>
Royal fans have spotted another inconsistency in Prince Harry’s memoirs regarding the outfit Meghan wore on their first date.
In his explosive biography Spare, which went on sale on Tuesday, the Duke of Sussex, 38, recounted the moment he saw his wife for the first time when they met at 76 Dean Street in London, which is one of the Soho House members private clubs.
Describing her outfit, Prince Harry writes: “She was wearing a black sweater, jean heels. I didn’t know anything about clothes, but I knew she was stylish.
However, royal fans on TikTok pointed out that Prince Harry’s account conflicts with a comment Meghan made in a September 2018 interview.
Meghan Markle recalled during a September 2018 interview (pictured) that she had worn a blue dress on her first date with Prince Harry.
While viewing her wedding dress with a Royal Collections curator, the mother-of-two explained how she wore a blue dress on her first date with Prince Harry.
Before her nuptials, the Duchess says she had asked for a piece of the gown fabric to be sewn into her wedding dress as her “something blue.”
Four months after the couple’s wedding, the Duchess of Sussex reunited in her Givenchy wedding dress for the ITV documentary Queen of the World.
The Duchess of Sussex then sewed a piece of the fabric from their first date into her wedding dress as her “something blue.”
Taking a closer look at her dress, Meghan said: ‘Somewhere in here, there’s a piece of, did you see it?
The piece of blue cloth that’s sewn on the inside? It’s my something blue. It’s fabric from the dress I wore on our first date.
In response, the curator exclaimed: ‘Oh, that’s the most romantic thing!’
However, Meghan may not have considered the first time she and Harry met as a ‘date’. Prince Harry goes on to describe how she wore a “pretty blue dress with white stripes” during their second meeting.
Prince Harry’s explosive memoir is full of startling claims, and some have questioned the historical accuracy of the facts presented. JR Moehringer (right), Harry’s ghostwriter, defended the book on Wednesday, saying the memoir deals with the subject’s own view of events.
In a viral video that accumulates more than 2.1 million views, Paula, TikTok user compared the couple’s comments about their first date and said, ‘Please do something right!’
In response, one viewer wrote: “Memories may vary…”
Another quipped: ‘Maybe it was midnight blue?’
Prince Harry himself admits in the book that his memory became “patchy” after the death of his mother, Princess Diana.
But then he went on to say that I might be “misremembering my own struggles with memory back then.”
He said: “As a defense mechanism, most likely my memory didn’t register things the way it used to.”
At one point, recalling a trip to the late Queen’s Scottish estate, Balmoral, in the summer of 1997, he explained how he can remember, in “crisp detail”, “landscape, geography, architecture” but struggles with “dates and dialogues”. ‘.
However, the prince revealed how months of therapy improved his ability to recall memories from the past, including moments with his late mother.
Earlier this week, Prince Harry’s ghostwriter JR Moehringer came to the duke’s defense after readers highlighted other inaccuracies in his memoir.
Harry has been accused of a litany of factual errors, including claims that he was a descendant of King Henry VI, that he was given an Xbox before they were made and that Meghan’s father bought a Mexico-London plane ticket on Air New Zealand. , which does not fly that route.
Moehringer, who also authored autobiographies for Andre Agassi and Nike co-founder Phil Knight, defended the book for which he was allegedly paid $1 million.
Sharing an excerpt from Harry’s book, he emphasized that the prince himself admits at times that he is unsure of the accuracy of all the details he shares, often saying this stems from trauma in his childhood. But in the same book he also insists: ‘It’s important that history be right.’
Moehringer tweeted Harry’s words: “Whatever the cause, my memory is my memory… there is as much truth in what I remember and how I remember it as there are so-called objective facts.”
He also tweeted a quote from Mary Karr, author of The Art of Memoir, which read: “The line between memory and fact is blurred, between interpretation and fact. There are inadvertent errors of this type out of the ordinary.
Moehringer was a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner for Feature Writing before turning to ghostwriting. Spare is the best-selling non-fiction book in UK history, according to Penguin.
