Prince Harry details his past romances for the first time in his new memoir, Spare. See what he said about Chelsy Davy, Cressida Bonas, Caroline Flack and more:
, the former senior royal still manages to make surprising new claims against his family and his life within the royal family.
"I took it all in: his familiar scowl, which had always been his default in dealings with me; his alarming baldness, more advanced than my own; his famous resemblance to Mummy, which was fading with time," Harry writes."With age. In some ways he was my mirror, in some ways he was my opposite. My beloved brother, my arch nemesis, how had that happened?"Harry writes about Queen Victoria saying"Pa once wanted to name me after her husband.
Harry says he didn't cry"not one tear" and that Charles did not hug him. He says he put his hand to Harry's knee and said"It's going to be OK." Harry talks about his childhood belief that Diana had not really died, saying it lasted for years. Harry recalls turning 13 days after his mother's death. His Aunt Sarah brought him Diana's final gift, saying she'd bought it prior to her death. It was an Xbox. Harry writes that the last time his mother called on the night her crash, he'd been playing with William and their cousins.
"Willy always hated it when anyone made the mistake of thinking us a package deal," Harry writes."He loathed it when Mummy dressed us in the same outfits... And now to attend the same school was pure murder." He recalls carrying an"electronic tracker and panic alarm" with him"at all times" in the event of a kidnapping. Harry writes that Diana felt threatened by his nanny"Tiggy.
. Noting that King Charles sat front and center during her show, Harry admits to being annoyed with his father for laughing at all the wrong times. He recalls that Charles once complained that his own father, Philip, had done the exact same things. "That's the only way I won't be tempted to have a go at them, and they won't be able to make any money out of me," Harry recalls telling his bodyguard. He compares the experience to"being in a coffin." Harry claims that both he and his older brother urged their father not to marry the future Queen Consort after his affair with Camilla had marked such a difficult time in their late mother's life.
Harry writes that the ceremony was delayed due to the Pope's death and he felt it might be Diana intervening from the beyond. He adds that of the wedding, he simply wished his father and Camilla would be happy. Harry shares his reaction to the experience, writing,"I sat back. Quietly I said: Is that all of it? It's… nothing. Just a straight tunnel. I'd always imagined the tunnel as some treacherous passageway, inherently dangerous, but it was just a short, simple, no-frills tunnel. No reason anyone should ever die inside it."
After William and Kate got engaged, Harry admits to being forced to think about his"singlehood" more.
