Prince Harry knew Royals ‘would only listen to him' through ‘Spare'

Prince Harry reportedly has regrets despite the success of his memoir ‘Spare.’

The Duke of Sussex, whose book was branded New York Times best seller in 2023, brought damage to his relationship with father King Charles and brother Prince William.

Speaking about Harry’s regret about the book, a source tells Mirror: "Although Harry is glad he finally got his say on everything that went on with Spare, there is part of him that has some regrets over it all and the way it was handled.”

"He was still very angry about how he was treated by his family and wanted them to know and felt his book was the only way they'd listen. But looking back, he's not sure it was handled in the right way and he has faced a lot of criticism for it and hurt his family a lot. "

The source said: "Harry still wants to have a relationship with them and is hoping that in 2025, he can make that happen. A lot has gone on since Spare was released and he didn't update the paperback version – so he is hopeful he can repair the relationship.

"Meghan has had many offers to write her own book and she's still considering them. She doesn't have the loyalty Harry has and would happily write about her experiences – but she is also aware that dragging up the past could cause another backlash and lose her even more public support,” they noted.
