Prince Harry ‘will be tough on Wills and Kate’ in book, says insider

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.
