Gary Lineker, 62, split his fans today after he described Prince Harry, 38, as a “decent lad”.The Match of the Day star took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the royal following the release of his explosive memoir, Spare, in view of his 8.6 million followers.This afternoon, Gary wrote: “As a Royal expert (I’ve watched The Crown), I think Harry seems like a decent lad.”A number of the sportstar’s followers joined in on the conversation, as some mocked the concept of a royal expert.Sooz Kempner commented: “To be a royal expert you simply have to declare yourself one, it's the BEST.

I'm one too!”“Exactly,” Gary replied, as Simon Harris added: “I had a Chicken Royale at Burger King once. I too am an expert.”While other followers weren’t too pleased with Gary’s tweet, with Graeme writing: “Harry that wants to protect his family by announcing he’s killed 25 of the Taliban and got himself in a massive spotlight and gained loads of media attention that he didn’t want… that Harry?” (sic) “Not really,” Vincent insisted. “Harry says he's been hung out to dry by the media, while using the media to air his own dirty laundry.”Another Twitter user reasoned: “He is, but he's said some pretty bad things which have put himself and his family at risk.”However, Romeo sided with Gary, writing: “He is a decent lad.

He is calling out his family for the crap he has had to go through.”“He seems like a normal bloke to me. Perhaps that's why some people are so angry.They thought royalty were gods,” Simon penned. “It’s taken guts to tell his side of the story we all know truth comes out in the end do hope it’s a happy ending for them all,” added Russ. (sic) Gary’s comments come after Prince Harry slammed the royals’ relationship with the press,.
