Speculation has swirled around the veracity of Prince Harry's memoir, particularly regarding his disclosure of past drug use.
Some skeptics suggest that he might have embellished his experiences to drive book sales. In "Spare," Harry openly admitted to using cocaine, marijuana, and psychedelic mushrooms in the past. However, attorneys representing the Biden Administration argue that this admission alone doesn't necessarily confirm his actual drug use. Meanwhile, a Washington think tank is pushing to uncover details from Prince Harry's visa application, claiming it's a matter of significant public interest.
Sources close to Prince Harry assert that he truthfully answered questions during the visa application process. Nonetheless, there's speculation about potential deportation risks for Harry, with ghostwriter Joshua Liac suggesting that admitting certain aspects of the memoir aren't entirely accurate could offer protection. The government's stance is that they don't treat every detail in the memoir as gospel truth.
Mr. Liac, a seasoned ghostwriter, points out the lack of rigorous fact-checking in memoirs, except in cases where discussing real individuals could lead to legal repercussions. He highlights the immense success of "Spare," co-authored by J. Moringo and Prince Harry, which sold over 1.2 million copies globally in its debut week a year ago.
Despite fans' enthusiasm, Harry's remarks have come under scrutiny, especially after his lawyer questioned the authenticity of his drug-related anecdotes. There's speculation about potential legal action from Courtney Cox regarding Harry's portrayal of events at her home involving mushrooms. Cox denies Harry's claims and stresses their amicable relationship, although they reportedly had no interaction at a recent gathering.
The aftermath of Harry's memoir release has sparked debate on social media and among commentators, with some supporting Cox's right to take legal action against Harry for alleged falsehoods.
