Prince William ignores reporter who asked if he read Harry’s book




He’s keeping a stiff upper lip.

Prince William brushed off a reporter’s attempt to ask if he’s read his brother Prince Harry’s bombshell tell-all, “Spare,” as the Prince and Princess of Wales exited an event on Thursday.

“Your Royal Highness, have you had a chance to read your brother’s book at all?” the correspondent, shouted twice, according to video footage captured by ITV.

William showed no reaction to the question and quickly walked out of the charity with his wife, Kate Middleton, who also ignored the inquiry.

The royal couple’s stop at Open Door Charity in Birkenhead, England, marked their second appearance since Harry’s memoir was released on Tuesday.

Earlier Thursday, the pair stopped by the newly opened Royal Liverpool University Hospital, where they talked to the staff and learned about the medical center.

Middleton, 41, and William, 40, seemed in good spirits — despite the claims made against them and other members of the royal family in the Duke of Sussex’s memoir.

In the book, Harry claims that William physically attacked him after calling his younger brother’s wife, Meghan Markle, “difficult,” “rude” and “abrasive.”

“It all happened so fast. So very fast. He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor,” he wrote.

“I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.”

Harry also claimed that his father, King Charles III, referred to him as a “spare” son after the was born. He also claimed his father told him that the royal family didn’t have “enough money” to support Markle.

While Buckingham Palace has opted to remain quiet about the allegations made in Harry’s book, royal expert Katie Nicholl told Page Six that, per her sources, “William’s privately seething and devastated by what Harry has done. And just cannot forgive Harry for the things that he’s written.”
