- The Duke of Sussex made the controversial remarks in his memoir Spare.
- He was barred from joining the British Army on a mission in Iraq due to excessive press coverage.
- Prince Harry believes that the papacy is forced to carry out tasks assigned to them.
Prince Harry has compared the intrusive British press and paparazzi to ‘radicalised Iraqis,’ implying that the papacy is forced to carry out the tasks assigned to them by their editors, just as young Iraqis are forced to listen to their’mullahs’.
The Duke of Sussex made the controversial remarks in his highly explosive memoir Spare, which was released to thunderous applause on January 10.
When he was barred from joining the British Army on a mission in Iraq due to excessive press coverage putting him in danger, Prince Harry expressed his belief that the paparazzi were as ‘grotesque’ as Iraqis.
“The paps had always been grotesque people, but as I reached maturity, they were worse. You could see it in their eyes, their body language. They were more emboldened, more radicalized, just as young men in Iraq had been…” Prince Harry said.
He went on: “Their mullahs were editors, the same ones who had vowed to do better after Mummy died.”
Prince Harry’s book Spare sold record copies upon its release, and has since divided readers, with many slamming the Duke of Sussex for lobbing attacks on the British monarchy.
