ROYAL fans are all saying the same thing after Prince Harry moaned about shopping in TK Maxx and IKEA in his memoir.

In his bombshell book the Duke of Sussex spoke about bagging a bargain at the high street stores – but regular Brits have slammed the duke for complaining,

Harry wined in his book that he and Meghan were forced to buy a lamp from IKEA when furnishing their home

His bombshell book has been released in the UK today

In one segment of the memoir Harry says he would shop for his “everyday casual clothes” in TK Maxx and the duke shared his “system” for snagging bargains and optimising his time spent shopping.

He wrote: “Each year I received from Pa an official clothing allowance, but that was strictly for formal wear. Suits and ties, ceremonial outfits. For my everyday casual clothes I’d go to TK Maxx, the discount store.

“I was particularly fond of their once-a-year sale, when they’d be flush with items from Gap or J Crew, items that had just gone out of season or were slightly damaged.”

He continued: “If you timed it just right, got there on the first day of the sale, you could snag the same clothes that others were paying top prices for down the high street!

“With two hundred quid you could look like a fashion plate.”

In another part, Harry moaned about being “embarrassed” about having to furnish his home with IKEA furniture.

He says the feels arose after he and Meghan visited Prince William and Princess Catherine’s grandiose apartment.

He said: “We congratulated them on the renovation without holding back the compliments while feeling embarrassed of our IKEA lamps and the second-hand sofa we’d recently bought on sale with Meg’s credit card on sofa.com.”

The comments sparked fury online – with royal fans branding harry “pathetic”.
