Prince Harry was accused of cheating on an art exam at Eton by a teacher.
The Duke of Sussex has spoken about the incident in his new book Spare.
He criticizes the Firm for not allowing him to issue a statement or hold a press conference.

Prince Harry has revealed that he was heartbroken when a teacher accused him of cheating on an art exam at Eton.

The Duke of Sussex has spoken out about the personal turmoil he went through after a teacher accused him of cheating.

Meghan Markle’s husband also appeared to criticise the Firm for not issuing a statement or allowing him to hold a press conference to deny the allegations.

In his autobiography Spare, Harry described the incident, writing, “I was accused of cheating.”

He added: “An art teacher came forward with evidence of cheating, which turned out not to be evidence of cheating. It turned out to be nothing at all, and I was later cleared by the exam board. But the damage was done.”

Harry added: “The accusation stuck. Brokenhearted, I wanted to release a statement, hold a press conference, tell the world: I did the work! I didn’t cheat!

“The Palace wouldn’t let me. In this, as in most things, the Palace stuck fast to the family motto: Never complain, never explain. Especially if the complainer was an eighteen-year-old boy. Thus I was forced to sit by and say nothing while the papers called me a cheat and a dummy every day.”
