Prince Harry’s book, Spare, was released on January 10 and quickly became one of the best-selling nonfiction books ever, but the fallout from the Duke’s book seems to linger.
It comes as the prince used his explosive memories to criticize both the press and the British public for reading and believing newspapers.
In one of Spare’s incendiary chapters, the Duke points his guns at the British ‘c**p’ press and also fires at what he claims is the naïveté of Brits who turn to traditional media for their news.
The development also comes just days after he hinted that he and his wife, Meghan Markle, would never return to Britain permanently.
During the explosive tirade in ‘Spare’, Harry blames the British public for reading and believing the newspapers.
He calls them ‘more gullible’ and writes: ‘Everyone is guilty of buying the newspapers. But hopefully, no one really believes them.
‘But of course they did. People did believe, and that was the whole problem.
The British, among the most literal people on the planet, were also the most gullible.
“Even if they didn’t believe every word, there was always that residue of wonder.”
In his last television interview to cover up his explosive memoir, the prince claimed the royal family had launched a war against him, with the collusion of the British press, to undermine the credibility of his book.
It comes days after the duke told Good Morning America that he “doesn’t think it’s possible” for his family to return to their home country permanently.
The Duke continued his virulent attacks on the press, stating that the media would make life for his family “second to none” if they ever returned to the UK.
It comes days after Prince Harry revealed that he and Meghan will likely never return to the UK full-time, or rejoin the Monarchy as royals.
Harry and Meghan moved to California from the UK in early 2020 and, since early 2021, have been raising their two children, Archie and Lilibet, in a $14.65 million mansion in Montecito, thousands of miles away. of the duke’s family.

The couple first made the shock announcement that they would be stepping down from their royal duties on January 8, 2020.
At the time, they wrote in a joint statement that they had reached the decision after “many months of reflection and internal discussions.”
They said they wanted to “work towards becoming financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty the Queen”.
“We now plan to balance our time between the UK and North America, continuing to honor our duty to the Queen, the Commonwealth and our patronages,” the statement continued.
Harry’s controversial book has generated headlines amid claims he was physically attacked by the Prince of Wales, his revelation that he killed 25 Taliban members during the Afghanistan war, admissions to having used drugs including cocaine, cannabis and magic mushrooms, and having lost her virginity in a field behind. a pub to a ‘horse enthusiast’ cougar when he was 17.
But new questions have also been raised about the accuracy of Prince Harry’s explosive memoirs after his bold claims about royal ancestry and the gift of an Xbox games console were debunked years before its official release.
Publishers said yesterday that the prince’s tell-all memoir has become the best-selling nonfiction book in history.
Harry’s autobiography Spare has been propelled into the record books with 400,000 copies in hardcover, e-book and audio formats, Transworld Penguin Random House said.
It comes as a damning new YouGov poll showed that Duke’s popularity had plummeted with the British public before the release of ‘Spare’.
Prince Harry’s popularity among young people in Britain sank to a record low in the days before his memoirs were published, a new YouGov survey suggests.
Nearly two-thirds of Britons have a negative opinion of the Duke of Sussex, up from 58 percent in May, and just a quarter view him positively, the YouGov survey shows.
Members of ‘Generation Z’ also seem to be changing their minds, as those between the ages of 18 and 24 have neither a negative nor a positive view of the King’s youngest son, according to a survey conducted on January 5-6. .
Harry has traditionally relied on the younger generation as a bastion of support that helped boost his popular image, and just a month ago he had a 20 percent net approval rating among the group.
But by the end of last week, with “Spare” just a few days to go, this support had dwindled to zero, suggesting that the group’s opinion of Duke had taken a nosedive.
The King’s youngest son’s net favorability score among 2019 Labor voters is minus seven, while among 18-24 year olds the ratio of positive to negative views on him was equal (41 per cent).
Meghan has a score of -11 among 2019 Labor voters and -30 among Remain voters, with -81 and -72 among 2016 Conservative voters and Leave voters, respectively.
In television interviews, the duke said he is “not texting” his brother, described the queen consort as “the villain” and criticized “family members” for a “really horrible reaction” when the queen he died.
He spoke to Bradby, denying calling the royals racist and accusing his family of “getting in bed with the devil.”
