Spare: by Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex

Spare is a book by Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex. It is presented as a candid, first-person account.

Synopsis

The book opens with one of the most widely seen images of the twentieth century: two young princes walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched. It returns to the questions that followed Diana, Princess of Wales, being laid to rest, and considers what the princes may have been thinking and feeling, and how life unfolded from that moment.

Written with what is described as raw, unflinching honesty, it is positioned as a landmark publication shaped by insight, revelation, self-examination and hard-won wisdom, with a focus on love and grief.
