Prince Harry's army instructor 'in shock' over story he says is 'dramatised' in Spare

One of the more shocking claims in Prince Harry's memoir, Spare, has been rubbished by a first-hand witness who claims it has been "dramatised for effect".

In the book, Harry details a "suicide" training flight, claiming that an army instructor stalled their Slingsby T67 Firefly propeller plane on purpose without alerting anyone. However, Major Michael Booley, who is an ex-Sergeant and was there at the time of the supposed incident, has said this did not happen.

He also added that every detail of these flights is laid out beforehand. He told the Sunday Mirror: "I am staggered by this. In shock even," before providing a clearer explanation of what happened.
