Heir we go, Harry! Will the Duke of Sussex still be king of the misery memoir?


He may have slipped to fifth place in line to the throne, but the Duke of Sussex at least has the consolation of being king of the misery memoir.

Thrice-married Nicholas Monson, whose elder son perished at the hands of the Kenyan police, says his book also contains details of an old fashioned childhood – including the first time he was thrashed. 'I was five or six,' he recalls, adding that the headmaster, who was smiling, told him to lower his shorts and pants – and then beat him with a hairbrush. Monson approves this tongue-in-cheek image and assures me that his memoir will strike a very different tone from Prince Harry's.
