clearly states her name as Markle. Carlson asked Samantha about Meghan's characterization of her in the controversial Netflix documentary in the Fox Nation episode, to which Samantha slammed her half-sister's claims that she called her "Princess Pushy." "She was lying, absolutely," Samantha said. "When all of this was happening, and the fake news media was out there, the headlines were out there, I was looking at this going, 'wait a minute, I never called her Princess Pushy. That's a media construct, and that's not how I talk.' And I never said she's got a soft spot for gingers. That's British jargon, that's not how I talk.""
Clearly Meghan is telling the truth and Samantha faked photos and documents to make her look bad

Prince Harry’s ‘public breakdown’: ‘Unstable’ behaviour as royal boasts about marijuana use - "The public seems to be witnessing a “very public breakdown” of Prince Harry following the “disgraced” royal family member’s latest detailed exploits, says Sky News contributor Dominique Samuels... "For someone who says how happy we are – his behaviour is that of someone who is really quite unstable.”"
Reasons why psychologist believes Prince Harry's book is a 'big call for help' - "The Duke of Sussex’s autobiography, Spare, has become the fastest-selling non-fiction book of all time, says its publisher Penguin Random House... The Duke is just the latest royal to harness the power of the media to get his story across, and he won’t be the last. His parents also turned to the media in what was dubbed as 'The War of the Waleses' during their divorce nearly three decades ago. When then Prince Charles sat down with presenter Jonathan Dimbleby in 1994 to admit adultery, Diana launched a counter-narrative campaign in 1995 spilling more marriage secrets including that famous "Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded" quote, they set precedent... Why has Harry embarked on a path that sees him give interviews and court the media, an institution that he sometimes appears to show contempt toward?... “This gave me more of a sense of the self-construct that he lives in. In the book, there is very little reference to the external world. It is an autobiography, so it is entirely about him, but he makes little or no reference to what life might have been like in the outside world.”... "My anxiety would be that this book almost feels to me like an act of self-sabotage."... Spare goes into unflinching detail of highly personal instances including Harry's sexual exploits, drugs and reported attacks by family members. There appears to be very little duty of care towards Harry, something that Robert was keen to add to. He said: "The book does seem a little bit dysregulated in many ways. Some parts I have looked at, read rather strangely. "If someone is dysregulated, they often overshare information in a way that is inappropriate. It’s not necessarily writing about the use of drugs, or losing one’s virginity or anything else that may be inappropriate, but the way they have been shared, which speaks to a degree of dysregulation."... "He might feel a degree of catharsis in this moment. But you don’t achieve trauma resolution through the writing of a book. Yes we do trauma journaling, but his book reads like a love letter, a trauma journal. There is something almost cartoonish about it in some ways and also profoundly sad as well.""
This is so charitable
Prince Harry goes nuclear as he takes on King Charles, royals and the media - "He was not just in London to share chia pudding recipes with fellow claimant Sadie Frost or to use up flight credit or because it is impossible to get a decent white fried slice in California. Rather, he was there to indulge in his two favourite pastimes – giving Fleet Street a good kicking and launching a fresh, bruising PR assault on the royal family. And for that reason the by now probably-broken-from-overuse alarm bell at Buckingham Palace should be ringing loudly. The Duke of Sussex’s presence in London this week, the fact he flew 10 and a half hours to ensure that the world’s attention was on what is going on inside court 76, is definitive proof that the man is just not going to stop... Confirmation of this came on the second day of the preliminary hearing, when Harry, via a witness statement, accused the royal family of covering up phone hacking, saying: “The institution was without a doubt withholding information from me for a long time.” (Side note: Harry is the first member of the royal family to appear in a courtroom since Princess Anne in 2002 when she ended up with a criminal conviction after her dog bit two children.) Sigh. Every time I think Harry must have said everything he could possibly say, allege, and sling overarm at the Palace, that he must surely be done with it, he pops up like an aggrieved whack-a-mole with a troop of high-priced lawyers (who must now basically be living in his pool house) to have another go... His Majesty made the decision to boot them out of their rent-free, UK home Frogmore Cottage within 24-hours of Spare thudding onto bestseller lists. While the couple might have known then they had to vacate the five-bedroom designer home, they only found out when their eviction was made public in late February, that their place had been “earmarked” for his disgraced uncle Prince Andrew, The Telegraph has reported. Ouch... The last two years have seen his relationship with his family go from bad to Titanic-ly worse. More Americans have a negative view of the Sussexes than a positive one and the majority of Brits (64 per cent as of this month’s polling) think poorly of him. Five years ago, Harry and the late Queen were neck and neck for top spot when it came to Britain’s favourite member of the royal family. Today, there is speculation that the Duke will be booed by the public if he goes to his father’s coronation. In short, it’s hard to think of a fall from popularity, adoration and public life more precipitous or dramatic. (Andrew doesn’t count – he has never been popular with anyone aside from his ex-wife, Middle Eastern trade ministers happy to pony up free first-class flights, and whoever managed to convince him to buy his tacky Bentley.) And still, Harry with his witness statement this week, is ploughing on, demonstrating a dogged, self-destructive refusal to seemingly waste any opportunity to aim a quick right-hook at The Firm... The man seems physically incapable of opening his mouth and not taking a pot shot at his relatives. His regular Starbucks order is probably a venti decaf oat milk mocha while droning on at the barista about how William got more sausages than him at breakfast. Harry’s London appearance is cold, hard evidence that even after Netflix and Spare, even in the face of all the consequences, he has no intention of retreating or deciding to let go of past royal family mistakes, as he sees them. When it comes to his crusade against The Firm, he is like a Terminator with a serious chip on his shoulder, plenty of grudges and what I’m assuming are a baker’s dozen of barristers who by now live in his pool house. Arnie’s cyborg iconically intoned, “I’ll be back” and this week Harry proved, so would he – on home turf, in the headlines and trying to skewer the Palace for the umpteenth time"
