Police waded into the 'Spare' row engulfing the Royal Family, and said Prince Harry should “stop slagging off” his brother Prince William and father King Charles.

The blunt comment was tweeted in response to the Duke of Sussex giving TV interviews to promote his bombshell book that was published globally on Tuesday.

BBC News published an article on Twitter quoting Prince Harry, who said: “I would like to get my father back, I would like to have my brother back.”

In response to the tweet, Bromsgrove Police’s safer neighbourhood team wrote: “Maybe stop slagging them off??”

The police's tweet - posted at 10.58am on January 3 - was quickly deleted. But by that time, it had already been seen and retweeted thousands of times.

Social media users remained split over the police tweet, with some saying officers should spend more time "catching criminals".

One said: “Fair play to police for saying exactly what everyone in Britain is thinking. Shut your gob Harold!”

Andy Howell said: “When the Bromsgrove Neighbourhood beat bobbies are sick of your whinging, you know you’ve gone too far Harry!”

Arthur Taylor wrote: “Harry should get back to being the dimwit we all knew and tolerated while police should get back to failing to investigate burglaries and muggings.”

Jess Knight added: “Maybe cops should spend more time catching criminals than trolling over-privileged poshos trying to flog a crap book?”

West Mercia Police said the tweet was sent “in error” and was “unprofessional”.

A force spokesperson said: “We’re aware of a tweet which was sent in error from a force account this morning.

“While this was unprofessional and is not what we expect from our officers, we are satisfied that this was a genuine mistake and no further action will be taken.”
