Harry 'cut so much out of Spare to protect Prince of Wales and King there is enough for another book'

The Duke of Sussex has said the original transcript for his best-selling memoir Spare is twice the length of the published book - prompting reports there is sufficient material for a follow-up. However, although there could be a sequel, the surplus material from the first autobiography might not ever come to light, as he said he held back some disclosures for which the King and the Prince of Wales would not “ever forgive” him.

The Telegraph reports that "there’s enough for another book" and that Prince Harry "cut memoir in half to spare" his family. In an interview with the newspaper, Prince Harry said the original transcript for his book, Spare, was twice the length of the final draft.

And he said that a lot of the detail edited out concerned interactions with both his father and his brother. The revelation is likely to leave the Royal family concerned about possible future disclosures, with Buckingham Palace sources noting that he might be forced to write further books for financial gain.
