Prince Harry’s ghostwriter, JR Moehringer, is a Pulitzer Prize-winning features writer whose own memoir about his absent father was adapted into a George Clooney-directed film. Now he’s turned his hand to ferreting out the most intimate details of royal life and familial intrigue, writes Sheila Flynn:

If “fan” stems from the word “fanatic”, that seems a good description of the presenter’s behaviour, writes Katie Edwards:

King Charles apparently carried a teddy bear around with him everywhere, according to Prince Harry writing in his new book, Spare.

Remembering seeing his father with the teddy while he was growing up, Harry said the bear was “pitiful” with “broken arms and dangly threads”.

It’s believed the bear was from Charles’ days at boarding school Gordonstoun in Scotland, where he was badly bullied, but it’s unknown if he still takes the toy around with him.

TK Maxx denied Prince Harry’s claim about shopping at the retailer during its yearly sales, which he mentioned in his new memoir, Spare.

In his book, which was released on 10 January, the Duke of Sussex reflected on buying from TK Maxx during their “once-a-year sale”. However, TK Maxx has now responded to the royal’s claim, noting that its stores don’t “do sales”.

“Whilst we’re delighted Prince Harry is a big fan, we thought we should explain we don’t actually do sales,” a spokesperson for the brand told Express. “Instead, we offer great value, style, and savings all year round.”

The response from TK Maxx - which is known as TJ Maxx in the US - comes after Harry made claims about how much he loves buying his daily attire from the department store.

Clarkson wrote that he loathed the Duchess of Sussex “on a cellular level” and wanted people to “throw lumps of excrement” at her.

There was no great rush to buy the autobiography in bookshops in Melbourne and Sydney, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

“I feel like maybe people are kind of sick of him now because he has been selling his story a lot already,” one shopper said.

You have to wonder whether Charles has had some intimation of the Lear-like quality of what has engulfed him and his still-young reign, writes Sean O’Grady.

Like King Lear, based on an elderly mythical king of Britain, and his three daughters Goneril, Regan and the pure Cordelia, Charles sought from his offspring their love, loyalty and respect.
