The paperback edition of Prince Harry’s memoir Spare is now on sale in the UK, threatening to bring up bombshell claims and allegations the Duke of Sussex aimed at the Royal Family.
The 416-page tell-all book was first released in January 2023 and quickly became an international bestseller, with Harry sharing his life story for the first time in such “raw unflinching honesty”.
The memoir, ghost-written by Pulitzer Prize winner J R Moehringer, detailed Harry’s journey from “trauma to healing”.
It takes readers back to Princess Diana’s funeral in 1997 up until his decision to step back from the Firm in 2020, sharing revelations and insight into his career and life in the Royal Family.

Spare was originally published on January 10, 2023, and sold more than six million copies in all formats internationally. It also notably became the fastest-selling nonfiction book of all time.
Speaking in the days after its release, Shannon DeVito, director of books at Barnes & Noble, said: “We sold books in every location — and we sold a lot of them.
“Some people came in right before work, some people came in on their lunch break, some people came in after. But the velocity of sales throughout the day was gigantic.”
Harry said before his book was released: “I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become.
“I’ve worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story — the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned — I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think.”
