Penguin Random House announced the memoir in July of 2021 on their social media. The publishing house described the Duke’s debut book as “an intimate and heartfelt memoir from one of the most fascinating and influential global figures of our time.”
News of Prince Harry’s memoir broke a year after he and Meghan Markle stepped down from their royal duties. The details of the memoir arrived shortly after the passing of the Duke’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September of this year.
Spare will give readers a glimpse into the Prince’s childhood when his mother, Princess Diana, passed away. According to the book’s synopsis, it reads, “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.”
Prince Harry plans on using the proceeds from his memoir to support British charities, such as Sentebale, which was founded in memory of his mother’s legacy. He will also donate to WellChild, a non-profit organization that aids children with the health services they need.
In a new post published by Penguin, the memoir is further described as “the remarkably personal and emotionally powerful story of Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex.”
The book was originally set to release later this year. However, Penguin confirmed the global release date as January 10, 2023. To stay updated with the news of Prince Harry’s memoir, readers can visit the memoir’s official website. Spare is available for pre-order now from all major booksellers.
