Prince Harry’s explosive new memoir has left many readers cringing at its intimate details, with scenes ranging from the moment he lost his virginity to his frozen penis.
The 38-year-old Duke of Sussex released his Spare biography worldwide yesterday, following its release in Spain last week, and the royal certainly provided ghostwriter JR Moehringer with some rather flowery quotes.
For example, he recalls the first time he saw Meghan, while she was wearing a dog filter on Snapchat, saying he was impressed by her “luminous, angelic face.”
Other startling passages include a ‘very cheeky’ moment in Waitrose where ‘besides the fruit and veg, I felt it pass me by’.
Prince Harry’s explosive new memoir has left many readers embarrassed by its intimate details and shocking content, with scenes ranging from the moment he lost his virginity to his frozen penis.
1. ‘An older woman who liked male horses treated me like a young stallion.’
Prince Harry has recounted losing his virginity to an unidentified older woman at the age of 17 in his explosive autobiography.
The duke explained how his anonymous first lover treated him like a “young stud” and detailed how the steamy exchange took place in a field behind a “very busy pub”.
In 2001, the royal was still a student at Eton College in Windsor when one of the royal family’s bodyguards, Marko, visited him.
At the start of the meeting, Prince Harry says he suspected Marko had heard about the one-night stand, which he described as a “humiliating” experience.
Over lunch at a cafe in the center of the city, the bodyguard, who had a “somber look” on his face, told the Prince that he had been sent to “find out the truth”.
The father-of-two wrote: “I suspected he was referring to my recent loss of virginity, a humiliating episode with an older woman who liked male horses and treated me like a young stallion.”
I quickly mounted her, after which she slapped my ass and sent me away. One of my many mistakes was letting it happen in a field, just behind a very busy pub. No doubt someone had seen us.

2. ‘What was the universe trying to tell me by depriving me of both my penis and my brother?’
Prince Harry confessed to suffering from a frozen penis, in one of his strangest revelations buried within his new memories.
In ‘Spare’, the duke confessed that he was affected by the early stages of the condition during William and Kate’s wedding in April 2011.
It followed his 200-mile Walking with the Wounded expedition in March 2011, in which he embarked on a journey to the North Pole alongside four former servicemen who were wounded in Afghanistan.
The frostbite affected his cheeks, ears and genitals, he said.
At Prince William’s wedding, Prince Harry details how he felt “totally powerless”. And also as a eunuch.
He continued: ‘What was the universe trying to tell me by depriving me of both my penis and my brother?’
He continues: ‘My penis ranged from extremely sensitive to almost traumatized. The last place I wanted to be frostnipitstan.
“I had been trying a few home remedies, including one recommended by a friend. He urged me to apply the Elizabeth Arden cream.
‘”My mom used to wear that on her lips. Do you want me to put it on my todger…”‘
Harry goes on to describe his ‘todger’ as ‘softened’ by cream.’
Harry also secretly visited a doctor on Harley Street, after fearing he would have to undergo a partial penectomy, the removal of part of the penis.
But the doctor told the Prince that “the most feasible cure was time,” he wrote.
Prince Harry talks about his penis in the memoir on several occasions, even detailing how he tried to treat frostbite with Elizabeth Arden’s night cream.
3. ‘I took all that from his face. His bright and angelic face.
In a section of the book titled “She Is the Captain of My Soul,” Prince Harry writes about the first moment he sees Meghan, on a friend’s Instagram page.
He details: “I was sitting around Nott Cott, scrolling through Instagram… They were playing around with a new app that put silly filters on your photos. Violet and the woman had dog ears, dog noses, long red dog tongues lolling out.
‘This woman with Violet… My God. I watched the video several times and then forced myself to put the phone down.
In a section of the book titled ‘She Is the Captain of My Soul’, Prince Harry writes about the first moment he sees Meghan, on a friend’s Instagram page.
‘Then I picked it up, watched the video again.
“For thirty-two years I had watched a conveyor belt of faces go by and only a handful made me look twice. This woman stopped the conveyor belt. This woman tore the conveyor belt to pieces.
I had never seen anyone so beautiful.
‘There was an energy about her, a wild and playful joy. There was something about the way she smiled, the way she looked at the camera. Insurance. Free. She believed that life was a great adventure, she could see it. What a privilege it would be, I thought, to accompany her on that journey.
I got all of that out of his face. Her bright and angelic face.
4. ‘That’s love, I thought, though I managed to keep the words inside.’
After inviting Princess Eugenie, her then-boyfriend Jack and his friend Charlie to dinner, Harry writes that Meghan woke him up and vomited violently in the bathroom.
He writes: ‘I rubbed her back and finally put her to bed. Weak, on the verge of tears, she said that she had imagined a very different ending to date four.
‘Stop, I said. Taking care of each other? That is the point. That’s love, I thought, though I managed to keep the words inside.
6. She really is magical, I thought. Even the seals know it.
During a trip to Scotland, Prince Harry details how he and Meghan walked to the beach, where they encountered several seals.
He writes: ‘Just as Daddy told me, I ran to the water’s edge and sang to them. He serenaded them. Arooo. Unanswered.
‘Meg joined me and sang to them, and now, of course, they sang too. She really is magical, I thought. Even the seals know it.
7. I read them as a summons, memory, proclamation. I read them as a decree.
Towards the end of the biography, Harry writes how he helped a doctor deliver his daughter Lili.
He writes that the family quickly returned home and settled into life as a family of four.
He details an intimate moment with Meghan, saying they were ‘skin to skin’ when she told him: ‘I have never been more in love with you than at that moment.
He continues: ‘She jotted down some thoughts in a kind of journal. that she shared. I read them like a love poem. I read them as a testament, a renewal of our vows. I read them as a quote, a memory, a proclamation. I read them as a decree.
He goes on to say that Meghan calls him “her love” and “he’s not a spare.”
8. The weather, as the doctor predicted, I would fix my todger. When would he do his magic in my heart?
Prince Harry describes his regrets over his breakup with Chelsy Davy and admits it was hard seeing her at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding.

“I also felt a certain way about the hungry men following her around and nagging her to dance,” she said, admitting that she had felt jealous and told Chesly as much.
Time, as the doctor predicted, would fix my todger. When would he do his magic in my heart? mused the Prince.
His friends tried to help him by placing him with other women and one of them was the model Florence Brudenell-Bruce.
They went out for drinks with a group of friends and then went back to Clarence House for a drink.
After the party was over, he offered to drive ‘Flea’, as she was nicknamed, to her home in Notting Hill.
Seeming to allude to something that happened between the couple that night, he wrote: ‘She invited me in for a cup of tea. Sure, I said. I asked my bodyguard to walk around the block a few hundred times.
9. He could take out a cactus from three miles away with a Hellfire Missile but I couldn’t find her lips
Prince Harry describes one of his first dates with his ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas, with whom his cousin Princess Eugenie set him up on a date, after which he took her home.
‘She didn’t invite me in. She didn’t expect her to, she didn’t want her to. Take it easy, I thought,’ she recalled.
However, he decided that the time was right to attempt a kiss.
‘I leaned in to kiss him, but my aim was off. I could take out a cactus three miles away with a Hellfire missile but I couldn’t find the lips of it.
‘He turned around, I tried again on the return trip, and we managed something of a scrape. Painfully uncomfortable.
She spoke to Eugenie the next day, who had already heard Cressida’s report that the encounter was “awkward” but was thankfully willing to try again.
