Spare

Spare is the memoir of Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, published by Penguin Random House on 10 January 2023. It opens with a meeting with his father and brother about his future in the royal family, then goes back to the start: a childhood shaped by the death of his mother, Diana, when he was twelve, his schooling, and his years in the British Army.

The book covers his relationships with his father Charles, his brother William, his stepmother Camilla and his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, and his marriage to Meghan Markle and the decision to step back from royal life. Its title refers to the old phrase "an heir and a spare." Harry wrote it with the help of ghostwriter J. R. Moehringer. It became the fastest-selling non-fiction book on record and has been translated into many languages.
