Memoirs of Prince Harry compared with the revelations of “second-rate celebrities”: loss of virginity, drugs

No sooner had the scandalous book of memoirs of Prince Harry appeared on the shelves than excerpts from the autobiography of the son of the British king were torn apart by the press. The Duke of Sussex exceeded all expectations by sharing stories of his murders in Afghanistan, his mother, Princess Diana, drug addiction and even losing his virginity. Buckingham Palace is silent for now, but it is clearly accumulating anger. And experts compare the prince’s memoirs with the revelations of a B-list celebrity.”

The Duke of Sussex’s ‘explosive’ memoirs are about to be released, CNN compares to those taken for the Harry Potter saga: “In the midst of Potter mania, great efforts were made to ensure JK Rowling’s young readers were free of spoilers. The measures included swearing by publishers to secrecy, printers allegedly only being allowed to view portions of a book at a time, and retailers signing agreements.” Be that as it may, the press managed to get copies of Harry’s memoirs, excerpts from which the media shared with readers.

Former royal biographer Jonathan Dimbleby says he’s “baffled” by the Duke of Sussex’s memoir that it contains revelations that one would expect from a “B-list celebrity”.

On Tuesday, January 10, the book of Prince Harry’s memoirs under the eloquent title “Spare” is officially published in the UK, in which it is easy to see a hint of his role as the youngest son, whom his older brother William bypassed on the hierarchical ladder, becoming the crown prince with the accession of their father British monarchy.

According to the leaks, Harry said in his memoirs, among other things, that he killed 25 Taliban fighters (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation) during his business trip to Afghanistan and that he and his brother begged their father not to marry Camilla, who has become queen -consort.

Also impressive is Harry’s account of a fight with his brother Prince William in 2019 that left him “visibly injured”. According to the prince, the confrontation occurred during a heated conversation, during which the current heir to the throne grabbed the younger brother by the collar and threw him to the floor, and also called Meghan “difficult”, “rude” and “irritable”.

“I am puzzled. I’m at a loss. He is clearly a very restless person, – this is how royal expert Jonathan Dimbleby, who once interviewed Charles when he, being the Prince of Wales, revealed his relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles, described the prince’s autobiography. – By the way, I’m worried that everyone uses the word “revelations.” Yes, there are obviously revelations about how he lost his virginity, took drugs, and how many people he thought he could shoot with his Apache. But that’s kind of the kind of revelation I think you’d expect from a B-list celebrity.”

Dimbleby added: “I think he has built a narrative of his life that goes straight back to his sense of terrible loss…to the death of his mother and the loss of his mother.”

When asked how King Charles III should feel about this “prodigal son” book, Dimbleby replied: “I can only imagine that he is extremely distressed, very upset.”

But he said he would be surprised if Harry wasn’t invited to his father’s coronation because “it would just add fuel to the fire.”

In his memoir, Prince Harry claims he was not the real best man at his brother’s wedding, the Prince of Wales. According to reports in The Mirror, Harry said the sham was on behalf of two of William’s close friends, James Meade and Thomas Van Straubenzee, so they could avoid the scrutiny of their controversial personal lives.

The Duke of Sussex also claims that his brother “drank” rum hours before his wedding to Catherine Middleton and that he was drunk when he went out to greet people at a shopping center in London before the ceremony.

Harry said he felt “the aftermath of yesterday’s rum” on his “drunk” brother’s breath and that he offered mints to William as he rolled down the windows of their car, telling him, “You smell like alcohol.”

Recounting his own wedding seven years later, Harry reportedly claims that William ordered him to shave off his beard as he could not bear the idea of ​​his younger brother having a privilege that was denied to him as he was forced to shave off the beard before the wedding. “At some point, he actually ordered me, as an heir speaking to a spare, to shave,” he writes.

The memoir is published four months after the death of Harry’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and the beginning of his father’s reign as king, and follows years of turmoil for the royal family amid the Megsit crisis, the death of the Duke of Edinburgh, allegations of racism in the Sussexes interview with Oprah Winfrey and the long-standing enmity of the brothers-princes.
