A GUEST at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding has poured cold water on Harry’s claim that he was not his brother’s best man.

From tongue scraping to saying no, here are 12 health trends to try in 2023Harry said he acted out the role to spare the blushes of Meade and van Straubenzee, who gave traditional best man speeches at the reception.
But the guest recalled: “The speech was a three-way. Harry MC’d it. James and Thomas spoke, with Harry bringing them in, doing the banter.
“And the irony is that Harry was the funniest of the three. He had the guests in stitches.”
The guest then referred to the late Queen’s comment on Harry and Meghan’s Oprah Winfrey interview in 2021.
They said: “Some recollections may vary.”
