Elizabeth Arden delights fans with cheeky response to *that* Prince Harry moment
Elizabeth Arden played a big – and very unexpected – role in one of Prince Harry’s most memorable moments in Spare


Elizabeth Arden has published a tweet that many fans think is a subtle joke following excerpts from Prince Harry’s Spare. In the book, Harry writes fondly about the smell of the famous Elizabeth Arden creams, describing how the scent transported him back to memories of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. However, Harry took the anecdote in an unusual direction as he describes where he was applying the cream – “down there”, on his frostbitten genitals.
- Elizabeth Arden have experienced the old adage that any press is good press after Prince Harry sent search for their creams soaring.
- In Spare, Harry wrote about rubbing the cream - an iconic beauty staple used by Princess Diana and the Queen – on his frostbitten penis.
- In other royal news, the surprising royal who was friends with Lisa Marie Presley shares heartfelt tribute.
Elizabeth Arden’s cream has been the name of everyone’s lips for days – for reasons some might find surprising.
In a particularly memorable moment from Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare, he reveals that he rubbed the eight-hour cream on his “todger” after contracting frostbite.
For reasons quite unclear, Harry doesn’t separate the thought of rubbing the Elizabeth Arden cream “down there” from the memory of his late mother, Princess Diana, using the cream on her lips.
