Literally everyone in the whole world is talking about Prince Harry and his stupid memoir and how many dumb revelations he’s come out with in it, but this one about being gifted an XBox four years before it officially came out has to be one of the stupidest.

His claim becomes even stranger when he says that his mother Princess Diana sent it to him days after her death from beyond the grave, as she had already picked it out for him for his birthday before her tragic passing. Here’s what he had to say:

I was also, most often, alone. I liked people, I was gregarious by nature, but just then I didn’t want anyone too close. I needed space.

Days after my return I had a birthday. September 15, 1997. I turned thirteen. By long-standing tradition there would be a cake, sorbet, and I was allowed to choose two flavours.

I recevied a gift from my late mother, given to me by my aunt Sarah.

I tore at the wrapping paper, the ribbon. I peered inside. ‘Mummy bought it for you. Shortly before…’ It was an Xbox. I was pleased. I loved video games.

That’s the story, anyway. It’s appeared in many accounts of my life, as gospel, and I have no idea if it’s true. Pa said Mummy hurt her head, but perhaps I was the one with brain damage?

What? That’s a really weird statement at the end and also a really strange claim in general as it’s pretty easy for anyone involved with the writing/publication of the book to factcheck when an Xbox actually came out and realise that this is absolutely preposterous and that he probably meant an N64 or a Playstation. How can that have slipped through the net there?

The story kinda brings the whole book into disrepute as well as if nobody bothered to fact check this simple story then what else could have slipped through the net? That’s also probably the one thing that Prince Harry didn’t want with releasing it. Good work everyone involved.
