'Is nothing ever Prince Harry's fault or responsibility?'
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
The Duke of Sussex’s autobiography 'Spare' is set for release on January 10, but some extracts have already reached the light of day and reveal sensational claims about rifts among the Royals.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister delivered his first major speech of 2023 setting out five pledges to fix the country; Britons have been facing five days of misery in the most disruptive rail strikes yet, as others step into their first days of Dry January.
Below we showcase this week’s most eagerly discussed talking points from Telegraph readers in the comments section, Letters page and the Front Page newsletter.
Prince Harry's memoir leaked
Leaked extracts of ‘Spare’, the Duke of Sussex’s forthcoming memoir, reportedly claim that the Prince of Wales not only physically attacked Prince Harry, but also encouraged him to wear a Nazi uniform.
Readers didn’t hold back in responding to the revelations. Many criticised Prince Harry’s continued accusations against the Royal Family, which they believe only serve to further damage his position.
Most disruptive rail strikes yet
Britain is in the midst of its toughest run of rail strikes in years, as further walk-outs over five consecutive days hit workers in the first week of January - with unions preparing to challenge strike reforms.
The exasperation felt by readers over the continued strikes was abundantly clear. Many believe the strikes will backfire, while others emphasise the necessity of modernisation.
Sunak's first major domestic speech of 2023
Rishi Sunak used his first major speech of 2023 to make five promises to voters. The Prime Minister said he will halve inflation, grow the economy, make sure the national debt shrinks, ensure NHS waiting lists fall and pass new laws to crackdown on the migrant Channel crossings crisis.
Telegraph readers were not confident that the Prime Minister’s promises are achievable, with many believing they lack appropriate detail.
Setting out his big picture vision of Britain, the Prime Minister also announced that he wants all pupils to study maths until the age of 18 - a pledge readers do not think should be prioritised.
Dry January
With many people stepping into their first days of Dry January, despite the warning that it risks killing off hundreds of pubs after a Christmas blighted by strike action, readers reflected on their teetotal experiences and discussed how keeping off booze has affected their health.
