Prince Harry’s ‘Spare’ getting paperback edition with surprising decision



Prince Harry is finally releasing the paperback version of his memoir “Spare.”

Penguin Random House said Tuesday that Harry’s book will be published in paperback in the US Oct. 22.

In the UK, the paperback version is expected to come out Oct. 24.

Despite reports saying that the Duke of Sussex, 39, was looking for “more sensational material” to include in the new format of his book, Penguin Random House confirmed the contents of the paperback “are unchanged” from the memoir’s original version.

“The new edition will have the same cover image as the hardcover edition, a newly designed package and the contents of the book are unchanged,” the publishing company said in its statement.

Harry’s tell-all book that came out in January 2023 shattered the record for the fastest-selling nonfiction book of all time in the first week of its release. It sold a whopping 1.43 million copies during its first day on sale in the UK, US and Canada, according to Guinness World Records.

In the memoir, which was accompanied by a string of onscreen interviews, Harry aired out many of the royal family’s secrets, destroying his relationships with his dad, King Charles, and his brother, Prince William.

He slammed the Firm over its treatment of his wife, Meghan Markle, and claimed he was only bred for “spare parts” for William, 42.

Harry described his older brother as a bully and accused the future king of physically attacking him and pointing his finger in Markle’s face.

The book also claimed that Harry and William’s stepmother, Queen Camilla, leaked stories about the royal family to the media to maintain her image and boost her popularity.

While doing press for “Spare,” Harry revealed he has enough content to write even more books about his life as a royal, as he cut out nearly half of the first draft.

“The first draft was different,” he told the Telegraph last year. “It was 800 pages, and now it’s down to 400 pages. It could have been two books, put it that way. And the hard bit was taking things out.”

The duke explained that he made changes to the book out of fear he’d cause an unrepairable rift with William and Charles, 75.

“There are some things that have happened, especially between me and my brother, and to some extent between me and my father, that I just don’t want the world to know,” said Harry. “Because I don’t think they would ever forgive me.”

Last month, royal expert Kinsey Schofield suggested Harry is waiting to release his second memoir until after the death of his cancer-stricken father.

Another royal expert warned Harry against publishing another memoir as it would “slam any hope of future reconciliation” with his estranged family.

Still, the things Harry said in his book, as well as in his and his wife’s 2022 Netflix docuseries, “Harry & Meghan,” did enough damage to his relationships with his loved ones.

Since the release of “Spare,” there have been rumors that Markle, 43, wants to publish her own tell-all memoir about the mental health struggles she endured during her time in the palace.

The Sussexes signed a lucrative four-book deal with Penguin Random House in 2021.
