Prince Harry may have 'lied' in bombshell memoir as book slammed as 'inaccurate'
Prince Harry has been accused of lying about a number of claims in his explosive memoir Spare, with one royal expert saying he can prove the book is inaccurate.
The Duke of Sussex sent shockwaves around the world when he released the bombshell book, which featured a number of accusations about members of the Royal Family. In Spare, Harry also claimed to have taken drugs in his youth but this has recently come under fire.
Royal photographer Arthur Edwards also suggested Harry wasn't accurate when he recalled how he found out the Queen Mother had died. Harry wrote: "At Eton, while studying, I took the call. I wish I could remember whose voice was at the other end; a courtier's I believe.

Spare has been slammed by claims it's 'inaccurate' (PA)"I recall that it was just before Easter, the weather bright and warm, light slanting through my window, filled with vivid colours." However, Arthur insisted Harry was actually in Klosters when the Queen Mother died.

"I remember it clearly because I photographed him the next day leaving back for, going back to the UK for the funeral. So, a lot of that book is inaccurate," Arthur told The Sun.
He then suggested it's possible Harry also lied about taking drugs. Harry recalled taking cocaine as a teenager, smoking marijuana and trying magic mushrooms in his memoir, claims which have been scrutinised by right wing think tank The Heritage Foundation.
They filed a lawsuit against the Department for Homeland Security after Harry was allowed to move to America in 2020, despite the drugs Harry claimed to have taken being illegal. The Heritage Foundation suggested the Department for Homeland Security gave Harry preferential treatment in order to process his US visa.

He argued that the book, which sold more than three million copies in its first week, "isn't sworn testimony or proof."
Royal expert Arthur said: "His words finally are having to be judged, they're having to be -they've got consequences." He added: "Well, you know, you can't have it both ways. If it's true then, then you're guilty but if it's not true, you're a liar."
The Department for Homeland Security has said it cannot reveal whether Harry's visa application in 2020 mentioned his past drug use. In a statement they said releasing details of his application would "constitute an unwarranted invasion of Prince Harry’s privacy." They added: "The records are particularly sensitive because releasing them, even in part, would reveal Prince Harry's status in the United States, which Prince Harry has not disclosed."
