King Charles and Prince William were left out of the foreword in Prince Harry’s new paperback UK release of Spare.
The original copy of Prince Harry’s memoir, published in 2023, featured a dedication to his wife, children and late mother.
However, the duke decided not to add his brother, Prince William, and father, King Charles, in the paperback edition, released nearly two years later.
The page read: “For Meg and Archie and Lili…and of course, my mother”

“Because I don’t think they would ever forgive me. Now you could argue that some of the stuff I’ve put in there, well, they will never forgive me anyway.”
He also expressed his anger at the UK media, his unresolved trauma over the death of his mother, his mental health struggles, his lonely life before meeting Meghan, and the breakdown of his family relationships.
