Prince Harry's memoir "Spare": The ultimate Earthquake at House Windsor
Prince Harry's book will be published in a few days. "Spare" - as his father King Charles III is said to have called him, is the title. The content goes from the brotherly quarrel in Windsor to the "spanky" deflowering adventure of the former heir to the throne. L'Officiel Austria's Digital Director, Maria Ratzinger, has given her thoughts on the deep fall of the former royal favourite.
If you complain about too much press attention, you shouldn't - for the sake of your credibility - come up with a Netflix docu-series a year later. While Meghan Markle is still bravely digging her way out of the mud pit with a podcast and can come up with content, Harry's relationship with his family, which is already has its cracks, is probably over for good with the biography "Spare", which will be published soon.
The fact that the prince speaks about his Afghanistan mission in Wild West manner and talks about killing (allegedly) 25 people of the opposing side because they were "one of the bad ones" shows a richly naïve spirit. To make oneself and one's young family the target of radical forces - not a very intelligent idea.

But that's not all: the rivalry with older brother Prince William - including a brawl - is one thing, his descriptions of the funeral of his mother, Princess Diana, are another. An "emotionally cold" King Charles III, who did not give him, the 12-year-old, a hug when he received the news of his death and also doubted his paternity (towards him), is not only a death blow to the already strained relationship, it also makes it clear that sometimes it would be better to consult a psychotherapist and not let the whole world share such painful experiences by means of a book deal.
No matter how the feud between the royals will turn out in the next few months (it can be assumed that the palace will not comment on it), King Charles III will also suffer his wounds. Even before his coronation, he was not one of the most popular British monarchs, so the accounts of his youngest son will not contribute to a positive change. On the contrary. Especially not that both sons asked him not to marry their mother's former rival, Camilla Parker-Bowles.
