His upcoming memoir, also titled Spare, has received criticism from royal commentator Jonathan Sacerdoti. Sacerdoti believes that the memoir has done a "great disservice" to Prince Harry's own brand and relationships with the rest of the Firm.
In response to allegations made by Prince Harry, Sacerdoti claims that the memoir has caused more harm to the Duke of Sussex than anticipated.
Sacerdoti states that sharing personal information and stories has made Prince Harry appear "petty" at times, citing an example of Prince Harry complaining about his home in Kensington Palace being dark due to a Queen's staff member parking too close to the windows. Sacerdoti suggests that similar complaints would not be well received by those who do not live in a palace.
While the memoir has potentially damaged the Royal Family, Sacerdoti argues that it has also done "quite a lot of damage" to Prince Harry and Meghan themselves.
Sacerdoti suggests that the Palace may not respond, hoping that the damage to Prince Harry and Meghan's reputation will be greater than the damage to the Royal Family.
