KEY POINTS

  • Prince Harry seeks to minimize the potential fallout his book "Spare" will cause between him and his family
  • It was difficult for the Duke of Sussex to recount his traumatic childhood but cathartic at the same time
  • Prince Harry reportedly stayed true to his principles and made the publishers happy with his memoir

Prince Harry has no regrets about sharing his personal story in his upcoming memoir "Spare," according to a report.

The Duke of Sussex is hoping that his book will not further damage his already strained relationship with the royal family. However, he reportedly has no regrets about his tome.

"Harry has been working hard to strike a balance that will hopefully minimize the fallout caused by this book," an anonymous source told Us Weekly adding that he was trying to stay "true to his principles" and keep his publishers "happy at the same time."

"It's been a very rough process," the source continued. "And very difficult for him to recount certain traumatic events from his childhood."

Prince Harry will relive the highs and lows of his youth in his memoir, including his mother Princess Diana's death in 1997. While it wasn't easy to revisit the traumatic events in his life, he also reportedly found the experience "cathartic."

"At the same time, he's found it cathartic," the source added. "And at this stage, there are no regrets."

Last year, Prince Harry announced that he was working on his memoir. In a statement released by the publisher, Penguin Random House described the book as "the definitive account of the experiences, adventures, losses, and life lessons that have helped shape him."

"Prince Harry will offer an honest and captivating personal portrait, one that shows readers that behind everything they think they know lies an inspiring, courageous, and uplifting human story," it added.

Prince Harry also released a statement about his anticipated tome at the time.

"I'm writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become," he said. "I've worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story — the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned — I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think."

Meanwhile, royal and entertainment reporter Neil Sean claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were reportedly aiming to damage King Charles' coronation. The Duke of Sussex's memoir will come out months before His Majesty's big day, which falls on the same day as their son Archie's 4th birthday.

"They're on some kind of mission once again to make sure they damage the forthcoming coronation next spring for King Charles III," Sean claimed on his YouTube channel.

He also claimed that King Charles and Prince William were not bothered by what Prince Harry wrote about them. However, they were concerned that he had written anything that would "decimate" the Queen's legacy.

"King and the Prince of Wales are awaiting this eagerly along with their many esteemed lawyers," the royal commentator added.

"Spare" will hit shelves on Jan. 10, 2023.
