Prince Harry has been the topic of countless headlines around the world since the release of his tell-all memoir, Spare. As the topic of conversation continues, one thing is for sure – Harry has definitely been keeping the world on its toes.
The Duke of Sussex's book has become the fastest-selling non-fiction book of all time in the UK, with plenty of juicy revelations unfolding as readers work their way through the pages.
But when Sunrise hosts Monique Wright and Matt Doran decided to mention Harry while promoting the book live on Wednesday morning, viewers had a few things to say.
The duo entertained viewers with their interpretation of Harry's book Spare, with Mylee Hogan and Mark Beretta joining them on the couch in a show of support.
At the end of the show, Matt read from the book to Monique, with her feet resting on his knee and head on Mylee's lap.
'Soon after we returned to Britain, the Palace announced that Willy was going to marry,' he read, to which Monique dramatically responded with: 'And then what?!'
The hosts were also surprised to learn that Prince Harry has a nickname for his brother...
Matt quipped: 'He calls him Willy, interesting!'
'Yeah, that's new!' Mark added.
The playful skit prompted many viewers to praise Monique and Matt's 'great chemistry' on the show, with some calling their content 'fun to watch'.
One person said: 'Monique and Matt have great chemistry together and you never know what they’ll come up with next which makes them fun to watch.'
'We can’t get enough of them,' another added.
A third chimed in: 'You guys are awesome. Enjoyed the laughs, Mon you crack us up.'
Monique and Matt have been filling in for Nat Barr and David ‘Kochie’ Koch over the holiday period, and it seems they’ve made quite an impression with the audience.
One comment read: 'Mon and Matt should continue to do the show.'
'I am going to miss Mon and Matt, you were so much fun.'
However, not everyone was a fan of the segment - some even urged the show to stop talking about Harry.
'It would be good if you guys can not talk about him so much every morning,' one user commented.
Another wrote: 'Not interested in Harry don’t really care, [I'm] over hearing about him.'
A third added: 'I hate this show. So dumb and childish.'
The prince's record-breaking memoir recounts a number of startling incidents, from his father King Charles' relationship with his wife Camilla, to Prince William and Kate Middleton convincing him to don a Nazi costume for a 2005 party.
The release of the memoirs has certainly caused a great deal of controversy and questions remain over whether it is appropriate for a member of the British Royal Family to speak out in the public domain. The balance between the public's right to know and their right of privacy is a delicate one.
Keeping this in mind, Harry’s decision to release a ‘tell all’ book is certainly not new. Here are some royal memoirs that made the headlines in recent years:
A King's Story: The Memoirs of H.R.H. the Duke of Windsor
The controversial Duke of Windsor (also known as the Former King Edward VIII) published a memoir in which he explained why he chose to renounce the monarchy.
In addition, he describes his upbringing in the royal family, his time at Oxford, and of course, his love for American divorcee Wallis Simpson.
Memories of Ninety Years by Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester
Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, was the wife of Prince Henry, the younger brother of George VI and Edward VIII.
At 90 years old, she wrote her memoirs, which recount her days as a debutante in London society, her travels around England as a youngster, and her marriage to Henry.
Finding Sarah: A Duchess's Journey to Find Herself by Sarah Ferguson
The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, has authored more than a dozen novels, more than any other member of the British royal family on this list.
Following 1996's My Story, which was published in the wake of her divorce from Prince Andrew, she published Finding Sarah is her second memoir.
