The Duke of Sussex has called into question the role he played at his brother’s wedding, saying he was not in fact the real best man for the Prince of Wales.
Harry reportedly said the ruse was carried out to save William’s two closest friends, James Meade and Thomas Van Straubenzee, from the attention the role would bring to their private lives.
Writing in his controversial memoir, Spare, which was accidentally released early in Spain, the duke said his apparent role as best man was a “bare-faced lie”, and that Mr Meade and Mr Van Straubenzee were the ones to give the traditional speech at the reception.
