Prince Harry called out by Caroline Flack's agent for telling out intimate details

Caroline Flack's old agency has criticised Prince Harry for opening up about their 'tainted' affair in his new novel Spare.

Harry speaks candidly about his friendship with the late TV host in a passage of the tell-all book that leaked after the biography was unintentionally put on sale in Spain five days early.

Harry isn't shy about talking about his time with the 'cool and sweet' presenter, from how they first met to their parting words when they parted to his stunned reaction to the devastating news Caroline had taken her own life in 2020.

Caroline's former agent, on the other hand, has reacted strongly to the allegations, calling the Duke 'gross' and accusing him of leveraging his previous connection to help promote his book.

The presenter's former publicist Alex Mullen fumes: "It’s absolutely gross for Prince Harry to reveal such private details about Caroline Flack."

"The way in which the press spoke about her at that time and the reason they split are both very sad and it’s disgusting he’s brought up old long forgotten slurs she had to suffer in full view of the public around the world."

"Of course Caroline reacted to them with humour and grace but privately she was deeply hurt; just the first of many injustices she didn’t deserve," penned the creative director of APM Media.

"Harry’s decision to remind all of the terrible things said about her to help sell his appalling book is grotesque."

"Moreover, and perhaps worst of all, he writes as if he has any idea why Carrie took her own life, parroting media reports as if they’re reality. Blaming the press because that’s what he read about it. He knows nothing."

"Perhaps he should be considering how he and Meghan Markle might have caused Queen Elizabeth II pain just as she lost her husband of 70 years and while she was on the path to her final goodbye."

"The Royal Family need to strip him of all titles immediately."

In an extract from Spare released by US Weekly, Harry recalls meeting the former Love Island presenter at a restaurant in 2009 while out with a mutual friend.

Harry claims he met Caroline'months' after parting up with his long-term ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy, a relationship he also discusses in his new book.
