Prince Harry 'held back' on book revelations over fears Charles and William would 'never forgive him'

Prince Harry has said that his new memoir Spare "could have been two books" - but he avoided including certain revelations over fears that it would permanently sever his relationship with father King Charles and brother Prince William.

The Duke of Sussex told The Telegraph that the first draft of the book, which hit the shelves this week, came in at 800 pages - double the length of the final manuscript. Harry admitted that he had revealed several stories to his ghost-writer JR Moehringer during the process of writing the memoir "for context" that there was "absolutely no way" would be included in the book.

"There are some things that have happened, especially between me and my brother, and to some extent between me and my father, that I just don’t want the world to know," he said. "Because I don’t think they would ever forgive me."
