PRINCE Harry pulled out a thong made of ermine for Kate during his speech at her wedding to Prince William.
Harry – who claimed he was not his older brother’s best man – said an American man wrote to him about wanting to make something special for Catherine.

Harry write in Spare ‘The room let out a collective gasp. It was a thong’ – here alongside Kate Middleton and Prince William at their 2011 wedding
The man had “set out to catch 1,000 ermines” – but only caught two, which he turned into the thong with silk strings.
Harry writes in Spare: “Rough year for ermine, I said.
“Still, I added, the Yank improvised, made the best of things, as Yanks do, and cobbled together what he had, which I now held aloft.
“The room let out a collective gasp. It was a thong.
“Soft, furry, a few silken strings attached to a V-shaped ermine pouch no larger than the ring pouch inside my tunic.
“After the collective gasp came a warm, gratifying wave of laughter.”
He added: “When it died away I closed on a serious note.
“Mummy: How she’d have loved to have been here. How she’d have loved Kate, and how she’d have loved seeing this love you’ve found together.”
Harry says he “winged it” in the two-minute speech, used to introduce William’s two real best men at the 2011 wedding.
