Prince William ‘recoiled’ from Meghan Markle’s hug and was ‘completely freaked out’ during their first meeting, says Harry

In his bombshell memoir Spare, which hit shelves today, the Duke of Sussex, 38, described the moment he introduced his brother to his girlfriend as a ‘classic collision of cultures’.

The meeting took place in late 2016 at the Prince and Princess of Wales’s Kensington Palace apartment, shortly before Prince Harry and Prince William went on a shooting trip.

The Duke explains how Meghan had already met Princess Eugenie, her then-boyfriend Jack Brooksbank, the Duchess of York, Prince Andrew and the Queen.

But when he introduced her to the future King, Harry wrote: ‘I introduced Meg, who leaned in and gave him a hug, which completely freaked him out. He recoiled.’

Bookshops open early as Prince Harry’s memoir finally goes on sale…but only one royal fan is waiting outside Waterstones in London to buy Spare

Bookshops opened early this morning for the release of Prince Harry’s memoir – but rather than floods of customers, staff saw barely anyone turn up.

Promotional posters on display at Waterstones in Piccadilly, Europe’s largest bookshop, dubbed the autobiography ‘the memoir everybody is talking about’.

But Caroline Lennon, 59, was the only one waiting to buy Spare after she walked two miles from Bethnal Green in the East End to queue from 6am.

Ms Lennon posed for photographers as she exited the shop with her copy, saying: ‘I’m looking forward to listening to the audiobook straight away.’

James Bradley, 61, from Hammersmith in west London, bought a copy of Spare on his way into work to read when he goes on holiday with friends on Wednesday. He was only the

Mr Bradley, who was only the third person to buy a copy at Waterstones in Piccadilly within an hour of its opening, said the royal family would not be damaged by the book’s revelations.

‘He is obviously very controversial and this book has done, I think, a lot of damage to Harry,’ he added.

Prince Harry reveals he STILL smoked drugs aged 36 and after rolling a joint would listen to frogs croaking outside Tyler Perry’s house while Archie and Meghan were asleep

In his controversial autobiography ‘Spare’, Prince Harry reveals he would ‘roll a joint’ and smoke it by himself at night, at the age of 36.

The Duke of Sussex, now 38, wrote he smoked marijuana while he and his family were staying at US actor Tyler Perry‘s house in Los Angeles – where the drug is legal – in 2020, after they left Canada.

He wrote: ‘Late at night, with everyone asleep, I’d walk the house, checking the doors and windows.

‘Then I’d sit on the balcony or the edge of the garden and roll a joint. The house looked down onto a valley, across a hillside thick with frogs. I’d listen to their late-night song, smell the scented air.’

Meghan was ‘baffled’ after being told by Harry to have her photo taken at Taj Mahal, where Diana had famous snap

Prince Harry has revealed how he ordered his wife not to take a photo in front of the Taj Mahal as he did not want people to think she was mimicking his mother.

In 1992, Diana, Princess of Wales was pictured sitting alone at the famous landmark on a tour of India, in an image considered symbolic of the state of her relationship with Charles.

Writing in his memoir Spare, which was finally released in the UK at midnight, Harry says he and Meghan laughed about the advice he gave her ahead of a trip she was taking to India.

‘Do not take a photo in front of the Taj Mahal. She’d asked why and I’d said: My mum,’ he wrote.

Prince Harry turns Royal Family into a laughing stock as Late Show’s Stephen Colbert lampoons the duke

Prince Harry and his memoirs have been ridiculed by Stephen Colbert ahead of the broadcast of their US TV interview tonight with the comedian comparing his life to Harry Potter and joking the new book is available as a royal commemorative plate.

The Duke of Sussex was also seen downing tequila shots in an interview with The Late Show in New York after being swept into the studio by armed bodyguards yesterday.

Harry is at the end of his transatlantic TV blitz promoting his new memoirs Spare, which is out today. In a series of interviews in the US and UK he has shared intimate details of his life, including losing his virginity, his use of drugs and killing 25 Taliban, as well as private conversations with his family and the deepening rift over Megxit.

But even the usually supportive liberal US media is tiring of Prince Harry’s complaints. The Left-wing, anti-British New York Times, called his remarks ‘repetitive and tiresome’ and suggested the ‘tide seems to be turning’ in US attitudes towards the Sussexes.

Prince Harry is protected by armed bodyguard carrying a Glock pistol box as he heads to The Late Show studio in New York to film his latest tirade on Royal Family

Just hours before the release of his explosive tell-all memoir, Prince Harry was spotted entering a New York TV studio protected by an armed guard.

The Duke of Sussex was in the Big Apple for an interview with The Late Show’s Stephen Colbert on Monday, as he continued his media blitz to promote his bombshell book, Spare.

As the 38-year-old duke traveled to Manhattan, photos of him arriving at the studio show him accompanied by a guard carrying a Glock lock box, used to carry his pistol and ammunition.
