John Lennon’s son Sean faces SERIOUS THREATS after breaking the Internet for calling Prince Harry an IDIOT and ‘DESERVES TO BE MOCKED’
John Lennon’s son, Sean Ono Lennon, recently made headlines with his candid review of Prince Harry’s memoir, “Spare.” The musician didn’t hold back, summing up his thoughts in just two words: “Spare Me.” But this straightforward critique sparked a flurry of reactions and even death threats directed at Sean.
The Review
Sean Ono Lennon took to social media to share his “long-awaited” review of Prince Harry’s autobiography. In a cheeky jab, he dismissed the memoir with the succinct phrase, “Spare Me.” The Duke of Sussex’s book, which hit the stands in early 2023, apparently didn’t impress Lennon.
The Backlash
Predictably, Sean faced backlash for his candid remarks. However, he stood his ground, even when confronted with death threats. He justified his criticism by calling Prince Harry an “idiot” and suggesting that both of them deserved to be mocked. Sean’s unfiltered honesty didn’t sit well with everyone, but he remained steadfast.
Shared Experiences
Interestingly, both Sean Ono Lennon and Prince Harry share common experiences. They are both children of incredibly famous parents who died tragically. Sean lost his father, John Lennon, when he was just 5 years old, while Prince Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, died in a car crash when he was 12. Despite this empathy, Sean didn’t mince words when it came to the memoir.
John Lennon‘s son Sean Ono Lennon has gone on an online rant against Prince Harry, calling him an ‘idiot’ who deserves to be mocked.
Sean, 48, sparked fury among the royal’s fans when he posted a joke about his book Spare, writing: ‘My long awaited review of Prince Harry’s autobiography is two words. “Spare Me.”‘
While the musician insisted he was just making a pun out of the book’s title, he doubled down on his criticism of Harry as he was slammed on X, formerly known as Twitter.
As people pointed out that Sean and Harry have a lot in common, including the fact that both tragically lost famous parents at a young age, Sean recalled meeting princess Diana‘s younger son.
Sean replied: ‘Actually I am aware [that we have things in common]. We met once. That was before I realized he was an idiot.’

Sean seemed to particularly be offended by Harry sharing in his book that he treated his frostbitten penis – which he called his ‘todger’ – with his late mother’s favorite lip cream
The Oscar-winner seemed to particularly be offended by Harry sharing in his book that he treated his frostbitten penis – which he called his ‘todger’ – with his late mother’s favorite lip cream.
‘It was a pun,’ Sean said of his initially post. ‘But he deserves to be mocked after that todger episode. He’ll be fine.’
As social media users continued supporting Harry, mentioning the tragedies he has been through, Sean stood by his decision to mock the royal.
Sean said of Harry’s past: ‘That is very sad. I don’t hold any of that against him.
‘It’s the stupidity that bothers me.’
He added: ‘Just because I made a joke does not mean I don’t empathize with him. I do actually.

‘Also why I’m very disappointed with his outlook. I was hoping he’d be smarter.’
In another reply, Sean said: ‘I do empathize with him generally. But the way he whines and wangs on about things is really too much.
‘I’m just having a little fun. I think he’s earned some mockery. (I’m sure I have as well).’
Sean also replied to a Harry fan who defended him by suggesting that Sean was jealous of the Prince being a best-selling author
‘I mean, I don’t care but I did win an Oscar this year so…I think I’m doing okay,’ he said.
The artist seemed to have a good attitude about the backlash from Harry’s fans, concluding: ‘People are coming after me because I made a joke about the title of Harry’s book.
‘It’s pretty great.’

The 39-year-old royal’s headline-grabbing book saw him accuse his brother Prince William of pushing him into a dog bowl in a row over his wife Meghan Markle.
It also claimed William teased Harry about his panic attacks, that King Charles put his own interests above his second son and saw Harry reference taking cocaine, marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms and his enjoyment of the TV show Friends.
Harry used the tell-all book to make various claims about his family including that William called Meghan ‘difficult’, ‘rude’ and ‘abrasive’, and that Charles refused to allow Meghan to join Harry in Scotland as the late Queen was dying.
