This Morning's Dermot O'Leary defends Prince Harry over memoir as he recalls meeting royal

Dermot O'Leary has defended Prince Harry over his upcoming memoir - as he opened up about his meetings with the former royal.

Prince Harry is set to release his memoir, titled Spare, in the new year, with royal insiders labelling the choice of title and picture as "confrontational" and "yet another attack on the royal family". The name - Spare - is a nod to the phrase 'The Heir and Spare', which was used to describe Harry and his older brother Prince William based on the line of succession.

As Dermot and Alison Hammond discussed the new memoir with Gyles Brandreth and Matthew Wright, Dermot was quick to step in and defend Harry's plan to tell his stories. He recalled a time they met, lamenting over how Harry was constantly followed around.
