Ahead of his much-anticipated interview with American news program CBS, a little-known connection between Prince Harry and Anderson Cooper has been unearthed. The link, spanning back nearly a century, connects both men through their families despite being born on different sides of the Atlantic.
The interview comes ahead of the Duke of Sussex's memoir 'Spare' which is being released in the UK next week. Alongside the book, which is expected to be a tell all account of Harry's life in the royal family and subsequent departure, he has given interviews to Anderson Cooper and ITV's Tom Bradby.
However, it is not the first time the British royal family has crossed paths with Mr Cooper. It is thought that In the 1920s and 30s his great aunt, Thelma Furness, had an affair with the duke's great-great uncle, Edward VIII. And as a result, it was Lady Furness who ended up introducing the then-Prince of Wales to his future wife, Wallis Simpson.
