Caroline Flack’s former agent has slammed Prince Harry for detailing his “tainted” romance with the late TV host in his upcoming memoir, Spare.
Many revelations have come from the autobiography after a Spanish version was accidentally released ahead of the January 10 launch.
Royal fans learnt how the Duke of Sussex said he killed 25 people while in Afghanistan, allegedly got into a physical altercation with Prince William, and among other things, how he found out about Queen Elizabeth’s death via text.
Another notable moment saw the Prince, 40, detail his relationship with Caroline, which has drawn criticism from her former agent, Alex Mullen.
He scathed: "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.”
Caroline had a flourishing TV career that spanned almost two decades, though she was arguably most well-known for presenting Love Island during seasons that included the likes of Max Morley, Camilla Thurlow, Zara McDermott and Dani Dyer.
Caroline tragically died in 2020 after taking her own life.
Alex continued: "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 his book, Harry detailed how he first met the former X Factor host during a night out with a mutual friend way back in 2009 following his breakup from Chelsy Davy.
Prince Harry said Caroline “wasn't taken aback that I didn't recognise her” and later described her as “funny, sweet and cool.”
He continued: “Very soon after they papped me and Flack, those photos set off a frenzy. Within hours a mob was camped outside Flack’s parents’ house, and all her friends’ houses, and her grandparents’ house.
“She was described in one paper as my ‘bit of rough’, because she once worked in a factory or something.
“Jesus, I thought, are we really such a country of insufferable snobs?”
The two continued their romance, but Harry admitted that he felt the relationship was “tainted".
Elsewhere in the book, the Duke touches on Caroline’s tragic death and explains: "She’d been so light and funny that night we met. The definition of carefree.”
Caroline also spoke about their romance in her own book, Storm in a C Cup, which was published in 2014.
She wrote at the time: "I was no longer Caroline Flack, TV presenter, I was Caroline Flack, Prince Harry’s bit of rough.
"Once the story got out, that was it. We had to stop seeing each other."
