In Harry’s autobiography “Spare part. The little one”, there would be several anecdotes and details that would not tally with the reality of the facts and would undermine the Duke’s credibility. Many have not escaped the press or Sussex fans, who have not hesitated to report them.
“The Past Never Dies”
“In what I remember and as I remember lies the same truth as in the so-called objective facts. Details like chronology… are often fairy tales we tell ourselves,” says Harry, then quotes a quote from Faulkner: “The past never dies. It’s not even past.” That’s one of the biggest contradictions in Spare. The Little One Duke of Sussex He would argue that items like dates or cause-and-effect connections are trivial details. It’s not like that at all (just to give an example, also in a trial it’s these details on which the defense and the prosecution are based and on which a verdict, so a person’s fate is based. I’m not sure about speaking). It seems that the prince is making up for the facts that he doesn’t remember well. But that didn’t stop him from writing his memoir and having Penguin Random House call it “a definitive account” of his life.
The Dukes of Windsor
At the beginning of the work is the Prince Harry reveals that Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson wished to be buried together in the Royal Cemetery of Frogmore: “The Queen, my grandmother, had granted them, but placed them at a certain distance from all others under a curved plane tree”. The of Il interviewed expert Hugo Vickers disagrees at all with this reconstruction, calling it “an affront” because it would suggest that even after their deaths, the Dukes of Windsor would have been viewed almost as outcasts and that, somehow, Elizabeth II punish their rebellion.The expert explains: “In fact, the Queen wanted the flags at half-mast in honor of the Duchess…on the day of her funeral”.
“My work is done”
In the book, Harry writes that the moment of Then Prince Charles she saw him for the first time, right after he was born, he would have exclaimed and turned to her Lady Diana: “Magnificent! Now you have given me an heir and a reserve: my work is done”. The duke considers that the phrase may never have been uttered or could only be a “joke”, but then realizes: “… Often people joke about the truth”. There is also another version of this story. It seems that the current ruler hoped to have a girl as his second son. Quoted in Andrew Morton’s book “Diana. The True Story From Her Words”. of Il Messaggero, the Princess of the People tells: “I knew Harry was going to be a boy, I saw it on the ultrasound, but Carlo always wanted a girl… Don’t tell him.” The heir to the throne at the time would have on Harry’s day He found out the truth when he saw his son, and when he saw his son he was disappointed to say, “Oh god, he’s a boy and he even has red hair.” : “What kind of a disappointment that was. I was hoping it would be a girl.” Diana’s mother, Frances Kidd, didn’t let him get away with it, replying, “You should consider yourself lucky that he’s a healthy baby instead!”.
The Queen Mother’s Death
“I was studying at Eton when I got a call. I’m not sure who was on the other end of the line, but I think it was a palace official. I remember it was almost Easter… ‘Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother is dead’”. This is how Harry remembers the day he found out about his mother’s disappearance queen elizabeth. However, historians and experts point out that the Duke could not have been at Eton at the time: “[Harry] it was in Klosters … the whole scene was made up,” Hugo Vickers always tells . On March 30, 2002, when Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon died, Charles, William and Harry were skiing in Switzerland. There are also photos taken the day before and a note from the palazzo announcing the return of the heir and children for March 31, 2002. The Duke may have forgotten about the episode, although it seems quite odd and even more incredible that the appropriate checks would have been made.
Diana’s last gift
“… He was holding a box: ‘Open it, Harry.’ I ripped off the paper and tape and peeked in… ‘Mom just told you…’, ‘You mean in Paris’, ‘Yes, in Paris’. It was an Xbox.” Harry recalls his birthday, shortly after his mother’s death. He states that his maternal aunt, Sarah, brought him the gift he had bought princess a few days before its dramatic end. His last gift to Harry. But something doesn’t add up: the Xbox actually wouldn’t have come out until four years later. However, the Duke admits: “I have no idea if [questa storia] is true…Probably due to some defense mechanism, my memory wasn’t registering events as before.”
The Wedding of Charles and Camilla
Harry would also remember a detail related to the marriage of carol and Camilla, in 2005. In the memoir, he states that he observed the ceremony “standing by the altar”. Hugo Vickers, on the other hand, contradicts: “Harry sat next to William, not as he writes standing next to the altar”. Then the Duke claims that the Queen chose not to attend the wedding. That would not be correct. Vickers points out: “[Elisabetta II] he only attended … the blessing in the chapel” at St George’s Chapel, not the public service at Guildhall.
The wrong dress
The prince also makes another memory error while discussing his first date Megan Markle In Soho House, London, he writes that his wife-to-be “was wearing a black jumper, jeans, heels.” Too bad the Duchess said in an interview in September 2018, quoted by the Chron, that she had “chosen a blue dress” for the occasion. A scrap of fabric, he reveals, was sewn into his wedding dress (detailed in the video of the interview) to respect the tradition that the bride must have “something blue” with her.
The Death of Queen Elizabeth
“As the plane began its descent… I checked the BBC website. Grandma was gone.” Harry claims to have learned of Queen Elizabeth’s death from the press after his arrival in Scotland. But apparently, on the orders of Buckingham Palace King Charles III, He would not have released an official note before all members of the royal family were informed of the tragic news. Including the Duke of Sussex.
