The Media Blitz following the Jan. 10 publication of Prince Harry’s memoir Spare has one major theme: he has grown apart from his father King Charles III and his brother William, the Prince of Wales.
Family tensions boiled over in public when, in January 2020, Harry announced that he was taking a step back from his royal duties because of what he saw as suggest tensions go back to birth—an underlying resentment of being “the spare,” while his older brother is “the heir” to the throne. (The book is jam-packed with revelations, such as Harry’s claim that he killed 25 Taliban fighters from a helicopter in Afghanistan—which experts say is dangerous to publicize.)
