Prince Harry today declared he was a candidate for the Republican nomination for president.
When told that you need to have been born in the United States to be eligible, Harry said, “What about Henry Kissinger?”
When told that you need to be thirty-five years old to be eligible, Harry said, “I am thirty-eight years old.”
Harry, the Duke of Sussex, the controversial brother of England’s future king (William), married Meghan Markle in 2018, and royal watchers have talked ceaselessly of the couple ever since. The Duke addressed the exclusive Royal Club in Pacific Palisades on his birthday, the fifteenth of September. The title of his address: “There Will Always Be an England.” Afterward, I caught up with him.
“How about the rumor that King Charles was not your real father?”
“How would you like a punch in the nose?”
“No, seriously. There is a rumor that James Hewitt is your real father, not King Charles III.”
“That rumor has caused me great pain over the years.”
“Was Caroline Flack, who took her own life in 2020, your ex-girlfriend?”
“We had a brief fling in 2009 after our friend Caroline Pinkham introduced us.”
“I knew [Pinkham] was friends with Prince Harry, and I’d never met him, so I thought, ‘Oh that’s quite exciting,’ and for a moment I perked up,” Flack wrote in her 2014 memoir, “Storm in a C Cup.”
As for Chelsy Davy (right), another of Harry’s exes, it is rumored that the prince’s grandmother never approved of the free-spirited Zimbabwean beauty. — Walter Carey, in Pacific Palisades
