Prince Harry's leaked memoir details sex, drugs, fights and killing
Prince Harry’s autobiography Spare is not due out until next week but it dominated headlines on Thursday after a Spanish-language version of the memoir mistakenly went on sale.
The book was hurriedly withdrawn from shelves in Spain but not before copies were obtained by media outlets, who pored over its contents – and its implications for Britain’s most famous family.
The blunder, despite a worldwide embargo until Tuesday, came after the Guardian newspaper’s US edition revealed on Wednesday night that it had seen a copy of the book and published key excerpts.
They include how Harry was allegedly physically attacked by his older brother, Prince William, in a blazing 2019 row about his wife, Meghan.
Other revelations include how he was told of the death of his mother Princess Diana in a car crash in 1997, and how he received a message from her from beyond the grave via a woman with “powers”.
