While scholars and cultural critics have been writing serious think pieces about Prince Harry\u2019s memoir \u201cSpare,\u201d particularly the potential historical significance of his insights into the allegedly dark and destructive machinations of the British royal family, Jimmy Kimmel and others have had fun focusing on the intimate details that the Duke of Sussex shares about his private parts.<\/p>\n
The host of \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d has produced two bits since last week that make fun of Harry\u2019s discussion about how he suffered a frostbitten penis while participating in a trek to the North Pole with other military veterans in 2011. The segment from Monday night also zeros in on Harry\u2019s need in his book to regularly connect events, including his frostbite woes, to his late mother, Princess Diana, as if to emphasize how much of a presence she remains in his life.<\/p>\n
Indeed, Kimmel has Harry invoke the name of Sigmund Freud \u2014 the author of the Oedipus complex psychoanalytic theory \u2014 in the bit that has the duke thinking about his mother while seeking relief from his frostbite. For the segment, Kimmel introduces \u201ca new children\u2019s book\u201d that he said was inspired by the blockbuster success of Harry\u2019s book and particularly the popularity of his frostbite story.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a twist on \u201cThe Princess and the Pea,\u201d Kimmel joked. \u201cIt\u2019s called \u2018The Prince and the Penis.\u2019 The kids will love this. It\u2019s time to gather them around because I have the honor of sharing the first read of the new book.\u201d<\/p>\n
