Harry: “Once the book came out I felt incredibly free. I felt a huge weight off my shoulders. But the system which I guess I am part of doesn’t permit free living.”

Our family car was stolen at 11pm last night. So brazen - they drove up, got in, photographed it and drove off within three minutes. Sure they’ll find a good home for the three child seats and buggy 🙄. Now how do you go about getting a new car in lockdown???!
