Prince Harry New Book: Memoir Titled Spare

The title of a new book from Prince Harry – which is said to feature ‘raw unflinching honesty’ – has been revealed.

The Duke of Sussex’s story, titled ‘Spare’, is expected to hit the shelves on January 10.

‘Spare’ appears to be a reference to the phrase ‘heir and a spare’ – perhaps touching on his attitude towards his place within the royal family, reports Sky News.

Details of Princess Diana’s funeral are said to be detailed in the book, with publishers, Penguin Random House, saying: “‘Spare’ takes readers immediately back to one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow-and horror.

“As Diana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest, billions wondered what the princes must be thinking and feeling and how their lives would play out from that point on.”

The memoir is advertised as ‘his story at last’, delving into Prince Harry’s ‘personal journey from trauma to healing’.

A description of the book reads: “With its raw, unflinching honesty, ‘Spare’ is a landmark publication full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.”

Prince Harry, 38, hopes some of the proceeds from the book will support charities, including Sentebale and WellChild.

Markus Dohle, Penguin Random House chief executive, said: “Penguin Random House is honoured to be publishing Prince Harry’s candid and emotionally powerful story for readers everywhere.

“He shares a remarkably moving personal journey from trauma to healing, one that speaks to the power of love and will inspire and encourage millions of people around the world.”
