Hot on the heels of Prince Harry's new memoir, 'Spare,' Wayback Burgers has just launched a cheeky new offering dubbed 'The Royal Silencer.'

For those unfamiliar, Prince Harry's highly anticipated new memoir details some of the British Royal Family's biggest secrets. As Patrick Conlin, President of Wayback Burgers explains, "Like millions of people around the globe, we’ve been watching the royal drama unfold and wanted to create a burger that encourages everyone to use their mouths as intended. More than just an incredible burger, we designed The Royal Silencer to fill mouths to capacity with every bite to discourage spilling sensitive family drama to the media and general public."

And if you're wondering what combination may be good enough to stem the gossip, [Wayback Burgers'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wayback-burgers2) The Royal Silencer features three beef patties (one of the patties is a spare just like the Prince himself), American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, ketchup, and mustard.
