Backlash Grows Against Prince Harry in the U.S. Over Memoir Announcement

A wave of criticism has surged against in his new home in the United States following a scathing segment on Fox News that ridiculed the Duke of Sussex's recent memoir revelation.

The segment, known as Friday Follies, features prominent host Laura Ingram and guest pundit Raymond Orio who sift through the most absurd stories of the week.

Harry found himself in the crosshairs during this episode, with Orio suggesting that Harry's upcoming memoir is poised to shake the monarchy to its core.

Describing the memoir as an allegedly unfiltered portrayal of the Duke of Sussex's reality, Orio drew parallels with everyday objects like spare keys and tires to emphasize Harry's perceived secondary role within the royal family.

Critiquing the memoir's cover, Orio likened Harry's appearance to that of a video game character and drew comparisons to 's recent magazine cover, noting the shared sun-kissed aesthetic.

He further revealed that both publications were penned by the same ghostwriter, J.R. Moehringer, hinting at a pattern within the realm of celebrity rather than royalty.

Ingram chimed in, suggesting the title “Whipped” might have been more fitting given Harry's perceived subservience to his wife, although she acknowledged the evolving dynamics of gender roles.

The title of Harry's book, “Spare,” has been met with sharp criticism for its apparent jab at the royal family, positioning him as the second fiddle to his older brother, William.

Critics argue that this choice reflects Harry's lingering resentment towards his lesser status within the monarchy.

Reports speculate that Harry may return to Britain in the coming year to clarify his motivations for writing the memoir, potentially casting a shadow over the royal family's first Christmas without the Queen.

Royal author Angela Levin condemned for dwelling on past grievances with the monarchy instead of focusing on his present family.

She accused the Sussexes of harboring intentions to dismantle the royal institution, criticizing Harry for choosing “Spare” as the title of his memoir.

Levin questioned Harry's reluctance to move on from his royal upbringing despite his newfound independence and family life, labeling the title as derogatory and regressive.

She lamented the implications of the title “leftover” in other countries, insinuating Harry's portrayal as a discarded remnant.

Levin further lambasted Harry for seemingly targeting his parents during a period of mourning for , deeming his actions as callous and unkind.

The author recalled Harry's spirited nature in his youth, highlighting his mischievous tendencies and vibrant energy.

She concluded that Harry's decision to dwell on past grievances rather than embrace his current blessings reflects a concerning fixation on the past, perpetuating a narrative of victimhood and resentment within the royal family.
