New skirmish between Prince Harry and the British press. The recent revelations of the Duke of Sussex, drawn from interviews that will be published and his memoirs scheduled for January 10, ignite English newspapers this Friday, revealing vitriolic front pages.
“A reconciliation? But you sold your soul, Harry,” the cover of the cover reads roughly. daily express, dressed in a painting of Harry and his brother William. Meghan Markle’s husband expressed his desire to “reconnect” with his family on Monday, in an excerpt from an interview that will air on CNN on Sunday. But this call for appeasement was followed, throughout the week, by explosive statements from the man who left the monarchy to settle in California.
The good leaves of Substitute (published by Fayard in France), his memoirs scheduled for January 10, have been published by various media in recent days. We learn in particular that a violent argument broke out between William and Harry over Meghan, during which the Prince of Wales would have “thrown” his younger brother to the ground.
the daily mirror offers a sentence similar to that of daily express: “It’s all over,” says the tabloid with a front page illustrated with a photo of Harry and William as children, side by side in their school uniforms.
defloration and cocaine
In new excerpts from his book published Thursday, Harry shoots the entire royal family at point blank range. About the photos of him dressed as a Nazi officer, which had caused a scandal when he was 20 years old, he says that William and Kate had encouraged him to choose this costume. He also recounts how he found out about the death of his mother, Lady Diana, how he opposed his father remarrying Camilla, whom he perceived as an ‘ugly stepmother’, claims to have killed 25 Taliban while working as a pilot of helicopter in Afghanistan, details his own deflowering and confesses to trying cocaine.
It is on this point that the tabloid Sun makes your one. “Harry: I had coke and weed,” read the headline on the front page of this Friday’s issue, embellished with a paparazzi photo of a child Harry. And to evoke the other revelations of the week: “He gets drunk and loses his virginity in the back room of a pub”, “His fight with Wills and the confrontation of Meg and Kate”, “The furious army of his revelations about the 25 Taliban dead”. And ensure that in the face of all his statements, “the palace is plunged into a crisis.”
“The baby man”
more sober, the daily telegraph headlines about Harry’s reservations about his mother-in-law “Please don’t marry Camilla,” headlines the paper. Without forgetting, at the bottom of the page, to mention the prince’s self-revelations. We learn that Meghan believes that Kate has “baby brains,” or that Harry used a means to get in touch with his mother. For the newspaper, Harry’s memories “outweigh the palace’s worst fears.”
Visibly tired of Harry’s constant revelations, the daily mail begs him: “Oh, forgive us!”, asks the newspaper, signing a play on words with the title of his book (Spare, in VO). And call him a “man-baby” who “definitely threw his toys out of the royal stroller.”
Probably the British press has not finished dedicating its covers to the expatriate prince. After being featured in a trickle all week, his two event interviews (one for CNN in the US, the other for ITV in the UK) will air on Sunday. And the still unpublished pages of Substitute no doubt reserves new surprises…
