Prince Harry’s book Spare will hit the book stores on January 10 and it is highly anticipated among many. The book is said to be a no holds barred account of his life.
Publisher Penguin Random House promises that the publication will contain, “raw, unflinching honesty… insight, revelation, self examination and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.”

The book is written by ghostwriter and former journalist turned novelist JR Moeringer. He also wrote Andre Agassi’s autobiography titled Open and has won a Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing.
The book is said to be particularly harsh towards Prince William in particular and is supposedly less scathing towards King Charles according to one source.
“Generally I think the book [will be] worse for them than the royal family is expecting. Everything is laid bare. Charles comes out of it better than I had expected, but it’s tough on William, in particular, and even Kate gets a bit of a broadside.
“There are these minute details, and a description of the fight between the brothers. I personally can’t see how Harry and William will be able to reconcile after this,” said the source on the upcoming book by JR Moeringer.
In an interview with Sky News englishman Andrew Crofts who has ghostwritten more than 80 novels said that selecting someone who wasn’t British to write the book was actually a good idea.
“It’s quite good to have an American ghosting (by JR Moeringer) this book because they’re coming to it with less background knowledge. So they’re actually going to be asking questions that I would probably, as an Englishman, might not bother to ask because it’s taken as red. So if you’re appealing to a global market, just as Harry is, it’s good to have somebody who is slightly outside.”
While the Royal Family are worried about the drama that will ensue, Prince Harry has reportedly been paid around £30 million for a four-book deal.
The memoir is expected to be on the best-seller list. In pre-sales it is currently already number one in Amazon’s Hot New Releases in Books.
On a more positive note, the Duke of Sussex is not just thinking of profits but will also be donating £1.2m of the proceeds towards his Sentebale charity which supports vulnerable children and young people in Lesotho and Botswana who are affected by HIV/AIDS as well as £300,000 to WellChild which he was a royal patron of for 15 years.
