The famous couple’s Netflix docuseries, but that doesn’t hold a candle to Harry’s autobiography, Spare. In it, the son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana doesn’t mince words as he speaks about his family’s scandals.
In a brief excerpt from the book, Harry mentions going through dark times in his life. He says he has often been at odds with his family, and during one period, he found solace by listening to Shenseea.
“In the times I felt alone and separated from my family, I always took time to myself to sit back and listen to Shenseea,” he said. “Her lyrics resonated with me and got me through a lot.”
The Independent has apparently been duped into reporting a joke claim that Prince Harry sought consolation from his family woes in the music of Jamaican dancehall artist Shenseea.
The mistake comes months after the online-only newspaper erroneously reported in August that pseudonymous writer Elena Ferrante had died following claims shared by a hoax Twitter account.
In the latest article, titled “Prince Harry says listening to Jamaican artist Shenseea ‘got him through dark times’”, The Independent purported to quote from the prince’s autobiography Spare, due for release on Tuesday.
The article reported that the prince wrote: “In the times I felt alone and separated from my family, I always took time to myself to sit back and listen to Shenseea. Her lyrics resonated with me and got me through a lot.”
Their original tweet became a meme, prompting hundreds of similar fake quotes claiming variously that the Duke of Sussex had been consoled by Paris Hilton, actor Tom Holland or The Sims 4. Those jokes, in turn, were the latest manifestation of a broader meme about what Prince Harry has supposedly revealed in his book.
