The life of Prince Harry on the public scene, within the Crown, but also below the belt… In The Alternate(Fayard), literary phenomenon of this beginning of the year 2023, the duke of Sussex delivered to his readers many anecdotes, including one which certainly surprised them. Indeed, in 2011, duringan expedition to the pole North, the husband of Meghan Markle was the victim offrostbite to his private parts. “While my ears and cheeks were already healing, my penis was not. The problem was getting worse day by day…” he wrote.
Frostbite “are most often located in the fingers and toes. They are manifested by small red patches, even purplish, which swell and itch. The itching increases when the affected area warms up”, explains the health insurance. To help Archie and Lilibet’s father heal as soon as possible of this painful wound caused by the cold, a friend of this one advised him to apply on the sore zone the “Crème 8 heures” by Elizabeth Ardenwhich did not fail to surprise him: “My mom used to use it on her mouth and you want me to put this on my cock?” If the anecdote has something to smile about, it would also have boost sales of said cream, as reported by the Daily Express. Thus, the British chain of stores Boots indicated that “Eight-Hour Cream sales increased by 60% compared to last year. And online searches are up 180%”. For its part, the illustrious cosmetics brand rebounded with humor on this announcement by posting this message on Twitter: “Our 8 Hour Cream has been in the spotlight lately, but for us it has always been a star.”

Prince Harry without taboo on his circumcision
This story abouthis perilous expedition in the great cold also pushed prince Harry to say more about this daring subject by revealing that he was circumcised : “Mom had forbidden it, they all said, and while it was absolutely true that the risk of penile frostbite is much greater if you are uncircumcised, all the stories were wrong. I was circumcised when I was a baby.” Yet, for Craig Comiter,professor of urology at Stanford Medical School, it was not this operation that would have favored the frostbite of the youngest son of King Charles III: “He probably did not have enough warm clothes”, he suggested to our colleagues of Slate. And to add:When we go to a very cold region, we buy ultra-expensive woolen gloves and socks, and a face mask, but we are pretty much content with wearing underwear and pants.”
