1673122252Princess Diana\u2019s brother called idea of young William and Harry walking behind mother\u2019s coffin \u2018a barbarity’Prince Harry has shared details of an alleged row over whether he and his brother Prince William should walk behind their mother\u2019s coffin at her funeral, reports say.<\/p>\n
His leaked memoir Spare recalls Princess Diana\u2019s brother Earl Spencer objecting verbally to an idea for the two young princes to flank their mother\u2019s funeral cortege, describing it as \u201ca barbarity\u201d, according to The Telegraph.<\/p>\n
But a second plan drawn up to replace the first was rejected by Prince Harry, he claims, which would have required the Prince of Wales, then aged 15, to walk alone behind the coffin.<\/p>\n
The Duke of Sussex claims he did not want his brother to undergo the ordeal by himself, the newspaper reports.<\/p>\n

1673115109King Charles likely to be \u2018extremely pained\u2019 by Prince Harry\u2019s book, suggests biographerRoyal biographer Jonathan Dimbleby has suggested that King Charles will be \u201cextremely pained\u201d by Prince Harry\u2019s forthcoming book.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can only imagine he is extremely pained, very frustrated and would be very anxious to bring it to an end,\u201d he told the Today show, \u201cbecause his concern, as he has demonstrated since he came to the throne impeccably, is to act as head of state for a nation which we all know is in pretty troubled condition.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dimbleby has reportedly remained friends with the new King since Charles famously revealed he had been unfaithful to Diana after their marriage broke down during a 1994 ITV interview with him, nearly 30 years ago.<\/p>\n
The author of Charles\u2019s biography said he would be \u201cvery suprised\u201d if Harry wasn\u2019t invited to his father\u2019s coronation in May because \u201cthat would fuel the flames\u201d.<\/p>\n

1673112049Harry\u2019s claims are like that of a B-list celebrity, says Charles biographerRoyal biographer Jonathan Dimbleby has said Prince Harry\u2019s leaked memoir contains revelations one would expect from \u201ca kind of B-list celebrity\u201d, reports my colleague Maanya Sachdeva.<\/p>\n
Mr Dimbleby told BBC Radio 4\u2019s Today programme he was \u201cperplexed\u201d and \u201cat a loss\u201d over Harry\u2019s memoir, calling the duke a \u201cvery troubled man\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m concerned, incidentally, that everyone uses the word \u2018revelations\u2019,\u201d the 78-year-old broadcaster said. \u201cYes, there are obviously revelations about how he lost his virginity, taking drugs, and how many people he feels he might have shot down from his Apache. But those are the kind of revelations, in part, that you would expect, I suppose, from a B-list celebrity.<\/p>\n
What is \u201cmuch more significant\u201d, Dimbleby continued, are Harry\u2019s \u201callegations, complaints\u201d against the royal family. \u201cHis assertion that this is his side because so far there has only been one side. It seems to me I\u2019ve not heard the other side at all, because the other side is always silent,\u201d Dimbleby said.<\/p>\n

1673108989Prince Harry recalls role of late mother\u2019s hair as good luck charmPrince Harry has reportedly recalled how Meghan Markle placed pregnancy tests on his nightstand, next to a box containing a lock of his late mother Princess Diana\u2019s hair, as the couple were trying to concieve their first child.<\/p>\n
According to the MailOnline, Harry writes that Meghan took two at-home pregnancy tests in the bathroom of Nottingham Cottage in 2018, and he awoke to find that she had placed the two tests on his nightstand.<\/p>\n
Among only \u201ca few things\u201d on the nightstand was a \u201cblue box with my mother\u2019s hair\u201d, he reportedly writes, recalling: \u201cRight, I thought, good. Let\u2019s see what Mummy can do with this situation\u201d.<\/p>\n
The couple soon discovered that the tests were positive, and Harry reportedly describes thinking to himself: \u201cThank you, Mummy.\u201d<\/p>\n

1673105809Prince Harry addresses \u2018Uncle Andrew\u2019 scandal in new book, reports claimPrince Harry has reportedly addressed the scandal involving \u201cUncle Andrew\u201d in his leaked book Spare.<\/p>\n
According to US Weekly, which said it had obtained a copy of the memoir, the Duke of Sussex wrote that he \u201cnever imagined\u201d he\u2019d lose palace security after his uncle was permitted to retain it.<\/p>\n
In January 2022, Andrew was stripped off his royal title after he was accused of sexual assault by one of Epstein\u2019s trafficking victims, Virginia Guiffre. He previously claimed he had no recollection of ever meeting Giuffre and vehemently denied Giuffre\u2019s allegation.<\/p>\n
In his book, Harry reportedly wrote that Meghan worried their family would be left unprotected after they moved to Montecito, California, and he reassured her, saying: \u201cNever. Not in this climate of hate. Not after what happened to my mother [Princess Diana]. Also, not in the wake of my Uncle Andrew.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was embroiled in a shameful scandal, accused of the sexual assault of a young woman and no one had so much suggested that he lose his security. Whatever grievances people had against us, sex crimes weren\u2019t on the list,\u201d he reportedly writes.<\/p>\n
The Independent has contacted representatives for Prince Harry, Prince Andrew, and Penguin Random House for comment.<\/p>\n
