Prince Harry’s blockbuster memoir does not ‘Spare’ its readers from provocative details
Whether you are a royal buff or not, chances are you have come across more details than you would have liked about Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, online in recent weeks — beyond the buzz around his Netflix film, ‘Harry & Meghan’. The highly anticipated autobiography entitled, ‘Spare’ raises more questions than answers as the recounting of Harry’s life through a no-holds-barred memoir makes headline after headline for its riveting anecdotes, exposing more than just royal secrets.
Dominating the interwebs — through news cycles and social media — Harry’s story, from his early experimentation with drugs to a strained relationship with his father, King Charles III has had people gripped. While the internet cannot help but be equal parts enamoured and horrified by what they have heard and read, there is no denying that Harry’s book has fueled an online discussion on what went down between the royals as internet sleuths determine which written details are fact or fiction — even earning a few memes along the way as most of the declarations were outlandish, to say the least. Across its 416 pages, the most notable claims were of the Prince and Princess of Wales edging Harry on to promote anti-semitism by allegedly encouraging him to wear a Nazi costume during a Halloween party in 2005 and his responsibility in the deaths of 25 Taliban fighters. If there is anything readers can take away from his memoir, it is that perhaps secrets should remain as such.
