Prince Harry’s ‘Spare’ Memoir to Be Released in Paperback Without a Bonus Chapter

Prince Harry Will Not Write Spare Bonus Chapter for Paperback

Prince Harry ’s record-breaking memoir, Spare, will receive a new release as a paperback edition this fall.

Penguin Random House confirmed on Tuesday, August 27, that the Duke of Sussex’s best-selling book will be republished on October 22 in the United States.

While paperback editions of books tend to feature new chapters or additional information, Penguin Random House confirmed that “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.”

Spare was originally published on January 10, 2023, and sold more than 6 million copies, in all formats, across the world. Spare also holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest-selling nonfiction book of all time.

Harry’s memoir was divided into three parts and looked back at his royal childhood in the spotlight, including the 1997 death of his mother, Princess Diana . The book also put the spotlight on his career in the British Army and his courtship with Meghan Markle .

Harry, 39, and Markle, 43, married in May 2018 at St George’s Chapel. They later welcomed kids Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3.

“I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become,” Harry said before his book was released. “I’ve worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story — the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned — I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think.”

Prince Harry British Royals Who Wrote Memoirs

Related: Prince Harry and More Royals Who Have Written Memoirs

Ultimately, Harry’s book made waves within the royal family thanks to some bombshell claims , including an alleged assault launched at Harry by Prince William during a 2019 argument over Markle. (Buckingham Palace has not issued any statements regarding Harry’s book.)

Despite the headlines, Harry maintained that his book was not made to make certain individuals look bad. Instead, he was hoping to speak his truth and provide a rare glimpse into his reality.

“While I know much of my life may seem unrelatable, I do think most siblings can relate to struggling with comparisons, and my brother and I are no exception,” he told People in January 2023. “I don’t want to tell anyone what to think of it and that includes my family. This book and its truths are in many ways a continuation of my own mental health journey. It’s a raw account of my life — the good, the bad and everything in between.”

Paperback Edition of ‘Spare’ Coming This Fall

BY Michael Schaub • Aug. 27, 2024

Share via Facebook

Prince Harry’s Spare  will be released in paperback this fall, Random House announced in a news release .

Harry’s memoir, published in January of 2023, is the U.K. royal’s account of his life growing up as the son of King Charles III and the late Diana, Princess of Wales, who died in a car crash in 1997.

spare book review amazon

The memoir is said to have strained the already tense relationship between Harry and his older brother, Prince William. In the book, Harry claims that his brother physically attacked him during an argument over Harry’s wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, better known in the U.S. as actor Meghan Markle.

Random House says, “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.”

As People magazine’s Janine Henni notes , “The decision not to include anything new is widely being viewed as a step towards reconciliation with the royal family.”

The paperback edition of Spare is scheduled for publication on Oct. 22.

Michael Schaub is a contributing writer.

Purchase options and add-ons

It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother's coffin as the world watched in sorrow-and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling-and how their lives would play out from that point on. For Harry, this is that story at last. Before losing his mother, twelve-year-old Prince Harry was known as the carefree one, the happy-go-lucky Spare to the more serious Heir. Grief changed everything. He struggled at school, struggled with anger, with loneliness-and, because he blamed the press for his mother's death, he struggled to accept life in the spotlight. At twenty-one, he joined the British Army. The discipline gave him structure, and two combat tours made him a hero at home. But he soon felt more lost than ever, suffering from post-traumatic stress and prone to crippling panic attacks. Above all, he couldn't find true love. Then he met Meghan. The world was swept away by the couple's cinematic romance and rejoiced in their fairy-tale wedding. But from the beginning, Harry and Meghan were preyed upon by the press, subjected to waves of abuse, racism, and lies. Watching his wife suffer, their safety and mental health at risk, Harry saw no other way to prevent the tragedy of history repeating itself but to flee his mother country. Over the centuries, leaving the Royal Family was an act few had dared. The last to try, in fact, had been his mother. . . . For the first time, Prince Harry tells his own story, chronicling his journey with raw, unflinching honesty. A landmark publication, Spare is full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.

Prince Harry Learns to Cry, and Takes No Prisoners, in ‘Spare’

At once emotional and embittered, the royal memoir is mired in a paradox: drawing endless attention in an effort to renounce fame.

A close-up of a somber Prince Harry in profile, with his brother Prince William, in blurred focus, next to him.

By Alexandra Jacobs

SPARE, by Prince Harry

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex and Man About Montecito, isn’t one for book learning, he reminds readers of his new memoir, “Spare.” And yet its pages are dappled with literary references, from John Steinbeck (“He kept it tight,” the prince writes admiringly of “Of Mice and Men”); to William Faulkner, whose line from “Requiem for a Nun” about the past never being dead, nor even past, he discovers on BrainyQuote.com; to Wordsworth and other poets. Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” though, hit a little too close to home. “Lonely prince, obsessed with dead parent, watches remaining parent fall in love with dead parent’s usurper…?” Harry writes. “No, thank you.”

He prefers to sink into TV comedies like “Family Guy,” where he admires Stewie, the unnervingly mature baby, and “Friends,” where he identifies with the tortured Chandler Bing. Reading “Spare,” though, one kind of wants to snatch the remote control from his hands and press into them a copy of Joseph Heller’s “Catch-22.” Not because of Harry’s military endeavors (unlike Yossarian, he seems to have felt sane only in active combat) but because of the seemingly inescapable paradox of his situation.

In the prince’s full-throated renunciation of fame and royalty with all its punishing invasions of privacy, he has only become more famous, if not more regal, trading his proximity to the throne for the No. 1 spot on cushioned chairs opposite Oprah and Anderson Cooper . With “Harry & Meghan,” the gauzy Netflix series preceding this book, he and the Duchess now might well be overexposed . (Maybe this is part of the grand plan, to drive away inquiring minds by boring them to bits?)

My interest in the English royal family tends to dwindle after the era of previous renouncers like Edward and Wallis and the dynamically dysfunctional Princess Margaret, who “could kill a houseplant with one scowl,” Harry writes. They weren’t close; Margaret once gave him a cheap pen wrapped with a rubber fish for Christmas. I devoured early episodes of “ The Crown ” but Season 5, with its focus on Charles and Diana’s marital troubles, left me delicately yawning.

Still, I expected to enjoy “Spare,” given that it was written with the help of the talented author J.R. Moehringer, whose own memoir, “ The Tender Bar, ” I adored before it was even a glimmer in Ben Affleck’s eye , and who helped the tennis star Andre Agassi’s autobiography, “Open,” transcend the locker room. And I did. In parts.

Bath & body works fragrance dupes for all your favorite..., revel in the royal drama of prince harry’s ‘spare,’ available now.

Prince Harry's "Spare" memoir cover repeated three times

Prince Harry’s much-anticipated new memoir, “Spare” is finally here, and with it, all of the drama you would expect from a tell-all penned by the media-savviest royal out there.

If you’re anything like us, you haven’t been able to pry yourself away from the stories slowly trickling out over the past few weeks from advanced readers. First, we learned why the book is titled “Spare,” a reference to an alleged comment by King Charles , that Diana had given him an “heir” (William) and a “spare” (Harry).

We’ve read leaked excerpts of Harry losing his virginity , his “frostbitten penis” at his brother’s wedding, his admission of cocaine use as a teenager, his kill-count in Afghanistan, and his ongoing (and sometimes physical) feud with his older brother, William.

The press tour has made a lot of people angry (namely, just about everyone else in the royal family, save for Meghan Markle), and, perhaps not coincidentally, sent pre-orders through the roof. Today, “Spare” is officially released on bookshelves, and electronic bookshelve s, everywhere.

If you just can’t wait for your Amazon copy to arrive, or would prefer to hear it straight from the man himself, you can also snag the Harry-narrated audiobook of “Spare” on Audible now, available for just $5.95 a month for the first four months, for a limited time only .

“Spare,” by Prince Harry in Hardcover , $22, list price: $36

Cover of Prince Harry's memoir, "Spare."

If you’d prefer a physical copy, the hardcover edition of “Spare” is available now for just $22 on Amazon, a full $14 off list price. If you want (or need) to get your hands on “Spare” immediately , the Kindle version is also available for just $18. All this royal drama all at once is rare. Pick up “Spare” today, and get in on all the family’s secrets.

Prince Harry’s book has totally changed my mind about him… and the Royal Family

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - SEPTEMBER 14: (EMBARGOED FOR PUBLICATION IN UK NEWSPAPERS UNTIL 24 HOURS AFTER CREATE DATE AND TIME) Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex walks behind Queen Elizabeth II's coffin as it is transported on a gun carriage from Buckingham Palace to The Palace of Westminster ahead of her Lying-in-State on September 14, 2022 in London, United Kingdom. Queen Elizabeth II's coffin is taken in procession on a Gun Carriage of The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall where she will lay in state until the early morning of her funeral. Queen Elizabeth II died at Balmoral Castle in Scotland on September 8, 2022, and is succeeded by her eldest son, King Charles III. (Photo by Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images)

As the slow drips of detail started to seep out last week, Spare looked set to be one of the biggest book releases of the decade.

I’d like to consider myself a fairly level-headed observer of the royal family ; having grown up just outside Windsor and being able to see the castle from my bedroom (well, if you really squint on a clear day) I have often cast a curious eye across the headlines to see what the royals/my neighbours were up to.

My opinions on the Windsors are conflicting – while I know there’s deep-rooted issues with the colonialism the monarchy represents and the privilege they all enjoy, I have avidly devoured The Crown and would occasionally go gooey-eyed about the late Queen .

But the excerpts leaked from Spare in the run up to its release – from ‘Harold’ and ‘Willy’ having physical fights to Hazza snorting lines at shooting parties and shagging in fields made even me, the most casual observer of the crown, want to neck Harry’s book neat like a shot of tequila.

So that’s exactly what I did, after trekking to a colleague’s house to pick up the weighty tome, the preview arriving four hours later than planned.

Spare does not so much spill the tea on life in the royal household – it rather smashes the entire gold gilded teapot, with the carefully PR-curated representations of King Charles and Prince William shattered amongst the shards.

spare book review amazon

Harry is unflinchingly raw and honest in his writing, describing his father’s glacial manner being at odds with Harry’s ‘sillier’ self.

The pair consistently fail to connect, with the King choosing not to pull his son in for a hug when he announced his mother, Princess Diana, had died, to laughing at all the wrong points and causing blushes when Harry starred in an Eton production of Much Ado About Nothing.

His love for William, ‘Willy’, is evident, but often superseded by their ‘private olympiad’ of a sibling rivalry – constantly putting each other on the backfoot, tensions between them build to a crescendo which culminates in the much-publicised physical fight at Nott Cott.

King Charles III

Harry offered a less measured portrayal of his step-mother, Queen consort Camilla, whom he describes as ‘bored’ upon their first meeting, and ‘dangerous’ ahead of her wedding to his Pa.

While he rather begrudgingly writes that he hopes she makes his father happy, he is less gracious towards the memoir’s primary antagonist, the press, who Harry squarely lays the blame for most of his woes.

Journalists are given a short shrift, with one infamous editor described as a ‘loathsome toad’ and a ‘pustule on the arse of humanity.’

But the book’s bitterness is counterbalanced with Harry’s heartbreakingly beautiful descriptions of his late mother.

You can feel the palpable pain of his loss as he recalls how his younger self coped with Diana’s death by pretending she was merely in hiding, spiriting herself away from the ghastly flashbulb of photographers.

He sees Diana everywhere, sending him messages through nature, and explains his desperate need for proximity by following her charity work.

Spare has its funny moments too, although it can border on schoolboy/squaddie at times. The first half of the book is a misty-eyed look back at his days as a boarder in Ludgrove and Eton, with Harry fondly remembering smoking spliffs in the loos before watching Family Guy. The infamous frostbitten penis debacle also features, although the lengthy and bloated descriptions of Harry’s ‘todger’ begin to tire quite quickly. 

Of course, the final section of the book is dedicated to his life with Meghan, someone so breath-takingly beautiful that Harry describes looking at her like ‘a punch in the throat’. As their relationship goes public, Harry’s fear of losing Meghan, like he lost his mother, is evident – bringing a fresh, raw perspective of a story that has been rehashed for over three years.

Prince Harry in Afghanistan

Ahead of the release of Spare, I was beginning to tire of Harry and Meghan’s round the clock PR drive. Their recent Netflix documentary bordered on being a little self-indulgent and worthy, and failed to significantly tread any new ground following the famous Oprah interview early last year. As much as I can sympathise with their claims of poor treatment and Meghan’s struggle with her mental health, I couldn’t help but wish they’d move on from their confessional tour, and start to look forward instead of backwards.

However, it is clear that TV isn’t necessarily Harry’s forte. In print, the prince seems to have found his stride with this somewhat sad tale of a tortured man, grappling with a grief that still hangs heavy in his heart. He has J. R. Moehringer’s skilful penmanship to thank for his eloquence, keeping the lengthy read tight as he threads Harry’s anecdotes together in a vignette-style narrative . 

What I am still struggling with is Harry’s motive for writing Spare, besides the obvious financial benefit. He claims to want to reconcile with his father and brother, I can’t help but feel a book this unflinchingly frank will push him further from the fold.

For someone who speaks so furiously about press intrusion and the desire for privacy, Spare is a far more telling story than any newspaper nib. Whether it’s worth losing his family over remains to be seen.

  24. Amazon.co.uk:Customer reviews: Spare

    Personally I would not have entitled Prince Harry's book "Spare". For me, that introduces a "negative" immediate impression. Prince Harry puts the term "spare" into a context in his writing, I believe it is not necessary in the "headline title", on the front cover. I recommend reading Prince Harry's book.
