Prince Harry’s memoir Spare, which was released on Tuesday, has caused a stir in the United Kingdom. The tell-all account of life in Britain’s royal family has been highly anticipated and has already been the subject of explosive leaks and interviews.

Bookstores around the country opened early for the release of the memoir, but only a trickle of customers showed up. Caroline Lennon, 59, was the only customer waiting outside the landmark Waterstones store in London’s busy Piccadilly Circus before the doors opened.

In the memoir, Harry describes the breakdown in the relationship with his older brother, Prince William, and how his father, now King Charles III, appeared concerned at being overshadowed by his sons and their wives. Harry contends that by planting negative stories in tabloid media, the royal family shared culpability in Harry and Meghan feeling the need to leave the country for their own safety.

Harry, 38, said his father couldn’t stand “someone new dominating the monarchy, grabbing the limelight, someone shiny and new coming in and overshadowing him.” Despite this, Harry is still affectionate about his family, particularly his grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Key takeaways:

  • Prince Harry’s memoir Spare has caused a stir in the UK
  • The memoir details the breakdown in the relationship between Harry and his older brother, Prince William
  • The book has been met with both anticipation and criticism, and its effects on the royal family are yet to be seen
