Prince Harry has sensationally claimed he was not William’s best man as he slammed the “barefaced lie”.

The Duke of Sussex claims his brother did not want him to give a speech when he married Kate Middleton in 2011.

Instead, Harry says he was forced to act as a compere to introduce William’s friends James Meade and Thomas Van Straubenzee, who actually gave the speech, The Sun reports.

The Royal made the fresh claims in his bombshell memoir Spare, which has sent shockwaves across the world.

Harry wrote: “Willy didn’t want me giving a best man’s speech.”

The prince had travelled with his brother to Westminster Abbey and was officially classed as William’s best man.

In the latest series of “truth-bombs” chucked at the Royal Family, Harry also claims his brother was “tipsy on last night’s rum” just hours before the wedding.

Harry says he told “tipsy” William “you smell of alcohol” before offering him mints and lowering the car window.

The remarks are the latest attack on his brother after he astonishingly claimed William physically attacked him.

Harry said he was “knocked to the floor” during a blazing row at Nottingham Cottage in 2019.

The Royal claimed he had a visible injury to his back after landing on a dog bowl.

Harry also said William branded Meghan Markle “difficult” and “abrasive” during the argument.

His memoir Spare is due to be released on January 10 but accidentally went on sale in Spain early.

The book contains a number of revelations including how he lost his virginity to an older woman.

Harry also details his drug taking – revealing a bin started talking to him after he tried magic mushrooms.
