Eamonn Holmes lashes out and urges Prince Harry to 'grow a pair' after memoir shock

TV presenter Eamonn Holmes has urged Prince Harry to “grow a pair” after sharing intimate details of the fallout with The Duke of Sussex.

The former This Morning host launched into a blistering assault on Prince Harry who he accused of 'embarrassing' his dad by airing his family’s dirty laundry in public'.

The TV star's comments come falling the highly publicised fall-out of the brothers which once again hit the headlines after the release of Harry's tell-all autobiography Spare, and TV interview with Tom Bradbury.

The memoir contains claims that William, 40, pushed him over during a meeting at Frogmore Cottage in a row about his actress wife Meghan Markle, 41.

Eamonn added: “All this Will and Harry nonsense. Harry the Apache helicopter commander and talking about his brother slapping him in the face and he fell over a dog bowl and ripped his necklace off.

“You just think, ‘Oh, grow a pair for God’s sake.’ I’m sure in one blow he could’ve killed him if he’d wanted.”

Eamonn, who is one of four brothers then attempted to put himself in Harry's shoes as he added: “If one of my brothers were sounding off like that I know what would happen. The phone would ring and it would be, ‘What are you doing? Sort yourself out, button your mouth, or else,’ and that would be it''.

It's not the first time the GB News host has been vocal about the royals causing controversy.

During the Queen's funeral commentary coverage build he accused Meghan Markle of 'crocodile tears' and became frustrated with co-host Isabel Webster, as she shared her thoughts.

Isabel, 39, explained she hoped the family could reunite as her co-star sighed and rolled his eyes.

Taking another swipe at the Duchess of Sussex, adding: "It would be easier for her than anyone else to go, 'And cue the tears.'"

"Oh, stop it," Isabel scolded him, but he continued to accuse Meghan of "acting".

And in a more recent episode, Eamonn accused Harry of 'cognitive skills' after a number of inaccuracies are shared in his memoir.

The Duke claimed in Spare that he was at Eton College when the Queen Mother died, but according to photographs from he was skiing with the then-Prince of Wales Charles.

He also claimed to favour the high-street fashion chain TK Maxx even rating the retailer’s "once-a-year sale" — which the chain says never happens.

Breakfast with Eamon airs weekdays from 6am on GB News.
