Prince Harry’s bombshell memoir will be called Spare, his publisher has revealed.
It will tell the Duke of Sussex’s “story at last” and will be released on January 10, three years to the day Meghan and Harry leave the royal family.
The title is a nod to William and Harry’s roles as “heir and spare”, with William as the heir to the throne and Prince Harry as the spare.
The publisher’s description 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 pain.
“SPARE immediately transports readers 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 pain and horror.
“When Diana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest, billions wondered what the princes must be thinking and feeling and how their lives would go from that moment on.”
Harry, who has already received half of a £35 million ($62 million) payment for his book, will read the audiobook version himself, with all proceeds going to his charity Sentebale.
The organization supports vulnerable children and youth in Lesotho and Botswana affected by HIV and AIDS.
The 416-page book will cost $50 for a hardcover, but the e-book will be cheaper.
Publication of the bombshell memoir was delayed by the Queen’s death, but will hit shelves months before King Charles’ coronation.
The contents of the book are still unknown, but they could put more strain on the relationship between Harry and his father and brother.
