Prince Harry appears to be slightly confused over a gift he claims was bought for him by Princess Diana before her tragic death.
Writing in his highly-anticipated autobiography Spare, the Duke of Sussex says he was handed a present by his aunt, Diana's sister Lady Sarah McCorquodale.
Harry's 13th birthday was on September 15, 1997, just two weeks after his mum lost her life following a car crash in Paris.
Recounting the day, the prince says he was allowed to choose two flavours of sorbet, so picked blackcurrant and mango because they were "Mummy's favourites".
Harry explains that he was asked to make a wish, and was thinking of Diana when "out of nowhere" his aunt Sarah appeared holding a box.
He tore at the wrapping paper, peered inside and saw he had received an Xbox.
According to Harry, aunt Sarah revealed that Diana had bought the games console for him shortly before her death, while she was in Paris.
Harry says he was thrilled with the gift because he loved video games.
In Spare, he writes: "That's the story, anyway. It's appeared in many accounts of my life, as gospel, and I have no idea if it's true. Pa said Mummy hurt her head, but perhaps I was the one with brain damage? As a defence mechanism, most likely, my memory was no longer recording things quite as it once did."
It does appear that Harry might be getting confused, as the Xbox wasn't actually available to buy until four years later.
Released in 2001, Xbox was Microsoft's first entry into the world of console electronic gaming, which placed it in direct competition with Sony's PlayStation 2 and Nintendo's GameCube.
It hadn't even been announced until March 2000, so it seems Harry may have got mixed up with another games console.
Harry was a big lover of video games as a child, but in his adult years has raised concerns over the dangers of online gaming.
In April 2019, the Duke of Sussex launched a scathing attack on social media and gaming, in particular Fortnite.
He called for a ban on the action game, which is played by millions around the world, because it was "created to addict".
Speaking about Fortnite, he said: "That game shouldn't be allowed. Where is the benefit of having it in your household?
"It's created to addict, an addiction to keep you in front of a computer for as long as possible. It's so irresponsible.
"It's like waiting for the damage to be done and kids turning up on your doorsteps and families being broken down."
He added that social media was "more addictive than alcohol and drugs" amid a growing debate about whether gaming can be harmful.
Buckingham and Kensington Palaces have refused to content on the contents of the book, which hit the shelves today.
Spare has been released at all book stores and can be bought online here.
