Prince Harry commits blunder about his ancestors in ‘Spare’

• The Duke of Sussex’s autobiography Spare is rumoured to contain numerous errors.
• Fans point out that the claim that Henry VI never had children of his own is untrue.
• Air New Zealand shot down Harry’s claims that he offered to buy his father-in-law a first-class flight from Mexico.

As readers continue to identify errors in Prince Harry’s autobiography Spare, the book is rumored to contain numerous errors.

The Duke of Sussex claimed in his autobiography that King Henry VI was his “great-great-great-great-great-grandfather.”

Fans pointed out on social media that the claim that Henry VI never had children of his own and only had one son, who died at the age of 17, is untrue.

According to a tweet, reputed media posted, “Henry VI’s only son, Edward of Westminster, was killed at the Battle of Tewkesbury in 1471, aged 17,”

“Henry VI had no other children so how could he be a ‘direct’ ancestor? Prince Harry appears to have been very loosely educated. Maybe Eton owes HM the King a refund on their fees.”

“Prince Harry cannot even fact-check his own family tree given that he remains under the impression he is descendent from King Henry VI, whose son died childless at 17. But sure, let’s all believe Harry fact checks The Crown. That’s believable. ”

Meanwhile, an Air New Zealand spokesperson shot down Harry’s claims that he offered to buy his father-in-law a first-class flight from Mexico to the UK on Air New Zealand.

The spokesperson clarified on Wednesday that the airline has “never operated flights” between Mexico and the United Kingdom. Furthermore, they only provide Business Premier fares, not first class.
