Sean began his online critique of Harry with a tweet about his book, stating, "My long-awaited review of Prince Harry’s autobiography is just two words: 'Spare Me.'"



 

As people pointed out the similarities between Sean and Harry, both of whom tragically lost famous parents at a young age, Sean recalled an encounter with Princess Diana's younger son.

He stated, "Actually I am aware [that we have things in common]. We met once. That was before I realized he was an idiot."



 

The Oscar-winner appeared particularly offended by Harry's revelation in his book about treating his frostbitten penis - which he humorously referred to as his "todger" - with his late mother's favorite lip cream.

Reflecting on his initial post, Sean remarked, "It was a pun, But he deserves to be mocked after that todger episode. He’ll be fine."



 

Despite royal fans rallying behind Harry and recognizing the hardships he has endured, Sean remained steadfast in his decision to ridicule the royal.

Regarding Harry's past, Sean expressed, "That is very sad. I don’t hold any of that against him. It’s the stupidity that bothers me. Just because I made a joke does not mean I don't empathize with him. I do actually. Also why I’m very disappointed with his outlook. I was hoping he’d be smarter."



 

Despite the backlash from Harry's supporters, the artist remained undeterred, concluding, "People are coming after me because I made a joke about the title of Harry’s book. It’s pretty great."
