Prince Harry's tell-all memoir, titled Spare, will release on January 10, and promises "raw, unflinching honesty… insight, revelation, self-examination and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief."
According to one source, the book will focus on Harry's "rivalry" with brother Prince William and “It will reveal Harry’s bitterness and feelings of unfairness that by the nature of hierarchy and birthright he always played second fiddle to older William."
Ahead of the memoir's release, Harry has conducted a series of explosive interviews set to release this weekend.

Prince Harry will be tough on William and Kate in his book but less critical of King Charles, a publishing insider has said.
A source told The Sunday Times they did not see how the brothers’ relationship could recover once Harry’s memoir Spare is published on January 10, They said: “I think the book will be worse for the Royal Family than they are expecting.
“Everything is laid bare. Charles comes out of it better than I had expected, but it’s tough on William, in particular, and even Kate gets a bit of a broadside.
“There are these minute details, and a description of the fight between the brothers. I can’t see how Harry and William will be able to reconcile after this.”
The Duke of Sussex, who received an £18.4million advance for the memoir, will also explore his grief following the death of his mother and the permanent emotional wound that has left.
The source added: “The overall impression is this is a man who never recovered from the trauma of his mother dying so young.”
The highly anticipated book is ghostwritten by JR Moehringer, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who previously ghosted tennis ace Andre Agassi’s autobiography.
Prince Harry's book, which is titled Spare will be released globally on January 10, 2023, by Penguin Random House.
The book will be available to purchase in a number of different formats, including digital, print and audio.
An unabridged audio edition of the book will be read by Prince Harry himself.
Spare will be available to buy in 16 different languages, including –Spanish, French, German, Chinese and Italian.
Prince William took Kate on a James Bond-style drive in a luxury Aston Martin after being gifted the car for a weekend.
The vehicle, which is a Welsh-built Aston Martin DBX707, is the world’s fastest SUV.
The £189,000 luxury SUV is the first Welsh-built production car in more than 50 years.
An insider said: “The delivery of the car was an operation worthy of the secret service in itself. It was very hush-hush.
“But he was spotted behind the wheel buzzing round the tight and winding country lanes of North Norfolk.
“It is not a coincidence the car was one that was built in Wales by Welsh workers.
“William had the Aston for the whole weekend. He got to experience life like James Bond for a few days.
“The only difference is, unlike 007, William had to hand the car back at the end of the weekend.”

Prince Harry enlisted the penmanship of author JR Moehringer to ghostwrite his memoir 'Spare'.
Moehringer is an American novelist and journalist and has written memoirs for two notable public figures during his career.
Before becoming an author, he was a journalist, and launched his career as an assistant news editor at the New York Times.
He has also worked Rocky Mountain News and the Los Angeles Times.
While at the Los Angeles Times he won the Pulitzer Prize for newspaper feature writing in 2000.
He has previously written memoirs for Andre Agassi and Nike co-founder Phil Knight.
It is extremely difficult to estimate the worth of the Royal Family’s property portfolio but The Crown Estate is thought to be around £17billion, according to Insider.
Now that King Charles wears the crown, he also has a private property portfolio, known as the Duchy of Lancaster.
This was established for the reigning monarch in 1399, as a way to provide independent income to the Sovereign.
It’s one of two royal duchies.
The other is the Duchy of Cornwall, which Prince William inherited from his father upon the Queen’s death.
Camilla is set to drop the term ‘Consort’ from her title and become known simply as ‘Queen’, it emerged last week.
She will be called Queen Camilla after King Charles’ Coronation at Westminster Abbey in May, it was reported.
And Prince William and Kate’s son Prince Louis, four, is likely to inherit the Duke of Edinburgh title from his late great-grandfather, Prince Philip.
Many courtiers have stopped using the term ‘Consort’ when referring to Camilla, 75, it was claimed.
A source told the Daily Mail: “Some have dropped the ‘Consort’ already — it’s worth noting that she now has ‘Queen’s Companions’ instead of ladies-in-waiting — but there’s no fixed plan. People will just find themselves saying it naturally.”
Prince Harry is set to release his tell-all memoir Spare in the coming weeks.
And according to one source, the book will include details of Harry and William's sibling rivalry.
A source with knowledge of the book told The Sunday Times: "Generally, I think the book [will be] worse for them than the royal family is expecting.
"Everything is laid bare. Charles comes out of it better than I had expected, but it’s tough on William, in particular, and even Kate gets a bit of a broadside.
"There are these minute details, and a description of the fight between the brothers.
"I personally can’t see how Harry and William will be able to reconcile after this."
Prince Harry's highly anticipated memoir Spare is ready to hit the shelves in the coming weeks.
Publishers have vowed the book is written with ''raw, unflinching honesty'' as well as being ''full of insight, revelation, self- examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.''
Publisher Penguin Random House's also added: ''Spare takes readers immediately back to 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 Diana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest, billions wondered what the princes must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.''
But why is the book titled Spare?
The title likely refers to "the heir and the spare", a saying used to describe Harry and his brother Prince William.
Speaking to CBS ahead of the release of his bombshell memoir, Prince Harry slammed the Royal Family.
Harry told host Anderson Cooper: “Every single time I have tried to do it privately there have been briefings and leakings and planting of stories against me and my wife
“The family motto is ‘never complain never explain’. But it’s just a motto. It doesn’t really hold. There’s endless [complaining and explaining] through leaks.
“They will feed or have a conversation with the correspondent and that correspondent will be spoon fed information and write the story.
“Then at the bottom of it they will say that they have reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.
“But the whole story is Buckingham Palace commenting.
“So when we are being told for the last six years we can’t put a statement out to protect you, but you do it for the rest of the family, there becomes a point when silence is betrayal.”

A body language expert has taken a look at the explosive new trailer for Harry’s upcoming CBS interview.
Expert Judi James told The Sun: “This might be a short trailer but it does the trick in terms of teasing the drama by using three sets of body language cues and techniques.
“The authoritative prince: Harry is seen walking with a solid chest splay signalling confidence, using the political leadership trick of one handed gesticulation as he talks.
“The Guru: Harry is sitting down, using his favourite, pompous over-kill gesticulations to look as though his words are terribly important.
“He mimes a huge circle in the air to ensure his message is listened to and understood.
“The bean-spilling victim: Lastly we see Harry with a lower-status ‘victim ‘ look, wide-eyed and with his brows raised as he holds alternate hands out in the air, palm-up, to suggest openness and explanation.
“He shrugs and uses a wry smile to both persuade and to hint at incredulity, possibly about how he has been treated.”

Princess Eugenie refuses to take sides in the ongoing feud between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and the Royal Family, a source claimed.
Eugenie – daughter of Duchess Sarah Ferguson and disgraced royal Prince Andrew – appeared in the Sussexes’ Netflix doc on a number of occasions, proving her loyalty to them.
But a source told the Express: “Eugenie’s still very close to William and Kate, she hasn’t taken sides or any nonsense like that.”
“She loves them both and she’s known for being diplomatic, so it’s no surprise she’s been able to keep a foot in both camps.”
Prince William took Kate on a James Bond-style drive in a luxury Aston Martin after being gifted the car for a weekend.
The vehicle, which is a Welsh-built Aston Martin DBX707, is the world’s fastest SUV.

According to one royal biographer, Prince Harry could be set to open up about his late mother in his upcoming memoir Spare.
Royal biographer Ingrid Seward said: “He’s got a very good ghost who will write well about feelings, and I think it’s totally fair that Harry should talk about his mother, because everybody else in the world has and they’ve sort of taken her over.
“The publisher will know that Diana sells. And you don’t have to say too much because whatever he says is coming from him.”
Prince Harry is set to release his tell-all memoir Spare in the coming weeks.
And according to one source, the book will focus on his rivalry with Prince William.
The source said: “At the heart of this book lies a sibling rivalry between little brother and big brother.
“It will reveal Harry’s bitterness and feelings of unfairness that by the nature of hierarchy and birthright that he always played second fiddle to older William.
“The falling out is to be covered in the book in detail and what aggravates is it’s not an outsider revealing these private moments — it’s Harry giving his one-sided account of family affairs.
“Harry and William were meant to stick together and support each other.
“Their mother Diana always warned them they must never fall out because they would need one another. It is very sad it’s reached this stage.”

Just two days before Prince Harry’s explosive memoir hits shelves, an interview between the royal and American outlet CBS will air.
But when will you be able to watch it?
Well, Prince Harry’s book Spare releases on January 10, so you will be able to see the explosive interview on Jan 8, 2023.
Speaking in the trailer for the shock interview, Prince Harry can be heard saying: “The family motto is ‘never complain never explain’. But it’s just a motto. It doesn’t really hold. There’s endless [complaining and explaining] through leaks.
“They will feed or have a conversation with the correspondent and that correspondent will be spoon-fed information and write the story. “
A royal expert has questioned Prince Harry’s motives for criticising the Royal Family in his upcoming memoir “Spare.”
Speaking to GB News, the BBC’s Royal Correspondent Jennie Bond said: “I think even that title is very revealing. But I want to know, what is it that Harry wants?
"Feuds between brothers, between siblings, go back as far as Cain and Abel if you like.
“There’s nothing new about that. So, what did Harry want? Did he want the destiny into which William was born? Does he want to be King? I think not.”
Netflix announced that in the first week of its premiere, Harry and Meghan’s doc was viewed for 81.55 million hours.
This is the highest viewing hours recorded for any documentary title in its premiere week.
