Boris Johnson was not asked by Buckingham Palace to try and persuade Prince Harry to stay in the UK, according to new claims. The former Prime Minister claims in a new book that he was asked to give the Duke of Sussex a “manly pep talk” to convince him not to step back from his royal duties.

In the former PM’s upcoming memoir, he says he spoke to the Duke of Sussex for 20 minutes in a ‘kind of manly pep talk’ – but the prince still decided to move his family to North America
