Prince Harry is facing the risk of becoming an international laughing stock after divulging excessive personal information in his book “Spare.”
The Duke of Sussex’s revelations were swiftly picked up by talk show host Jimmy Fallon, who included a humorous reference to Harry in his opening monologue.
This came just hours after Harry’s interview with Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes, one of four television interviews conducted to promote his book last week.
Fallon, highlighting the abundance of opportunities to hear Harry and Meghan’s story, jokingly mentioned how people might have missed their two-hour sit-down interview with Oprah or the six-part Netflix documentary.
During Fallon’s show, the audience enthusiastically responded to a joke about how to send Harry back to England.
However, Prince Harry’s decision to include awkward anecdotes about his life as a royal in “Spare” has led to him losing support from the core Sussex brand followers.
Expert Jack Royston suggested that the Duke’s controversial claims made in his biography had turned him into a figure of ridicule.
Royston noted that the book arrived at a time when pro-Sussex members of the public were already beginning to question the veracity of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s statements.
He observed a shift in public opinion, where some Americans were viewing the couple differently and with less sympathy, although they still offered some support.
Royston added that this change was evident even after the Oprah interview, as major publications like Variety started questioning whether Harry and Meghan needed to distance themselves from their royal past and create a new brand.
The situation worsened when Prince Harry made several major revelations during the book’s publicity, including denying accusations of racism against the royal family.
Royston believes that these revelations may have caused some of the softer support that Harry and Meghan had in America to waver.
The disclosure about using the same cream Princess Diana used for her hands to heal his frostbitten p-nis seemed to be the tipping point for some.
The combination of these factors has led to Hollywood’s elite allegedly distancing themselves from the Sussexes, following their exclusion from a Los Angeles party.
Royal expert Kinsey Schofield informed Fox News Digital that the couple’s excessive disclosures may have eroded trust among their peers.
She expressed doubt that Beyoncé, known for her privacy, would have given permission for Meghan to read a text message verbatim to millions of Netflix subscribers.
Similarly, other A-list celebrities like Courteney Cox would not appreciate being called out for their personal preferences, such as magic mushroom chocolates.
Even Gayle King, who had supported the couple, faced backlash after Prince Harry contradicted her statement about having evidence of royal racism.
Kinsey Schofield further emphasized that while celebrities like Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey may publicly side with the Sussexes in their feud, most individuals in Hollywood would prefer to avoid the drama.
The revelations in “Spare” undoubtedly contained some alleged truth bombs, with Prince Harry airing his own dirty laundry, including drug experimentation, explicit stories involving his wife, and conflicts with his brother, Prince William.
In conclusion, Prince Harry’s decision to reveal intimate details in his book “Spare” has put his reputation at stake, leading to ridicule and the loss of support from core followers.
