Prince Harry might have claimed in his new memoir that he received an Xbox for his 13th Birthday, but gaming fans have said the iconic console was first released 4 years later 🎮
Royal fans have spotted a slip-up fromThe Duke writes in his highly-anticipated memoir that Princess Diana bought him anIn Spare, Prince Harry says he was handed a present by his aunt, Diana’s sister Lady Sarah McCorquodale on the day of his birthday.Recounting the day Harry says he was allowed to choose two flavours of sorbet, so picked blackcurrant and mango because they were ‘Mummy’s favourites’.
Harry says that he was asked to make a wish and was thinking of Diana when ‘out of nowhere’ his aunt Sarah appeared holding a box.Harry has recalled what his mum got him for his 13th birthday He ‘tore at the wrapping paper, peered inside’ and saw he had received an Xbox. According to Harry, his aunt Sarah revealed that Diana had bought the games console for him shortly before her death, while she was in Paris.In Spare, he writes: ‘That’s the story, anyway. It’s appeared in many accounts of my life, as gospel, and I have no idea if it’s true. Pa said Mummy hurt her head, but perhaps I was the one with brain damage? As a defence mechanism, most likely, my memory was no longer recording things quite as it once did.
It does appear that Harry might be getting confused though, as the Xbox wasn’t actually available to buy until four years later. Released in 2001, Xbox was Microsoft’s first entry into the world of gaming, which placed it in direct competition with Sony’s PlayStation 2 and Nintendo’s GameCube.
