When Prince Harry released his book 'Spare' (the original, the OG, the first one), he did an interview with The Telegraph with Bryony Gordon, saying there’s enough for another book. He mentioned that he cut his memoir in half to spare his family. Since then, in his latest fight against News Group Newspapers (owned by Rupert Murdoch), Harry claimed in the high court that there are no drafts of 'Spare' left because he deleted them all.
So, if there are no drafts because they were all deleted, how is there enough for another book, you may ask? Well, more recently, royal experts have been coming out of the woodwork, saying that Prince Harry would actually do it again and that he's now open to writing a sequel to his memoir 'Spare' after Prince William becomes king.
So, again, I'm just asking for a friend: with this new headline now coming out, is Prince Harry actually threatening to take down Prince William with a 'Spare' sequel? I’ll give you the information, and you can decide for yourselves. But it’s already said that he is planning the sequel to 'Spare' to release when Prince William ascends to the throne.
As we know, Harry released his book 'Spare' in January 2023, including embarrassing personal details about every member of the royal family, including Prince William. Speculation that 'Spare 2.0' is on its way went into overdrive after Andrew Lownie, a royal author, pointed out that 'Spare' contained noticeable gaps, possibly to be revisited in a second tell-all book. This makes sense when Harry said he cut his memoir in half to spare his family.
Kinsey Schofield suspects that Harry is up for writing another book about the Royal Family but believes he’ll likely wait until after King Charles passes away and Prince William becomes king. She said on the Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered podcast this week: "I do think he would write about his family again. He was waiting to publish a book after Queen Elizabeth II passed away. Originally, there was going to be another publication after his grandmother died. I suspect he may release a book after his father passes away."
She adds, "He’s going to do this especially if Prince William continues to keep him at arm’s length. What would the repercussions be if Prince William pushed you out of the fold?" This comes amid claims that Meghan Markle will never allow Prince Harry to apologize to the royal family for what he said in 'Spare' and other numerous interviews, including that Netflix documentary.
Reports say Harry is all for apologizing to the royal family, but apparently, Meghan is stopping him. Royal commentator Lady Colin Campbell told Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi on Wednesday: "He is not going to apologize, at least not while he’s still with Meghan. I really do believe he does her bidding, and she’s never going to allow him to apologize to the family."
King Charles is particularly aggrieved with Prince Harry, especially with the comments he made against Queen Camilla. He specifically wanted an apology for everything said against his wife. Is that going to happen? I’m not holding my breath, you guys.
But here's the thing: why wait? If he has a 'Spare' sequel (Spare 2.0), why wait until King Charles passes away and Prince William ascends to the throne? Prince Harry made millions on that first book, 'Spare'. You’d think he’d want to replicate that success as quickly as possible, regardless of whether King Charles is still with us or not. So, why wait?
One side might argue he wants to save his dad the trouble and stress he faced with the first 'Spare' and not let him go through it again with the sequel. Another argument could be that Harry is waiting to release 'Spare 2.0' until after King Charles has passed away to threaten Prince William once he ascends to the throne.
So, I ask you, is Prince Harry threatening to take down Prince William once he ascends to the throne with a 'Spare' sequel? Something's not right with this picture.
On Twitter, @wantonwrench said: "So Prince Harry is now resorting to blackmail to achieve his goals. What more does he think he can reveal? He’s been spewing his bile for years, and most of it has been thoroughly debunked to the point where nothing he says is believable."
I’d agree that nothing he says is believable anymore, but that won't stop him from releasing a 'Spare' sequel if it brings him and Meghan extra millions. Do you think that by threatening to release a 'Spare' sequel, Prince Harry is resorting to blackmail? And furthermore, do you think Prince Harry is threatening to take down Prince William with a 'Spare' sequel once he ascends to the throne?
