Prince Harry accused of tainting the memory of Princess Diana with his memoir

Prince Harry's book, Spare, has been on sale for a few days. A memoir in which he tells the story of his life as the younger brother of the heir to the throne. Whether it's drugs, alcohol or a frozen penis, the Duke of Sussex has not hesitated to expose himself in the many pages of his work. Both figuratively and literally, because it is a rather intimate story. Prince Harry is accused of tainting the memory of his mother, Princess Diana.

The strange story of the frozen penis

In his book, Prince Harry makes numerous confessions, including the time in 2011 when he found himself with frostbite on his cheeks, ears, and penis while on an expedition to the North Pole. At the time, his brother William was planning to marry Kate Middleton, and in order to make it to the ceremony, Prince Harry was afraid he would have to undergo a partial penectomy (removal of part of the penis).

In the end, more fear than harm for the Duke who manages to escape unscathed. However, if Harry wanted to confide this story, it was without counting on the American media which quickly seized on the affair... To make fun of it.

The sketch that doesn't slide

Several American programmes have made fun of this anecdote, featuring Harry and his mother Diana. This is the case of host Jimmy Kimmel, who did a sketch in which he reads a parody of a book called 'The Prince and the Penis', a tale in which Diana descends from the clouds and sprays moisturising cream on Prince Harry's penis. 'My poor little prince, put this cream on your willy. It will lessen the ache and make it less chilly' she whispers to him, much to the audience's amusement.

The scene did not go down well with the British court, where Prince Harry was reportedly warned that he was 'endangering his mother's memory,' according to royal expert Kinsey Schofield, who spoke to Express:

Princess Diana had become such a saintly figure to the world. One year ago there is no way you could joke about her being deceased. You would be cancelled.

Unfortunately, Harry's lack of judgement is jeopardizing his mother's legacy.
