Prince Harry’s eagerly anticipated autobiography has finally been given a publication date – and it promises to be a “raw” read. The Duke of Sussex’s memoir, Spare, comes out on January 10 next year and his publisher Penguin Random House describes it as full of “insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief”.
The title bluntly alludes to the fact that Harry was the “spare” to his brother William, the heir, and his story will, it’s promised, be told with “unflinching honesty” and will be “an honest and captivating personal portrait”.
Harry, 38, said, “I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become. I’ve worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story – the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned – I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think.
“I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to share what I’ve learned over the course of my life and excited for people to read a first-hand account of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful.”
But the words “raw” and “unflinching honesty” are likely to strike fear into the heart of the monarchy – particularly his father, King Charles. Just 24 hours after the release date of Harry’s book was confirmed, the King appeared to fire a retaliatory shot by announcing he is taking on the role of Captain General of the Royal Marines – a cherished position that was stripped from Harry after he and his wife Meghan, 41, stepped down as senior royals.
