‘Frozen todger’: Prince Harry relentlessly ridiculed as Queen’s aide demands public apology

“Royal wiener” has become the butt of jokes as Jimmy Kimmel, global brands, and Air New Zealand join the barrage of potshots at the Duke amid demands he corrects “inconsistencies” in Spare.

Prince Harry’s tell-all memoir Spare is backfiring on the Duke of Sussex with the once respected Royal becoming a viral punchline for late-night hosts and global brands.

It comes as a former aide to the late Queen Elizabeth II demanded a public apology from publisher Penguin Random House for miss-attributed quotes among a growing list of inconsistencies emerging from the pages of Spare.

What are @penguinrandom going to do about correcting this allegation against me - I never said anything of the sort. How about a public apology pdq? https://t.co/9mFI7oIqNl

US comedian Jimmy Kimmel led the relentless ridicule by savaging what Prince Harry revealed for Spare to double the sales of Barack Obama’s memoir on its first day, selling a staggering 1.43 million English-language copies.

“There’s a reason for that. Barack Obama didn’t write a chapter about frostbite on his penis,” Kimmel said.

“He rubbed a smidge of mummy’s lip balm on his tallywhacker, everybody. It’s quite an endorsement for Elizabeth Arden.

“You know when they say to write a tell-all, they don’t tell all. It’s just a phrase. The next book will have to create a little more distance between the word mummy and my penis.”

The late-night host posted a bad lip-synching video ridiculing Prince Harry in the latest mockery of the royal family. The video from Prince William and Catherine’s wedding mocks Prince Harry’s revelations as the Queen and Prince Philip watch on.

“Dearly beloved, Prince Harry’s hotdog is now a very, very cold dog as he has frozen his todger,” the priest says. “Please rise since Harry’s Royal wiener cannot.”

Air New Zealand joined the pile-on after Prince Harry wrote that his wife, Meghan Markle, bought a first-class ticket to fly her estranged father from Mexico to the United Kingdom.

“We told him, leave Mexico right now: A whole new level of harassment is about to rain down on you, so come to Britain. Now,’ Prince Harry wrote. “Air New Zealand, first class, booked and paid for by Meg.”

Air New Zealand however disputed that was even possible, saying they’ve never operated a route between Mexico and the UK and don’t sell first-class tickets.

On Thursday, Air New Zealand rebuffed the claim saying it has never operated flights between Mexico and the United Kingdom and does not offer a first-class service.

“Introducing #SussexClass. Apparently coming soon,” the airline wrote on Twitter, with crown and shifty eyes emojis.

It was one of several inconstancies being surfaced as the pages of Spare are scoured for line by line, including claims that his mother, Princess Diana, bought him a gift in 1997 that did not exist until 2001.

Global clothing brand TK Maxx, known as TJ Maxx in the US, responded to Prince Harry’s claims that he bought his clothes during their “once-a-year-sale”, which he said was flush with slightly-damaged items from the Gap or J Crew.

“While we’re delighted Prince Harry is a big fan, we thought we should explain we don’t actually do sales,” a spokesperson for the brand told Express UK. “Instead, we offer great value, style, and savings all year round.”

Prince Harry also faces the potential for legal trouble over claims made in the autobiography, with a former press secretary to the late Queen demanding an apology from its publisher for a quote he says was miss-attributed to him.

Dickie Arbiter, 82, is not named in Spare but says he is easily identifiable when the Duke of Sussex discusses a Daily Mail article that describes a panel of commentators as “Fleet Street’s jury”.

Prince Harry wore: “Among [the jury] was the Queen’s ex-press secretary, who concluded, with his fellow jurors, that we should hereafter “expect no mercy”.

“I shook my head. ‘No mercy’. The language of war?” he added.

Mr Arbiter, the Queen’s press secretary at the time, denied claims that he was part of the so-called Fleet Street jury and said it was part of a “number of errors in the book” that need to be corrected in future copies.

“Referencing ‘the Queen’s ex-press secretary’ — it is by association that by being the only former courtier regularly contacted by the media, the author is pointing the finger at me,” he told The Independent.

“I wish to make it abundantly clear I was not asked to be a part of ‘jury’ and I certainly would not use words like ‘expect no mercy’.”

The Times reported that the comment was made by the former chairman Equality and Human Rights Commission, Sir Trevor Philips, and not the Queen’s press secretary.

“What are @penguinrandom going to do about correcting this allegation against me – I never said anything of the sort. How about a public apology,” he tweeted.
