Prince Harry’s Upcoming Memoir Revealed: “Spare” Promises Raw Honesty

The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, has unveiled the title of his highly anticipated memoir set to be released in January 2023.

Titled “Spare,” the book aims to offer a candid and unfiltered account of his life.

Penguin Random House, the publisher, has described it as a work filled with raw, unflinching honesty.

During a segment on the Today show, hosts Karl Stefanovic and Alison Langdon couldn't help but chuckle at the title of Prince Harry's memoir.

The choice of “Spare” references the traditional notion of an heir and a spare, often used to describe royal siblings.

In the past, Prince Harry was considered the “spare” while his older brother, Prince William, was seen as the “heir.”

However, this distinction has become less relevant since Harry and his wife, Meghan, stepped down from their frontline royal duties and relocated to California.

While discussing the memoir with Russell Myers, the royal editor of the Daily Mirror, Stefanovic struggled to contain his laughter when mentioning the title.

Langdon dryly commented that the book's name seemed to speak for itself.

Myers agreed, suggesting that the title didn't bode well for the royal family.

He even joked that perhaps it should have been called “Despair.”

Myers predicted that Prince Harry's upcoming book would undoubtedly send shockwaves across the world upon its release next year.

Angela Levin, a royal commentator, journalist, and biographer, took to Twitter to express her thoughts on the book's title.

In a thinly veiled critique aimed at Prince Harry, she described it as “desperately sad” and questioned whether he still saw himself as the “spare.”

Levin also implied that despite therapy, a loving wife, and newfound freedom, Prince Harry harbored resentment and sought revenge, which she believed was evident in the expression on his face on the book's cover.

In a press release, Penguin Random House stated that “Spare” would transport readers back to one of the most poignant moments of the 20th century—the sight of two young princes walking behind their mother's coffin during Princess Diana's funeral.

The publisher emphasized that the book would provide insight, self-reflection, and hard-won wisdom about the enduring power of love over grief.

Royal sources have expressed astonishment upon learning the title of Prince Harry's memoir.

They view it as yet another provocative attack on the royal family, especially considering his previous claims of desiring privacy.

While it remains uncertain whether Prince Harry himself chose the title or if it was decided by the publishing company, insiders believe that the book may further strain the already tense relationship between the Duke and his family.

Palace lawyers are reportedly prepared for any potential fallout from the memoir's contents, which are expected to be explosive given the title.

Despite the anticipation, it seems unlikely that this book will serve as a catalyst for reconciliation between Prince Harry and Meghan and the rest of the royal family.

As Prince Harry's memoir, “Spare,” prepares for its release, readers eagerly await the opportunity to delve into the intimate details of his life.

With its promise of unfiltered honesty, this landmark publication is sure to captivate audiences worldwide and spark conversations about love, loss, and the complexities of royal life.
