Penguin Random House has revealed the title and release date of Prince Harry’s ‘unflinching’ memoir.
When will Prince Harry’s book be released?
The memoir will be released in Australia on 11th January 2023 and will be a global release from Penguin Random House. It is available to preorder right now across a number of formats including physical book, eBook and audiobook.
Why is Prince Harry’s book called Spare?
The title of the memoir, Spare, is presumably referring to the oft-quoted saying ‘the heir and the spare’ which has been used mostly by the media when talking about the first-born son and heir to the English throne, Prince William, and the younger brother, or ‘spare’, Prince Harry.
The book is presumably set to discuss what the title of ‘spare’ means to Harry, and how being viewed as somewhat dispensable has impacted his life.
What is Spare about?
After marrying actress Meghan Markle and after the birth of their son Archie in 2019, the Duke of Sussex controversially gave up his title of Prince, cut ties with the Royal Family and relocated his family to the United States.
The book will cover Prince Harry’s life growing up in the spotlight and the tragic death of his mother, Princess Diana, as well as his time in the military and the hardships he and Meghan Markle endured throughout their relationship.
Given the scandals surrounding the Royal Family in recent years and after the recent death of Queen Elizabeth II, readers are already clamouring to read Harry’s honest account of life as a royal, and the difficulty he faced after leaving.
Spare will be a ‘landmark publication full of insight, revelation, self-examination’.
