"This is his story": Details on Prince Harry's memoir released
The details of Prince Harry's highly anticipated memoir have been announced, with his publisher finally releasing the name of the book and when it will be published.
The news of the memoir has been an object of obsession for royal fans since it was first announced last year, with eager readers not having to wait much longer.
The memoir, titled Spare, will be published on January 10th 2023: three years to the date that Harry and Meghan took a step back from the royal family.
Spare is being billed by Penguin Random House, as an account told with “raw, unflinching honesty” and filled with “insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.”
In a statement released on Thursday, Penguin Random House announced the details of the book as they summoned memories of the death of Princess Diana in 1997 as Harry and his brother, William, “walked behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow - and horror.”
“As Diana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest, billions wondered what the princes must be thinking and feeling - and how their lives would play out from that point on,” the statement reads in part.
“For Harry, this is his story at last.”
The memoir's title is a nod to William and Harry’s roles as ‘heir and the spare’, with William as heir to the throne, and Prince Harry as his spare.
The 416-page book will come out in 16 languages, from Dutch to Portuguese, and also will be released in an audio edition read by Prince Harry.
The hardback copies of Spare will be retailing for $50, with Harry has previously confirming he will be donating proceeds from the sales of Spare to various British charities.
