Prince Harry’s Autobiography Acknowledgements: A List of Thanks and Omissions

In his highly anticipated autobiography, titled Spare, Prince Harry expresses his gratitude towards numerous individuals who have played a significant role in his life.

The Duke of Sussex humbly acknowledges the support of his friends in the UK, colleagues who helped jog his memory, publishing and audio teams, medical experts, coaches, and of course, the readers.

However, he noticeably omits any mention of the royal family, including close acquaintances like Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank.

Surprisingly, he does extend his appreciation to Princess Diana's siblings, as well as his mother-in-law Doria and his children Archie and Lilibet.

Among the list of notable figures, Prince Harry pays tribute to his celebrity pals, including Coldplay singer Chris Martin, chat show host Oprah Winfrey, Gavin and Stacey star James Corden, American actor Tyler Perry, and Argentinian actor Nacho Figueras and his wife Delfina Blackwear.

These individuals have provided unwavering friendship and support throughout his journey.

However, there are several famous faces missing from this roster, such as David Foster, who has been considered a second father to Prince Harry.

David Foster, a renowned music producer, has played a pivotal role in Prince Harry's life, serving as a father figure.

Despite being a year younger than Prince Charles, David has been a guiding presence for the Duke of Sussex.

He even assisted the Sussexes in finding a home in Canada before their eventual move to California.

Interestingly, David's wife, musician Catherine McPhee, had previously performed alongside Meghan Markle in school productions.

Although they were not particularly close at the time, Catherine and David developed a friendship with Harry and Meghan after performing together in Waitress the Musical in London.

Catherine has spoken fondly of the bond between her husband and Prince Harry, describing it as a “really, really beautiful relationship” akin to that of a father and son.

However, recent rumors suggest that Harry and Meghan may have had a falling out with David Foster.

Speculation suggests that Meghan leaked information about a dinner outing, followed by an attempt to upstage Catherine by wearing a coat intended to spark pregnancy rumors.

Allegedly, Meghan even tried to join Catherine and their children for a paid paparazzi walk, but was denied by David and Catherine.

The strained relationship between the couples is further evidenced by Harry's text message to David, suggesting that David's son should end up with Harry's daughter.

Additionally, Harry and Meghan were absent from David and Catherine's wedding in London, leading both David and Catherine to regret their association with the Sussexes.

Another point of contention arose when Meghan reportedly flirted with David Foster, causing Catherine to intervene and request that Meghan cease her advances.

Harry, upon hearing these claims, dismissed them as fabrications, attributing them to jealousy and defending his wife's attractiveness.

As Prince Harry's autobiography continues to generate buzz and anticipation, the acknowledgements section provides insight into the relationships he values and those that have become strained.

The absence of royal family members and the inclusion of celebrity friends highlight the complexities of his personal journey.

It remains to be seen how these dynamics will further unfold in the public eye.
