Prince Harry recently shared that Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream, a popular skin protectant, once helped him with a frostbite injury. The skincare product’s demand reportedly skyrocketed following the revelation.
The royal made the candid confession in his newly released memoir, Spare, which hit bookshelves earlier this week. He revealed that he suffered from bad frostbite during a charity trip to the North Pole back in 2011—right before Prince William’s wedding to Kate Middleton.
The Duke of Sussex recalled discussing his frostbite injuries with his father the night before Prince William’s wedding
“I regaled the company with tales of the [North] Pole. Pa was very interested and sympathetic about the discomfort of my frostnipped ears and cheeks, and it was an effort not to overshare and tell him also about my equally tender p*nis.”
Prince Harry said that he was horrified to discover that he was frostnipped “down there” alongside his cheeks and ears:
“Upon arriving home I’d been horrified to discover that my nether regions were frostnipped as well, and while the ears and cheeks were already healing, the t*dger wasn’t.”
The royal further elaborated on his frostbite injury and wrote:
“My p*nis was oscillating between extremely sensitive and borderline traumatized.”
Shortly after, a friend reportedly suggested he use the Elizabeth Arden ointment as an immediate remedy. The suggestion made Prince Harry remember that his mother, Princess Diana also used the product on her lips.
The Duke of Sussex also asked his friend:
“My mum used that on her lips. You want me to put that on my t*dger?”
In response, his pal said that the product works on frostbite. The royal also remembered that the smell of the cream transported him through time while he applied the product to the affected area:
“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.”
While Prince Harry’s experience left social media users shocked, Elizabeth Arden shared a cheeky tweet promoting the brand’s Hyaluronic Acid and saying that it is “extremely helpful” for cold weather.

According to its official website, the product results in “instant and overwhelming success” and continues to maintain its legacy even today.
