Panic attacks, princes and the press: 5 of the most revealing takeaways from Harry’s memoir Spare

Prince Harry’s memoir Spare has officially been released, and with it a number of new headline-generating revelations about his fraught relationship with the royal family.

Unplanned leaks last week gave us an early insight into what would be discussed, but the book can now be read as a whole. Ghostwritten by JR Moehringer, the book is a timeline of sorts; it charts Harry’s younger years, including his memories of his late mother, Diana, along with his struggles dealing with press intrusion, dating while in the public eye, and his years serving in Afghanistan. Later, he details his first dates with Meghan Markle and the growing tensions between him and his older brother William, now Prince of Wales.
