Sunrise hosts divide viewers with ‘childish’ Prince Harry skit poking fun at his new autobiography Spare: ‘Give it a rest’
Sunrise has drawn mixed feedback from viewers after airing a cheeky skit about Prince Harry‘s new memoir Spare on Wednesday morning.
During the ‘story time’-themed segment, fill-in host Matt Doran read aloud an extract from Spare while his co-stars listened intently.
Fellow fill-in host Monique Wright lay on the couch with her head on newsreader Mylee Hogan’s lap, while sports presenter Mark Beretta sat nearby.
‘Soon after we returned to Britain, the Palace announced that Willy was going to marry’,’ Matt read, as jazz music played in the background.
‘And then what?’ Monique asked in mock excitement.
‘He calls him Willy, interesting!’ Matt mused, as Mark agreed, ‘Yeah, that’s new!’

Some viewers were left unimpressed by the light-hearted segment, branding it ‘childish’ and requesting that they scrap any discussions about Harry in future.
‘I hate this show. So dumb and childish’, one wrote, while another added: ‘How childish you lot are, get a life. Give Harry a rest for God’s sake, sick of hearing all the bashing of him.’
