The Duke of Sussex’s book is rumoured to have been delayed out of respect for the Queen
The title and release date for the Duke of Sussex’s highly anticipated memoir has been confirmed by its publisher. Prince Harry’s book – titled Spare in reference to the phrase the “the heir and the spare” – will be released globally on January 10.
It is likely Buckingham Palace will still be preparing for revelations that could be detrimental to the monarchy and the duke’s father King Charles. The memoir will be published by Penguin Random House, which said in a press release: “Spare takes readers immediately back to one of the most searing images of the 20th century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow – and horror.
A spokesman for the King declined to comment. The royal family could be faced with damaging newspaper headlines if Harry chooses to delve into the most controversial elements of royal life from the past decades.
