After months of suspense, the release date of Prince Harry’s autobiography has finally been revealed. As the Penguin Random House publishing house reports, Spare, the title of the book, will release on January 10, 2023 in 16 languages. The title refers to the British expression “the heir and the spare” (the heir to the throne and the successor). According to a press release, the book “will offer readers a leap in time by revealing to readers the backstage of one of the most striking images of the 20th century: that of two little boys walking behind their mother’s coffin, the Princess of Wales Lady Diana. At that time, millions of people witnessed the sad fate of Lady Di’s sons, wondering how they felt and how their lives would unfold. With this book, Harry delivers his version of the facts.”
In the past year, beginning summer 2021, the Duke of Sussex signed the publishing contract. According to its publishers, the book takes the form of “literary memoirs tracing the life of Harry, from his childhood to today.” “It looks back on his sense of public service, on his two missions in Afghanistan, as well as on the joy of being married and the father of two children.” Prince Harry, specifies having written the memoir by emphasizing his “evolution as a man,” and not on his status as a royal. “I have multiplied the caps throughout my life. With this book, I hope to be able to report on my story, the ups and downs, my mistakes, the lessons I learned from it…” he explains. “I want to show that we are all linked and that we have things in common, no matter where we come from. I am extremely grateful to be able to share all the things I have learned in this book. I can’t wait for people to read this story. He is faithful. It’s all true.”
Even though Prince Harry’s decision to publish this book is controversial, it’s not random. In the early 1990s, his mother, Princess Diana, collaborated with Andrew Morton on a biography (Diana Told by Herself). Although very few, others in the Royal Family have also written biographies and books. This includes his wife, Meghan Markle’s children’s tale, The Bench, which was released last year. The children’s book is obviously less controversial than her husband’s memoir and the future Netflix documentary series produced by the couple. The streaming platform reportedly postponed the project following criticisms addressed to The Crown.
