Prince Harry Mocked on Social Media Over His Book Spare
With the release of his new memoir, Prince Harry may be losing his accumulated goodwill, but Spare demonstrates that this is the least of his concerns.
The new memoir by Prince Harry does not want to be an articulate, nuanced point about his fame in the age of a monarchy that may have outlived its usefulness. Instead, Prince Harry wants to repeatedly tell his story — in all its perplexing, rage-filled, and occasionally entirely TMI glory.
Unlike the Sussex’s exclusive Oprah special or Netflix’s recent six-episode limited documentary series, Spare cannot be accused of pulling any punches, as the memoir contains so many shocking revelations that it has become a viral meme on social media.
In Spare, Prince Harry is candid about a Nazi uniform he was encouraged to wear by his brother William, details about doing shrooms at Courtney Cox’s house and believing the trashcan was speaking to him and goes into detail about using his mother’s favorite moisturizer, on his frostbitten penis during William and Kate’s wedding.
Even the writing style goes out of its way to reinvent itself, ranging from an easygoing imitation of Harry’s natural, jock-like inflection to almost prosaic rapture over trivial as specific English hills to as corny as the first time he laid eyes on his eventual wife.
“I’d traveled the world from top to bottom. I’d hopped around the world. I’d met hundreds of thousands of people, a ludicrously large cross-section of the world’s seven billion inhabitants.
I’d been watching a conveyor belt of faces pass by for thirty-two years, and only a few had ever made me look twice.
Prince Harry and Meghan
This woman stopped the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt was smashed to bits by this woman. I’d never seen anyone so lovely.” At this point, Prince Harry is probably thinking about Meghan wearing a Snapchat dog filter with its tongue out.
However, the book’s contradictory nature does not result from sharing too much information, choosing the wrong publisher, or even hiring the wrong ghostwriter.
Rather, the tell-all memoir reveals its contradiction on purpose, all to highlight the 38 years its narrator spent in that mindset.
Through Spare’s 400 pages (which you can feel each one pass), Prince Harry presents himself as a swirl of duties and intense emotions that never got to be a fully-articulated person in the first place. The roles thrust upon him divide the book.
In describing his time in the British Army, Prince Harry appears so unattached to his personhood that he “thanks” the Army for destroying it during training.
And the conflict is still present in his memories. He jokes about not caring about literature, but quotes from Faulkner and “Invictus” appear throughout the book.
Prince Harry and Meghan Mocked
He is detailed and descriptive about the pain his father (Pa) and brother (Willy) cause him, but he saves the most venom for the British press, which haunts his story at every turn. Prince Harry despises being called names but seems to enjoy mocking specific journalists and palace staff members with rude British traits or animal names that play on their quirks.
Even when Harry is desperate to save his wife from the same fate as his mother, he cannot hide his genuine admiration and love for the monarchy that destroyed him.
Yes, the book intends to present a central narrative about transitioning from a life of death to freedom. But even Prince Harry still needs to arrive. Instead, it appears that the Prince has moved on to another role. Ex-Royal Father H. This one has more advantages.
Spare can feel like a punishment at times. In between over-the-top moments, Prince Harry delivers an internal monologue about his mother’s death. (Until 18, he believes his mother is not dead but is involved in an elaborate plot to avoid the press.)
Even in the book’s introduction, Prince Harry shares that, while the secrets are addressed to the world, they are a true outpouring for William and now-king Charles — as soon as they’re ready to get over themselves and listen.
“They weren’t in the right frame of mind to listen,” he writes in the introduction to the book. “Not right now, anyway. No, not today. So, what about Pa? Willy? Here you have it.”
Spare’s release has sparked a major debate (and several extremely funny memes) about whether or not Prince Harry has lost his accumulated goodwill.
The world praised his marriage and defended him even more after he and Meghan revealed to Oprah how difficult (and racist) life was in the royal family.
This is the time to take your Netflix deal, make a couple of elephant documentaries, and retire in Montecito as the multi-millionaire you are — not to release a Freudian nightmare of a memoir.

Jason Kelce Smashes Football Fan’s Phone
Retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce destroyed a Penn State football fan’s phone after the alleged heckler called his brother, Travis Kelce, a fag.
In now-viral footage published on X (previously Twitter) on Saturday, Nov. 2, the retired Philadelphia Eagles great was seen accompanied by football fans outside Beaver Stadium in State College, Pa., for the Penn State-Ohio State game.
As the individual capturing the tape lifted a fist to Jason, 36, and called his name for a fist bump, another man nearby hurled the homophobic slur at the retired Philadelphia Eagles star.
Hey, Kelce. How does it feel that your brother is a queer dating Taylor Swift?” the man questioned, referring to Travis, 34, who has been seeing Swift since 2023. Jason turned around seconds later, snatched the man’s phone, and crushed it to the ground.
“Looked like a Penn State student was getting in Kelce’s face for no reason,” the original X user who submitted the video remarked. “Wild scene in State College.”
“Kelce how does it feel that your brother is a f****t for dating Taylor Swift?”
Jason Kelce proceeded to slam this kids phone on the ground.

Additional footage on X shows Jason smashing the phone on asphalt before picking it up and walking away. The phone’s owner, wearing a Penn State hoodie at the time of the incident, was shown in many videos strolling closely behind Jason and recording him before the conflict occurred.
Another footage published on X, which appears to have been filmed after Jason shattered the man’s phone, showed the hooded Penn State supporter trudging through a mob to pick up his phone off the ground.
“Give me my phone, bro,” he seemed to say to Jason.
The NFL alum seized the gadget first, then stood in front of the man and asked, “Who’s the fag now?” Others appeared to interfere.
The incident occurred while Jason was at Beaver Stadium for an appearance on ESPN’s College GameDay. The Ohio State Buckeyes won Saturday’s game 20-13 over the Penn State Nittany Lions.

Hollywood Actress Teri Garr Passes Away at 79
Hollywood actress Teri Garr, known for her roles in classics like “Young Frankenstein” and “Tootsie,” has passed away at 79. She died Tuesday of multiple sclerosis “surrounded by family and friends,” said publicist Heidi Schaeffer.
Admirers took to social media in her honor, with writer-director Paul Feig calling her “truly one of my comedy heroes. I couldn’t have loved her more” and screenwriter Cinco Paul saying: “Never the star, but always shining. She made everything she was in better.”
Throughout her career, the performer, often known as Terri, Terry, or Terry Ann, seemed destined for show business from a young age.
Her father was Eddie Garr, a well-known vaudeville comic, and her mother was Phyllis Lind, one of the original high-kicking Rockettes at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. Their daughter began dancing classes at six and was performing with the San Francisco and Los Angeles ballet companies by age fourteen.
She was 16 years old when she joined the road crew of “West Side Story” in Los Angeles, and she began starring in small roles in films as early as 1963.
In an interview from 1988, she described how she landed the role in “West Side Story.” After being rejected at her initial audition, she returned the following day dressed differently and was accepted.
Teri Garr, a comedian
Teri Garr then found steady work as a movie dancer, appearing in the chorus of nine Elvis Presley films, including “Viva Las Vegas,” “Roustabout,” and “Clambake.”
She has also appeared on various television shows, including “Star Trek,” “Dr. Kildare,” and “Batman,” and was a featured dancer on the rock ‘n’ roll music show “Shindig,” the rock concert performance “T.A.M.I.,” and a cast member of “The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour.”
Her breakthrough role was as Gene Hackman’s girlfriend in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1974 thriller The Conversation. This led to an interview with Mel Brooks, who offered her the Gene Wilder’s German lab assistant role in Young Frankenstein if she could speak with a German accent.
“Cher had this German woman, Renata, making wigs, so I got the accent from her,” Garr once said.
The film established her as a great comic performer, with New Yorker film writer Pauline Kael calling her “the funniest neurotic dizzy dame on screen.”
Her big smile and off-center appeal helped her land roles in “Oh, God!” with George Burns and John Denver, “Mr. Mom” (as Michael Keaton’s wife), and “Tootsie,” in which she played the girlfriend who loses Dustin Hoffman to Jessica Lange and discovers he has dressed up as a woman to revive his career.
A gift for spontaneous humor
Teri Garr, best known for comedy, has shown in films such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Black Stallion, and The Escape Artist that she can also tackle drama.
She had a gift for spontaneous humor, frequently playing David Letterman’s foil during early guest appearances on N.B.C.’s “Late Night With David Letterman”.
Her appearances grew so frequent, and the pair’s good-natured bickering so convincing that rumors of romantic involvement circulated for a while. Years later, Letterman acknowledged those early appearances with helping the program become a success.
During those years, Garr began to experience “a little beeping or ticking” in her right leg. It started in 1983 and expanded to her right arm, but she thought she could handle it. By 1999, her symptoms had gotten so bad that she saw a doctor and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
After disclosing her diagnosis, Garr became a spokesman for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, giving hilarious remarks at events in the United States and Canada.
