Prince Harry Extends an Olive Branch to King Charles by Publishing 'Spare' Paperback Edition Without Additional Bombshell Confessions
Prince Harry's memoir Spare is set to publish paperback copies, but this edition of the memoir will not contain any new salacious stories, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
According to a report, the content of the book will be completely "unchanged."
The book is set to hit U.K. retailers on Thursday, October 24 – a release date that will occur during King Charles' appearance at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa.
Charles will be in Samoa from October 21 until October 25 as part of his fall royal tours of Oceania.
As previously reported, rumors swirled for some time that the duke may have added several juicy anecdotes to the paperback copies.
"Prince Harry is already planning to add at least one new chapter," the insider claimed, noting it would be out "later this year or early next, when the hardcover sales have ended."
Despite their claims, a rep for Harry confirmed the rumors were "not true."
Spare greatly impacted Harry's ties to the royal family, which is one of the reasons why Prince William and Kate Middleton are expected to continue to avoid the Duke of Sussex amid her and Charles' cancer battles.
"Kate’s still very much focusing on her healing, and they decided to create a firm boundary to protect her from all the stress and upset Harry and Meghan [Markle] create, which understandably has a negative impact on her physical health, as well as her mental health," a source shared.
"Kate and William have put a self-imposed ban on anything Meghan and Harry-related, as they take time out to enjoy some much-needed respite and family time," the insider noted.
While the Princess of Wales battles cancer, the Prince of Wales has continued to protect her peace.
"William was sick and tired of seeing how triggered and anxious Kate would become every time Meghan and Harry would do or say something that negatively impacted them — no matter how subtle — and as soon as he suggested it, Kate agreed it was vital for them all," the source said.
When Kate and Charles were initially diagnosed, royal watchers wondered if Harry would take on royal duties in their absence. However, experts believe the future king may be blocking the duke from rejoining the monarchy.
"It is widely known within the family that Prince William has laid down an absolute ban on Harry returning in any way, shape or form into his former royal family fold," correspondent Hilary Fordwich told an outlet.
"If anyone will relent, it would be King Charles III ... who still misses his ‘darling boy’ and would like to see more of Prince Harry," Fordwich stated. "However, to this day, after the release of Spare and the Netflix serial, as well as with everything else Harry has said, done and not done, it’s Prince William who adamantly refuses to even speak to his brother."
