New Spare Sequel Tell-All Could Obliterate Prince Harry's Royal Ties, Expert Warns: 'A Resounding Crash' Ahead
Shortly after the release of Spare in January 2023, Prince Harry said he had enough content left over for more tell-all books, and it seems he could be ready to spill all again. The news has some major royal analysts concerned and surprised with the new reports.
"I can't imagine that Harry would contemplate a follow-up to Spare," veteran royal correspondent Jennie Bond shared.
"He has indicated that he wants to move on: he has said his peace, vented his anger and faced the consequences," she added. "If he did go there, then I am sure the response would be a continued dignified silence and a resounding crash as the palace doors slammed on any hope of future reconciliation."
"The first draft was different," the Montecito Duke told a publication in January 2023. "It was 800 pages, and now it’s down to 400 pages. It could have been two books; put it that way. And the hard bit was taking things out."
The Duke of Sussex is already in the royal doghouse and "likely permanently banned from royal life in their [senior royals and courtiers] eyes," a palace insider revealed. "If he does follow through with writing yet another salacious book, that ban will extend to a personal bar from his family, meaning he won't just be excluded from royal events; he will be ignored as if he never existed."
Harry further added: "There are some things that have happened, especially between me and my brother, and to some extent between me and my father, that I just don’t want the world to know," before adding "Because I don’t think they would ever forgive me."
Prince William has reportedly not spoken a single word to his younger brother since shortly after Queen Elizabeth II's State Funeral on September 19, 2022. The future king is also apparently not interested in the idea of ever reconciling with him either.
A publication reported that King Charles has a level of "determination to try and reconcile" with Harry, but William's pals noted that the monarch-in-waiting has a different stance on their public feud.
"He absolutely f------ hates him," the insider told the outlet."Harry sold his family out to the media for millions of dollars, and William can’t forgive that breach of trust."

"I think it’s exactly because the bond was so deep that the betrayal has been so wounding," the source noted. "They were the only people who actually knew what each other had been through."
"How would you feel if your best friend decided to reveal all your personal secrets to the newspapers," the confidant questioned. "Well, multiply that by a thousand."
