Prince Harry has wanted to tell his story for a long time, and on January 10th, we are going to hear. Literally because the audiobook and the hardcover versions of Spare will be released on that date.
Penguin Random House describes it as; 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 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.
For Harry, this is that story at last.
With its raw, unflinching honesty, Spare is a landmark publication full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.
The Spare child will be donating $1,800,000 to two charities. $1,500,000 will go to Sentebale, an organization he founded in his mother’s honor for vulnerable children and young people in Lesotho and Botswana affected by HIV/AIDS. And the remaining money will be given to Well Child, which provides money to sick children so that they can be treated at home.
It is a good thing the book is coming out after Christmas, so at least he can spend one last holiday with his family before they hate him.
I have a feeling from that title his dad should be worried. Very worried.
Spare is available for preorder now.
