Prince Harry’s Memoir Sparks Controversy and Rifts Amongst the Royals

The upcoming memoir of Prince Harry, titled Spare, has been the talk of the town, and not all of it has been positive.

The title itself is controversial, referring to the British media's infamous characterizations of Prince William and Prince Harry as the heir and the spare, respectively.

Despite this, the book is expected to be a huge success from a sales perspective.

However, it is perplexing to witness some of the signage lining the streets of Birmingham this Christmas period.

WH Smith is already offering the book at half the retail price, and customers only have to pre-order it.

This is an odd move, considering that they were not expected to have difficulties selling it at full retail price.

In fact, a Palace Insider told OK!

Magazine that Prince William has barely spoken to Harry since Spare was first announced to the public.

This is not the only rift Spare has created.

Another insider has claimed that King Charles III plans to prohibit Harry and his wife Meghan Markle from attending the official coronation ceremony if Harry's memoir portrays Queen Consort Camilla in a negative way.

The source said that almost everything Charles has done over the past 20 years has been about getting Camilla accepted by the public.

He loves her and is incredibly protective of her, and he couldn't do it without her.

Even Queen Elizabeth finally accepted that point.

If Harry forces Charles to choose by laying into Camilla in his book, he'll undoubtedly choose Camilla.

As soon as the title of Prince Harry's memoir was announced, the entire royal family reportedly started dreading its release.

They're also concerned that the title, Spare, is controversial and provocative.

As a royal insider said, the title is loaded, and it doesn't bode well.

Harry has already lined up a softball interview with his friend, ITV journalist Tom Bradby.

Bradby met the royal runaway when the latter was just a teen, and he's shown great sympathy to the traitor, despite calling himself a journalist.

The actual book was written not by Harry but by ghostwriter J.R. Moringer, so calling Harry the author is a bit far-fetched, like much of the vitriol expected based on Harry's previous rants against his life and family.

Rather than choosing a neutral journalist to interview him, Harry chose Bradby, who got to know William and Harry when he was a royal correspondent in the 90s, according to the Daily Mail.

Bradby is the infamous reporter who asked Meghan how she was doing during a tour to South Africa.

Instead of talking about the citizens of South Africa, Meghan seized the moment to clatter on about how no one to that point pandered to her and her needs.

It's also been reported that Harry will be interviewed by awestruck reporter Anderson Cooper.

The interview is expected to be broadcast on Mr. Cooper's 60-minute show on TV network CBS on Sunday the 8th of January, two days before the memoir is released in bookshops.

Cooper boasted about locking eyes with Harry at the latter's 2018 wedding.

He gushed, “I'm excited to talk to him.
