Prince Harry, Meghan Markle's Royal Family Revelations 'Backfired,' Bethenny Frankel Says
KEY POINTS
- Bethenny Frankel shaded Prince Harry for oversharing in his new memoir "Spare"
- The former "RHONY" star said Harry should have titled his book "Mention It All" or "Dirty Harry Laundry"
- The Bravo personality said "Spare" is a win-win for the Sussexes and the royal family
Bethenny Frankel will not buy Prince Harry's book "Spare."
The former "Real Housewives of New York City" star took to Instagram Friday to share her thoughts on the claims that have emerged from Prince Harry's upcoming memoir "Spare," which she described as "'Saturday Night Live' skit material."
Despite all the "crazy" details the Duke of Sussex has spilled about the royal family, Frankel suggested that he and his wife Meghan Markle have only made the royals look better.
"I've never known about or cared more about the royals. These two have done billions in free good PR for the royals. That was a backfire," she wrote.
"Many people gave them the benefit of the doubt. There is selling past the point of yes. I guess the question is, in life and particularly in family matters, does EVERYTHING need to be said?" she continued. "The good news is everybody wins. Harry and Meghan did a smash-and-grab, and the royals' approval ratings are up. If that's more important than family, then go with GOD."
In a video accompanying the message, Frankel, 52, threw shade at Prince Harry for oversharing in his book, in which he discussed allegedly being physically attacked by his older brother Prince William, losing his virginity and trying cocaine.
"How much more? Are we going with Meghan to get a pap smear? I mean, what's next?" Frankel hilariously asked in the video. "Honestly, I feel like I'm going to be in a rectal exam with Harry and William. ... We get it. We got it. I mean, what else are we gonna do? Like, high colonics with the royals?"
She continued, "We understand that s–t went down. It's family stuff, like it's gonna be crazy. I mean, it's just so funny."
The former Bravo personality also suggested that Prince Harry change his book's name to "Dirty Harry Laundry" or "Mention It All," referencing her infamous line from "RHONY."
However, while she wanted the BetterUP CIO to lay off spilling family secrets, Frankel admitted that she was also "leaning into" the drama.
"Say more so I can say more," she said. "Like, I was saying stop it. I'm wrong. Keep it going. I want to hear what's going to happen next."
She concluded her tirade by saying she has no plans to buy or read his memoir.
"I'm not gonna buy [his book] or read it. I will not pay the money. We gave him a couple hundred million in cash and prizes, but no, it's not enough. It's not enough," she said.
Prince Harry claimed in his book that Prince William once allegedly attacked him and left him with a back injury following a dispute over his marriage to Markle. He also alleged that William and his wife Kate Middleton encouraged him to wear a Nazi costume to a 2005 costume party.
The Duke of Sussex also detailed losing his virginity at 17 to an older horse-loving partner behind a bar, describing the encounter as "humiliating," the New York Post reported.
"Spare" will hit shelves Tuesday.
