Prince Harry’s Long List of Thank Yous in New Autobiography
Prince Harry's highly anticipated autobiography, “Spare,” has finally been released and the acknowledgments section at the back of the book is causing quite a stir.
In it, the Duke of Sussex reels off an incredibly long list of people he'd like to thank, leaving him deeply humbled by its length.
Among those Harry pays tribute to are his mates in the UK who stuck by him, friends and colleagues who helped jog his memory, publishing and audio teams, medical experts and coaches, and of course, the reader.
However, the one group of people noticeably absent from his list are members of the royal family, including close pals Princess Eugene and Jack Brooksbank.
Instead, Harry thanks Princess Diana's siblings and Meghan's mother-in-law Doria and kids Archie and Lilibet, as well as a number of celebrity pals.
Coldplay singer Chris Martin, chat show queen Oprah Winfrey, Gavin and Stacey star James Corden, American actor Tyler Perry, and Argentinian actor Nacho Figueras and his wife Delfina Blackwear all receive mentions for their unwavering friendship and support.

However, there are some famous faces missing from the list, including music producer David Foster, who has been referred to as Harry's other father.
According to reports, David has played a key role in Prince Harry's life and is seen as a father figure.
He even helped the Sussexes find a home in Canada before they eventually moved to California.
David's wife, musician Catherine McPhee, also used to perform in school productions with Meghan but the two were never close.
However, after performing in Waitress the musical in London, she and her husband struck up a friendship with Harry and Meghan and have remained in contact ever since.
Catherine has spoken publicly about the special bond between her husband and Prince Harry, describing them as “like father and son.”
However, it's believed that Harry and Meghan have fallen out with David Foster.
Rumors suggest that Meghan leaked information about their dinner night out and then tried to upstage Catherine by wearing a coat intended to spark pregnancy rumors.
Meghan also allegedly tried to squeeze her way into a paid paparazzi walk with Catherine and their kids, but David and Catherine said no.
There was also the small issue of Meghan flirting with David Foster, which reportedly caused tension between the couples.
Catherine didn't like how Meghan was acting and told her to quit it, but when Harry was told, he just laughed it off and said they were making it all up.
It's clear that Prince Harry's list of thank yous in his new autobiography is causing quite a stir, with some notable absences and rumors of falling outs.
However, one thing is certain, Harry is deeply grateful for the support he's received from those closest to him, both famous and not.
