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 Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on. For Harry, this is that story at last.
Before losing his mother, twelve-year-old Prince Harry was known as the carefree one, the happy-go-lucky Spare to the more serious Heir. Grief changed everything. He struggled at school, struggled with anger, with loneliness—and, because he blamed the press for his mother's death, he struggled to accept life in the spotlight.
At twenty-one, he joined the British Army. The discipline gave him structure, and two combat tours made him a hero at home. But he soon felt more lost than ever, suffering from post-traumatic stress and prone to crippling panic attacks. Above all, he couldn't find true love.
Then he met Meghan. The world was swept away by the couple's cinematic romance and rejoiced in their fairy-tale wedding. But from the beginning, Harry and Meghan were preyed upon by the press, subjected to waves of abuse, racism, and lies. Watching his wife suffer, their safety and mental health at risk, Harry saw no other way to prevent the tragedy of history repeating itself but to flee his mother country. Over the centuries, leaving the Royal Family was an act few had dared. The last to try, in fact, had been his mother...
For the first time, Prince Harry tells his own story, chronicling his journey with raw, unflinching honesty. A landmark publication, Spare is full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.
The book is also available in Bulgarian language – Резервният, published by publishing house Riva.
The book “Spare” is the autobiographical account of Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, in which he candidly shares his personal struggles, battles, and inner conflicts. The title “Spare” reflects his role within the British royal family – as the second son, always overshadowed by the heir, his brother Prince William. Through this title, he explores the themes of identity, self-worth, and the search for independence.
The narrative traces Harry’s childhood, deeply marked by media scrutiny and especially the tragic loss of his mother, Princess Diana. He openly describes the grief, trauma, and overwhelming sense of absence that shaped his upbringing. The book also delves into complex relations with his father, King Charles III, and the growing tension with his brother, which became increasingly difficult over the years.
A central focus is on war and military service, which Harry portrays both as an escape and as a way to find meaning. He describes his missions in Afghanistan in detail and how his role in the army gave him a sense of belonging that he often lacked within the royal institution.
Particular attention is given to the media and its influence on his life – relentless intrusion, false stories, and the aggressive culture of the tabloids. This constant pressure played a decisive role in his choice to step back from royal duties together with his wife Meghan Markle.
The memoir also highlights love and marriage with Meghan, which Harry presents as a source of strength and resilience. He recounts the challenges they faced – racism, institutional resistance, and betrayal from within. Their decision to leave the UK and start anew in the United States is portrayed as an act of freedom and protection of their family.
“Spare” is ultimately a book about pain, lost childhood, and the fight for one’s own voice, but also about love, resilience, and the courage to choose a different path. It not only illuminates Prince Harry’s inner world but also exposes the darker sides of monarchy and the media, challenging the public to see beyond glamour and tradition.
