Spencer Pratt: I've been misrepresented
Spencer Pratt feels he's been "misrepresented for most of [his] life". The 41-year-old star hopes that his upcoming memoir, The Guy You Loved To Hate: Confessions From A Reality TV Villain, will help him to clear-up some of the misconceptions that have dogged him throughout his time in the spotlight. Speaking to People, Spencer explained: "I've been misrepresented for most of my life — and honestly? That worked for a while. But the real story is way more interesting than the fiction, which is why I'm finally telling it, no holds barred, in my own words." Spencer - who has been married to fellow reality star Heidi Montag since 2008 - hopes the public will now see a different side of his personality through his upcoming memoir. The TV star said: "I poured everything I have into this book, sharing all the secrets, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share it with you." The memoir promises to reveal the "untold truth" behind Spencer's life. The book's synopsis explains: "Now, for the first time, Spencer reveals the untold truth behind the spectacle — a darkly comedic, unflinching and often surreal confessional from a TV villain who's finally broken character for good." Meanwhile, Heidi recently described herself as a "trailblazer" in the entertainment industry. The 38-year-old reality star was widely criticised in 2009 after undergoing ten cosmetic surgery procedures in one day - but Heidi thinks it was "important to be honest" about her cosmetic surgeries. Asked about her act of honesty, Heidi told The Independent: "I definitely was breaking the barrier and the fourth wall of what everyone was secretly doing in Hollywood. "Part of being a trailblazer is when you are the first one to do something, you're usually the most criticised for it. That's something I can accept because I never want to be a liar; that's not the way that I'm built." Heidi doesn't have any regrets about being so honest. She explained: "I wanted to tell the story of, hey, this is what I did and what a lot of people do; to break that facade and that mirage of what's going on in Hollywood."

Prince Harry explores severing royal ties by adopting Princess Diana's surname
Prince Harry reportedly explored dropping his royal surname in favour of Spencer, the maiden name of his late mother, Princess Diana, as tensions with the royal family continue to simmer. According to sources who spoke with the Daily Mail, the 40-year-old royal 'actively explored ways to assume his mother's surname' and even raised the idea with his uncle, Charles Earl Spencer, during a recent trip to the UK. 'They had a very amicable conversation,' a friend of Harry's told the outlet. 'Spencer advised him against taking such a step,' citing the legal and logistical difficulties that would come with abandoning the Mountbatten-Windsor name. Had he gone ahead, the move would have marked a significant break from the royal identity passed down through generations. The name Mountbatten-Windsor is a blend of Queen Elizabeth II's royal family name and Prince Philip's adopted surname, chosen when he became a naturalised British citizen and relinquished his Greek and Danish royal titles in 1947. The name traces back to Philip's maternal uncle, Lord Louis Mountbatten, a major influence on both Philip and King Charles III. Prince Harry, born Henry Charles Albert David, has rarely used a surname publicly, instead going by titles. During his school years and military service, he and his brother William used the surname Wales, based on their father's title, the then Prince of Wales. In uniform, Harry was known simply as 'Harry Wales'. He became the Duke of Sussex in 2018, a title granted by Queen Elizabeth II upon his marriage to Meghan Markle, who then became the Duchess of Sussex. Despite stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Meghan has publicly embraced 'Sussex' as the family name, saying she wanted to share a surname with her children. In an episode of her Netflix show With Love, Meghan, she corrected guest Mindy Kaling: 'It's so funny you keep saying 'Meghan Markle', you know I'm Sussex now.' 'You have kids and you go, 'No, I share my name with my children',' she added. 'It just means so much to go, this is OUR family name. Our little family name'. Controversy recently flared over claims Meghan has used the 'HRH' title privately, despite an agreement with Buckingham Palace to forgo the styling. The dispute emerged after a friend received a gift basket accompanied by a card signed, 'HRH The Duchess of Sussex.' Prince Harry remains publicly estranged from senior members of the royal family but has expressed a desire to reconcile. In a May interview following the rejection of his legal appeal regarding UK security arrangements, he told the BBC, 'There have been so many disagreements between me and some of my family… Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things but… there's no point in continuing to fight anymore.' 'Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has,' he added. 'He won't speak to me because of this security stuff. It would be nice to reconcile.'
