About the book
Spare
by Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex
Prince Harry recounts his life inside the British royal family, beginning with the death of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, and the grief that shaped much of his childhood and young adulthood. He writes about growing up under intense public scrutiny, his military service, relationships with members of the royal family, his marriage to Meghan Markle, and the couple’s eventual decision to step back from royal duties. The memoir focuses on grief, identity, family, love, duty, and the pressures of living a highly public life.
