Prince Harry Responds to 'African Child' Allegations

Summary

Prince Harry has denied claims that he referred to his son, Archie, as "my African child." This claim was made by journalist Tina Brown, who said the late Jane Goodall shared this information with her. Brown's statement cannot be independently confirmed, as Jane Goodall passed away earlier this year.

Key Facts

  • Tina Brown claimed that Prince Harry called his son Archie "my African child."
  • This claim was allegedly based on a conversation between Brown and Jane Goodall, before Goodall's death.
  • Prince Harry, through a spokesperson, denied ever making such a statement.
  • The story cannot be verified because Jane Goodall is no longer alive to confirm or deny it.
  • Tina Brown later clarified that she might have misquoted, saying the term was "Africa child."
  • Brown made these claims during an interview on Katie Couric's YouTube show.
