Default Prince William has released a statement about the claims in Harry's book.

A source close to the Royal has revealed that William has taken time to consider his position, and has said the following;

"Unfortunately, Harold is just jealous of me 'cause he... he just can't do what I do. So instead of just admitting it, he walks around and says all kinds of really mean things about me. Because he is a meanie. A meanie. But it's only because he's just really jealous of me, cause I'm what he wants to be, so he just looks like an idiot when he says these mean things, 'cause it's too easy to see he's really just a big todger. A big todger."

The press has reached out to Harry for comment.

I am sure they can talk about this.


No need to have it out in the press

Amusing. But fair? No.

Prince Wills has hardly been petulant, he's been "the grown-up", as is.

We all know what big Willy would do if he was in soldier boys kitchen!

That’s right he’d ask for a glass of water

Harry wont comment to the press yet, only when he needs them to promote the book he writes about William's comments.

The sequel to Spare, Pear.

The stark contrast between Big Willy and Kate visiting a hospital to thank staff and Harold doing the rounds of the TV studios to promote himself is far more valuable than any statement

The desperate reaching. Context, SB, context.

During the visit, Kate asked: “Has producing music and taking part in those workshops helped? Has it helped with your personal lives?”
One young person replied that using music as a tool helped him express his emotions.

He said: “Producing music and letting out what you’re feeling is better than saying it in a clinical atmosphere.”
According to The Sun, Kate replied:Talking therapies don’t work for some people, they’re not for everybody. It’s so important to have a range of therapies.”

She added: “Everyone is talking a lot more about mental health.
“There have often been negative connotations around it. But if we get across that there are these more positive spaces and experiences out there, then we are changing how we talk about it.”

How dare she! Harry would NEVER!

Sometimes (talking) therapy doesn't work for everyone One would be hard-pressed to say it's doing wonders for Prince Harry.

But the statement looks less nasty and underhand when not viewed in a trimmed headline:

Absolutely. William and Kate's job is to serve, Harry and Meghan left the job to serve themselves.

Air New Zealand has mocked the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after Prince Harry claimed Meghan booked her father on a first class flight with the airline. Harry wrote that his wife arranged a trip from Mexico to Britain for Meghan's dad, Thomas Markle, as they were concerned about media harassment ahead of the Sussexes' wedding day in 2018. Mr Markle was accused of staging photos for the paparazzi, which he denied. Harry wrote: "We told him, leave Mexico right now: A whole new level of harassment is about to rain down on you, so come to Britain. Now. We'll arrange for an apartment where you can hole up safely until your flight. Air New Zealand, first class, booked and paid for by Meg.

But a spokesperson for the airline told the New Zealand Herald it has never run flights between Mexico and the UK. They also said they only have Business Premier class.

In a cheeky tweet liked more than 2,000 times, Air New Zealand said: "Introducing #SussexClass Apparently coming soon ".

I blame the editors as much as the Sussexes for that tbh. No-one can remember every little thing (when you're as rich as them, booking one flight would be the same as any other) so the fact-checkers should have made sure that such a flight exists
