As he prepares to marry Meghan Markle, Prince Harry causes a media frenzy.
In his biography ‘Spare,’ Harry admits that the press made odd admissions when he was preoccupied with his wedding preparations.
He writes: “That spring, however, the press was quieter. Keener about breaking news of wedding details than inventing new libels. Each day there was another ‘world exclusive’ about the flowers, the music, the food, the cake. No detail too small, not even the Portaloos.”
Numerous journalists likened Harry’s wedding to that of Pippa Middleton.
He adds: “It was reported that we’d be providing the poshest Portaloos on earth—porcelain basins, gold-plated seats—after being inspired by the ones at Pippa Middleton’s wedding. In reality, we didn’t notice anything different about how or where people went pee or poo at Pippa’s, and we had nothing to do with choosing the Portaloos for ours. But we sincerely hoped that everyone would be able to do their thing in comfort and peace.”
