Prince Harry to spill on scandalous memoirs in TV interviews
13 Sept 11:36Key points summarised by AI
Prince Harry's memoir 'Spare' was leaked ahead of its official release, revealing explosive details about royal family rifts, personal life, and military service.
Key revelations include an alleged physical altercation with Prince William, admissions of drug use, and a claim of killing 25 people while serving in Afghanistan.
Harry discussed these controversies in highly anticipated TV interviews, accusing his family of planting negative stories and expressing a desire for reconciliation contingent on accountability.
The book's contents, particularly the Afghanistan claims, sparked widespread condemnation from media, military veterans, and even the Taliban, and reportedly impacted Queen Elizabeth II's health in her final months.
Harry described Prince William as his 'beloved brother and arch-nemesis,' highlighting a long-standing 'heir/spare' competition between them.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Today 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
