Prince Harry reveals name of his explosive £17m memoir as he tells his story 'at last’ with ‘raw & unflinching honesty’ | The Sun

PRINCE Harry's bombshell memoir will be called Spare, his publisher has today revealed.

It will tell the Duke of Sussex's "story at last" and will be released on January 10.


The title likely refers to "the heir and the spare", a saying used to describe Harry and his brother and future King, William.

Harry – who has already received half of a £35million payout for his book – will read the audiobook version himself.

The duke has so far donated around £1.2m of the book's proceeds to his charity Sentebale which supports children and young people affected by HIV and AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana.

He has also donated £300k to children's non-profit WellChild which helps kids with complex health needs to be cared for at home.

The publication date of January 9 is one day after Princess Kate's birthday.

Publisher Penguin Random House'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 grief.

"Spare takes readers immediately back to one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking 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 memoir will be available in English in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa and Canada.

The book will also be published in translation in 15 additional languages, including Spanish, Italian, German and Chinese.

It comes after The Duke of Sussex delayed publishing the bombshell tome after the Queen's death.

And it was thought the publication could be held off until after the King's coronation in May.

But last night, industry executives told The New York Times that the book will be published on January 10.
