Prince Harry’s CONTROVERSY-strewn memoir Spare that left readers CRINGING up for two huge book prizes.K

The Duke of Sussex’s claims in the book include William calling Meghan ‘difficult’ and ‘rude’

THE Duke of Sussex’s controversial memoir Spare has been shortlisted for two prizes at the British Book Awards.

The tell-all tome was derided for his headline-grabbing claims about senior royals and cringeworthy chapter on losing his virginity.

But the work, ghost-written by US journalist J R Moehringer, was the fastest-selling non-fiction book in the UK since records began.

And royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said last night: “Spare is an extraordinary choice for an award but it did sell very well. The reason it could do well is down to his ghost writer, who was rather skilled.

“When it comes to selling books it could win awards, as it was nasty enough, ill-judged enough and well-enough written to draw in an audience.”

Today, US-based Harry watched as wife Meghan gave a keynote speech for an International Women’s Day event in Texas — where she spoke about how she is portrayed in the media.

His claims in the book include William calling Meghan “difficult” and “rude”, and the King being jealous of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

He also says Charles refused to allow Meghan to join him in Scotland as the late Queen was dying.

And he details having sex for the first time with an “older lady” who “treated me not unlike a young stallion”.

He says of the outdoors romp: “Quick ride, after which she smacked my rump and sent me off to graze.”

The book is nominated for the non- fiction narrative award and the narration audiobook non-fiction prize.

The first category’s nominees also include singer Britney Spears.

Harry narrated the audiobook himself and his competition for that award includes comedian and actor David Mitchell — for Unruly: A History of England’s Kings And Queens.
