The life and times of Mr. Markle

Could this book bring down the British monarchy?

If that were to happen, it would be proof the pen is indeed mightier than the sword.

Spare, the highly anticipated book by Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex is set to hit bookstores soon.

It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Diana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest, billions wondered what the princes must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

For Harry, this is that story at last.

With its raw, unflinching honesty, Spare is a landmark publication full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.
