Prince Harry Spare: Air New Zealand exposes two holes in claims about Meghan Markle’s father Thomas

New questions have been raised about the accuracy of Prince Harry’s explosive memories of a flight with Air New Zealand that the airline says he never flew.

In his tell-all autobiography, Spare, Harry wrote that Meghan bought a first-class ticket from Mexico to Britain for Thomas Markle so he could escape concerns about bullying in his adopted homeland.

That ticket was with Air New Zealand, the Duke of Sussex claimed.

“We told him, get out of Mexico right now: a new level of bullying is about to befall you, so come to Britain. Now,’ revealed an excerpt from Spare.

‘Air New Zealand, first class, booked and paid for by Meg.’

But Air New Zealand has said it has never operated flights between Mexico and the UK.

“We have never had flights between Mexico and the UK. And we only have Business Premier,’ an Air NZ spokesperson told the New Zealand Herald.

Before and after Harry and Meghan’s wedding in May 2018, Markle was the subject of media scrutiny.

There was speculation as to whether he would attend the wedding at Windsor Castle.

Prince Harry’s revealing autobiography, Spare, officially launched in the UK at midnight on Tuesday and on Wednesday morning in Australia and New Zealand.

The official reason he did not attend is that he was recovering from heart surgery.

Other questions about the accuracy of the explosive memories have been raised after eagle-eyed readers on social media found other inaccuracies.

In Spare, the duke writes of his ‘great-great-great-great-great-grandfather’, King Henry VI, who founded Eton College and died in 1471, even though Henry VI’s direct lineage ended after his son, Edward of Westminster. , he died when he was a childless teenager at the Battle of Tewkesbury.

Historians and experts criticized the inaccuracy and lack of fact checking for a non-fiction project that cost £16 million ($20 million)

Prince Harry’s real great-great-grandfather was King George III, who reigned from 1760 to 1811, more than three centuries after Henry VI’s death.

Historians have been quick to take to social media to question the accuracy of Harry’s link to Henry VI, the last of the Lancastrian dynasty.

The royal correspondent Patricia Treble pointed out the genealogical error and the fact that Henry VI had no descendants after his son’s death in 1471.

Others blamed Henry VI’s mistake on the ghostwriter of the memoir, the award-winning American journalist and author JR Moehringer.

The Duke also bizarrely claimed that his aunt, Lady Sarah McCorquodale, gave him an Xbox for his 13th birthday in 1997, despite the best-selling device first launching in the United States four years later, in 2001.

Harry’s link to Henry VI was debunked by experts who took to social media.

He writes: ‘I tore the wrapping paper, the ribbon. I looked inside… It was an Xbox. I was pleased. I loved video games.

‘That’s the story, anyway. It has appeared in many accounts of my life, as gospel, and I have no idea if it is true. Dad said mom hurt her head, but maybe I was the one with the brain damage?

The Duke’s account of how he learned of the Queen Mother’s death has also been disputed, with many arguing that he had been in Klosters, Switzerland, the weekend his grandmother died, and not Eton College in Windsor, England.

The Duke of Sussex wrote in painstaking detail about a call he received while studying at Eton College telling him that his great-grandmother had died on March 30, 2002.

He writes: ‘At Eton, while studying, I took the call. I wish I could remember whose voice it was on the other end; of a courtier, I think. I remember it was just before Easter, the weather was bright and warm, the light was coming in obliquely through my window, full of vivid colors.

Renewed photographs appear to place the prince in Klosters, Switzerland, on the weekend the Queen Mother died.

However, resurfaced photos show Harry posing alongside his brother William and father Charles at a press call on March 29, having recently overcome a bout of glandular fever in time to hit the slopes.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told MailOnline: “It appears from the evidence that he was certainly at Klosters when the Queen Mother died.”

“This portrayal of being at Eton, ‘the bright warm weather, the slanting light… vivid colours’ is therefore inaccurate.”

Spare officially launched in Australia on Wednesday, although the launch was poorly attended.

It also includes claims that the Prince of Wales physically attacked his brother and taunted him for his panic attacks, and that the King put his own interests above Harry’s and was jealous of the Duchess of Sussex and Princess of Wales.

Today reporter Gabrielle Boyle was filming a cross live from Dymocks bookstore in Sydney’s CBD on Wednesday morning when she joked that she would need a “strong drink” to read the Duke of Sussex’s book.

The segment began with Today host Lara Vella asking Boyle: ‘Gabby, the bookstores here expect long lines. Is there anyone out there yet?

Boyle laughed awkwardly as he looked down the deserted street and replied, ‘Well, not yet, Lara. it’s a few hours [to go] yet.’

He later said that Dymocks was offering customers a free hot drink with every purchase, before pointedly adding, “I think if I were to read the whole book, I’d need a free strong drink.”

The memoir currently tops the best-seller list in Australia with the Amazon website.

Spare was released at midnight on Tuesday in the UK, with publishers claiming it was already the best-selling non-fiction book ever.
