Memes mocking Prince Harry’s revelations in his book The Alternateflourish on the web.
Prince Harry has become the archetype of the person who confides a little too much. About ten days after the publication of his Memoirstitled The Alternate, the prince is mocked on Twitter. As noted in particular Spottersmemes are now flourishing there.
Several aspects of Prince Harry’s story are mentioned, such as his double talk vis-à-vis his family, which he repeats at length in interviews wanting to find them, while they comb them abundantly in his book.
Of course the flood of revelations, some of which are very intimate – such as the episode of the frostbite on his penis treated with the cream that his mother used, or his deflowering – arouse many reactions. Many regret having learned much more than they would have liked.
Some have even reenacted the famous scene of violence between Harry and his brother William. This is one of the first extracts from the book to have leaked, before its publication. The prince recounted a violent altercation with William, who would then have thrown him to the ground, on the dog’s bowl, and tore off his collar in the process.
Facetious and gifted Internet users have reproduced the Bayeux tapestry scene and it’s tasty.
In the game of memes, false excerpts from the book are also legion, to point out the sometimes childish nature of the accusations made by the prince. Like this fake snippet: “When I was a kid my dad grabbed my nose then pulled it back with his thumb between his fingers saying ‘I stole your nose’. I thought I had been severely disfigured, the torment I suffered still haunts me today,” wrote one user.
Among the (true) revelations of the prince, the passage on his childhood room in Balmoral, which was smaller than that of his brother, amused readers a lot.
The half-accusing, half-mysterious gaze displayed by the prince on the cover photo of the book is also the subject of many diversions.
“Me: Today I’m going to be quiet and mysterious.
Me 5 seconds later: “
Others, finally, point to the “Freudian” character of the Substitutepeppered with references to Princess Diana, and Charles’ lack of warmth.
The excerpt that struck the reader the most is the one where Harry explains that he put on his penis suffering from frostbite, the cream that his mother used.
