Prince Harry announces ‘spare’ paperback edition – will there be a new sensation in the royal family?

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

Harry’s book will be published in paperback in the US on October 22, Penguin Random House said on Tuesday.

The paperback edition is expected to arrive in the UK on October 24.

Although there were reports 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 that the contents of the paperback remain “unchanged” from the original version of the memoir.

“The new edition will have the same cover image as the hardcover edition, the package design will be new and there is no change in the contents of the book,” the publishing company said in its statement.

Harry’s book, due out in January 2023, will break the record for the fastest-selling nonfiction book in its first week of release. According to Guinness World Records, it sold 1.43 million copies on its first day of sales in the U.K., U.S. and Canada.

In the memoir, which also included several interviews, Harry revealed many secrets of the royal family, which damaged his relationship with his father, King Charles, and brother, Prince William.

He criticised the company over its treatment of his wife Meghan Markle, claiming she was only bred to be “spare parts” for William, 42.

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

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

During a press conference for “Spare”, Harry revealed that he has enough material to write more books about royal life, as he cut almost half of the first draft.

“The first draft was different. It was 800 pages and now it’s 400 pages. Put it this way, it could have been two books. And the hardest thing was taking things out,” he told the Telegraph last year.

The Duke said he made the change to the book out of fear it would cause an irreparable rift between William and Charles (75).

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

Last month, royal expert Kinsey Schofield suggested Harry would release his second memoir only after the death of his cancer-stricken father.

Another royal expert warned Harry against publishing another memoir because it would “ruin any hopes of future reconciliation” with his estranged family.

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

Since the release of “Spare,” there have been rumors that Markle, 43, wants to publish a tell-all memoir about her mental health struggles while living in the palace.

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