Prince Harry is a "very problematic person".
After the proliferation of previews of the autobiography "Spare" by the second son of King Charles III, the British newspaper The Times publishes some statements by Jonathan Dimbleby, a friend of the king, and former royal biographer, who said he was "perplexed" by the prince's memoirs .
« I'm concerned incidentally that everyone uses the word revelations. Yes, there are of course revelations about how he lost his virginity, took drugs, or how many people he could have knocked down from his Apache. But these are the kind of revelations you would expect, I suppose, from a B-list celebrity,” said Dimbleby, a former royal biographer.
"I think she built a narrative of her life that stems from her sense of loss ... from the death and loss of her mother," she said. As will be read in the book written together with the Pulitzer prize winner JR Moehringer to be released worldwide on January 10, King Charles III is "extremely saddened and very frustrated".
Among the most shocking statements is that of the "fight" between the brothers , with the future king physically assaulting his younger brother, knocking him to the ground and injuring him. An altercation that would have occurred in 2019: he would have faced him in his home branding Meghan as a "difficult, rude, offensive" woman.
Words to which Harry claims to have reacted by reproaching him for "parroting the narrative" of the island's populist press against his wife - foreign and of an African American mother -, up to a close exchange of insults at the end of which William would have grabbed him "at surprise" by the scruff, snatching a pendant from him and throwing him to the ground where he would have injured himself with the shards of a dog bowl shattered in the fall
The Duke of Sussex - self-exiled in the US since 2020 with his wife Meghan Markle - even confesses to having "abused cocaine" at the age of 17 and to having "killed 25 Taliban on a mission".
