Prince Harry's new memoir's publishing date has finally been announced. After the publisher rejected the initial copy, there are mounting concerns that the book has been "gussied up". The book, titled 'Spare', was originally scheduled to be released this fall, but as a gesture of respect in the wake of the Queen Elizabeth II's demise, the release date was postponed until January 10.
Harry has pledged that it will be a genuine and entirely factual account of his life. The news of the book is said to have sparked a wave of panic among royals. The 416-page book, which JR Moehringer ghost-wrote, is a part of a £35 million book deal that will pay the Duke of Sussex £17.5 million before the book's release.
It is said that Harry was forced to make changes when publisher Penguin Random House rejected the original submission, raising questions at Buckingham Palace. The Duke of Sussex and his family's already tense relationship worsened after Harry and Meghan Markle's controversial appearance with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, amid accusations that one of the royals inquired about the skin tone of baby Archie.
