Prince Harry shocked readers in his new memoir "Spare" with more than 15 references to his male reproductive organ. 

In the bombshell memoir that is making headlines for its personal revelations about Royal family members, the Duke of Sussex made 8 references to his "penis," one to his "cock," 6 to his "todger," one to "down there," another to his "bespoke cock cushion" and even included a detailed description of his experience with "penile frostbite."

KING CHARLES, PRINCE WILLIAM, KATE MIDDLESTON MAKE FIRST PUBLIC APPEARANCES SINCE PRINCE HARRY'S ‘SPARE’ DEBUT

In April 2011, before Prince William's wedding to Kate Middleton, Harry embarked on a 13-day trek across the North Pole for the charity "Walking With the Wounded," which helps injured former servicemen and women transition from the military to civilian life. Upon returning home, Harry writes that he was "horrified to discover that my nether regions were frostnipped as well, and while the ears and cheeks were already healing, the todger wasn't." 

"My penis was oscillating between extremely sensitive, and borderline traumatized, the last place I wanted to be was Frostnipistan," he wrote. "I'd been trying some home remedies including one recommended by a friend. She urged me to apply Elizabeth Arden cream."

"‘My mum used that on her lips, you want me to put that on my todger?’" the autobiogrophy read. "‘It works Harry, trust me.’ I found a tube, and the minute I opened it, the smell transported me through time. I felt as if my mother was right there in the room and I took a smidge and applied it…down there."

PRINCE HARRY'S ‘SPARE' SINKS ROYAL'S POPULARITY; EXPERT SAYS ‘TIMING IS GHASTLY’

The story prompted a flurry of reactions online with users mocking him for sharing the experience in so much detail.

"‘Spare’ by Harry Windsor seems to be less a raw autobiography and more carefully cultivated exposé of bad decision making…including the choice to write it," Daily Wire Rome Correspondent Bree Dail wrote on Twitter in response to the passage. "No one needed to know this, Harry."

"I never thought I’d be talking about Prince Harry’s ‘frostnipped’ penis for a living, but here we are," Royal Reporter for GB News, Cameron Walker, tweeted. 

Harry took to a trip to Antarctica a few years later and explained the pains he took to avoid the same fate. 

Harry wrote a "very close mate," commissioned the help of a seamstress to create a "bespoke cock cushion" that he described as "square, supportive" and "sewn from pieces of the softest fleece, and — enough said." 

In the memoir, Harry also addressed rumors that he and his brother were uncircumcised. 

PRINCE HARRY TALKS KING CHARLES PATERNITY RUMORS IN NEW BOOK ‘SPARE’

"My penis was a matter of public record, and indeed some public curiosity," Harry wrote. "The press had written about it extensively. There were countless stories in books, and papers (even The New York Times) about Willy and me not being circumcised."

"Mummy had forbidden it, they all said, and while it’s absolutely true that the chance of getting penile frostbite is much greater if you’re not circumcised, all the stories were false," he added. "I was snipped as a baby."

There were other anecdotes in the book that raised eyebrows among readers.

In one passage, Harry details how he lost his virginity, which he described as an "an inglorious episode" with "an older woman" when he was around the age of 17. 

"She liked horses, quite a lot, and treated me not unlike a young stallion," Harry writes in the book. "Quick ride, after which she'd smacked my rump and sent me to graze. Among the many things about it that were wrong: It happened in a grassy field behind a busy pub."

Harry also detailed the steamy reunion he had with then-girlfriend Meghan Markle during the early days of their relationship on the anniversary of his mother, Princess Diana's, death. He said Meghan texted him that she had arrived in London while he was laying flowers on his mother's grave with his brother William.

He described waiting with "suspended breathing" outside Markle's room until she opened the door and "pulled me inside."

"I want to say we hung a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door," he added. "But I don't think there was time."

Ahead of the holidays, there was fear in certain medical circles that holiday gatherings among millions and millions of families across America would spark a dangerous surge in respiratory diseases.

Now, new U.S. government data suggests that was not the case.

On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that visits to doctors’ offices for flu-like illnesses fell for the sixth straight week.

CDC IDENTIFIES POSSIBLE ‘SAFETY CONCERN’ FOR CERTAIN PEOPLE RECEIVING COVID VACCINES

"Seasonal influenza activity continues but is declining in most areas," the CDC wrote on its website.

The CDC also said that reports of RSV, a common cause of cold-like symptoms that can be serious for infants and the elderly, are also down.

In the fall, when flu and RSV cases surged and caused overloads at pediatric emergency rooms, some doctors feared winter might bring a so-called tripledemic of flu, RSV and COVID-19. 

They were concerned that holiday gatherings might be the spark. But it apparently did not occur. 

"Right now, everything continues to decline," said the CDC’s Lynnette Brammer.

She leads the government agency’s tracking of flu in the United States, according to the Associated Press.

MOST ‘LONG COVID’ SYMPTOMS AFTER MILD CASE OF VIRUS RESOLVE IN ABOUT A YEAR: NEW STUDY

RSV hospitalizations have been going down since November — and flu hospitalizations are down, too.

That doesn't mean some people haven't gotten sick. 

Plenty of families reported that at least one or more of their members came down with something over the holidays after group get-togethers.

The situation is uneven across the country, the Associated Press reported — with some areas seeing more illnesses than others. 

But some doctors say patient traffic is easing.

"It has really eased up, considerably," Dr. Ethan Wiener, a pediatric ER doctor at the Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone in New York City, told the AP.

Dr. Jason Newland, a pediatric infectious disease physician at St. Louis Children’s Hospital in Missouri, also told the outlet that "it has slowed down, tremendously."

Newland said he wasn’t surprised that flu and RSV continued to trend down in recent weeks — but added, "The question is what was COVID going to do?"

COVID-19 hospitalizations rose through December, including during the week after Christmas, the CDC said.

COVID OMICRON SUBVARIANT XBB: WHY THE NUMBER OF CASES IS LIKELY FAR GREATER THAN REPORTED

One set of CDC data appears to show they started trending down after New Year’s, although an agency spokeswoman noted that another count indicates an uptick as of last week. 

Because of reporting lags, it may be a few weeks until CDC can be sure COVID-19 hospitalizations have really started dropping, Newland told the AP.

He also said there was an increase in COVID-19 traffic at St. Louis Children’s in December.

But he noted the situation was nothing like it was a year ago, when the then-new omicron variant was causing the largest national surge of COVID-19 hospitalizations since the pandemic began.

"That was the worst," he said.

This past week, Dr. Marc Siegel, a Fox News medical contributor, told Fox News Digital that the relatively new COVID-19 omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 "is the most easily transmissible subvariant so far."

He said that "it not only binds well to cells, but it is also the most immunoevasive." Siegel is a professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City.

The subvariant — nicknamed "Kraken" by some — is spreading across the globe, too. 

Maria Van Kerkhove, Ph.D, technical lead of the World Health Organization, said XBB.1.5 is "the most transmissible subvariant that has been detected yet," WebMD reported.

Though this subvariant continues to spread at a faster pace than other versions of COVID-19 did, the CDC recently revised downward its estimate of how much XBB.1.5 is circulating in the U.S.

The fall RSV and flu surge was felt most acutely at health care centers for children. 

Wiener said the pediatric emergency department traffic at Hassenfeld was 50% above normal levels in October, November and December — "the highest volumes ever" for that time of year, he said, according to the AP.

The RSV and flu surges likely faded because so many members of the vulnerable population were infected "and it just kind of burnt itself out," he said.

It makes sense that respiratory infections could rebound amid holiday travel and gatherings — and it’s not exactly clear why that didn’t happen, Brammer said.

With all that said, flu season isn’t over, the AP pointed out.

Thirty-six states are still reporting high or very high levels of flu activity, it noted.

It’s always possible that a second wave of illnesses remains up ahead, experts said.

The CDC continues to recommend that everyone "six months and older" get the flu vaccine.

"An annual flu vaccine is the best way to protect against flu. Vaccination helps prevent infection and can also prevent serious outcomes in people who get vaccinated but still get sick with flu," the CDC says on its website.
