'Original Spare' Prince Andrew 'to set the record straight' in 'tell-all autobiography'

Prince Andrew is in talks with an American author about writing an explosive tell-all autobiography, it is being claimed. The Mail reports sources close to the Duke of York say he believes an autobiography would allow him to set the record straight following the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

The project is being described as 'Spare 2.0' following the release of Prince Harry’s controversial book, Spare. But the source told the Mail that Andrew was "the original spare" and "compared to Harry, he has a far greater depth of history to draw from."

Andrew's previous attempt at explaining himself was his notorious BBC Newsnight interview in 2019 but the feeling is that the Duke would have more control with a book. "Writing a book would give him the opportunity to fully explain his association with Jeffrey Epstein and the resulting fall-out," said the source. "It would also be a fascinating insight into the inner workings of the Royals and their relationships."
