As Prince Harry's long awaited memoir Spare finally hits the bookshelves, we take a closer look at some of the most savage attacks on the royal family contained within it...
Two years on from the release of his highly controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey, and just weeks after his Netflix documentary series levelled a fresh round of damning claims against the royal family, Prince Harry has once again launched a new round of savage attacks on the family with his new memoir Spare.
Speaking during his interview with ITV’s Tom Bradby to promote the book, Harry even told the veteran journalist, he had hopes of a reconciliation one day, as he just: "wants his father and brother back.”Camilla’s leaks to the press Shouldering some of the biggest claims in the book is Queen Consort Camilla, who Harry alleges leaked stories to the press about his brother Prince William.
'Tipsy' William 'stank of booze' hours before marrying Kate In one of several less than favourable accounts of his brother William, Harry accused his brother of hitting the bottle hard the night before his wedding to blushing bride Kate Middleton, even claiming his brother was “tipsy” during an impromptu walkabout the night before the big day.
In one anecdote, Harry even recalled cracking the window open, covering his nose and offering his brother some mints "by way of mockery”. Adding that his father had a tendency to end things with a “philosophical flash” on this occasion, Charles mused about whether anyone could ever truly be sure they weren’t “living in a fantasy” themselves, or suffering from a mental illness.
Harry also claims that his father even jokingly referred to him as the “spare” moments after he was born. Likening their first meeting to getting an injection, the Prince wrote: “Close your eyes and you won’t even feel it.” In his recollection of the moment, Harry explained how his father didn’t hug him following the crushing news, but instead placed a hand on his knee and told him "It's going to be OK”, something he attributed to his father’s difficulty in showing his emotions.
William and Harry's physical altercation One of the most explosive revelations to come from the book, is that a physical confrontation took place between him and older brother William at Nottingham Cottage in Kensington Palace in 2019. "I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.”
However, in his new book, Harry claimed that William and Kate approved of him wearing it, and had even “howled with laughter” when he first contacted them to seek their advice over whether he should wear it to attend the soiree.
