High hopes that "Spare" will be a "fire" film that surpasses Netflix documentaries
The intense pop culture spotlight directed at the royal family, some might say an attack, seems to be hitting the royal family every month these days: season 5 of "The Crown," which aired on Netflix in November; in December, also A six-part documentary about Harry and Meghan that aired on Netflix. Prince Harry's memoir, Spare, will be released on January 10 (two days earlier, on January 8, an interview with Anderson Cooper will be published).
And while the general consensus is that "The Crown" and "Harry & Meghan" were probably lighter hits than expected, "OK" reports that "Spare" will be "even more damaging to the monarchy."
Citing a report in The Times, the magazine reported that the tell-all book "is widely expected to be even more incendiary than the couple's [Harry and Meghan's] Netflix series." The book, published by Penguin Random House, is said to "contain claims about the monarchy that are more incendiary than the Netflix series."
The 416-page book was written by Harry and ghostwriter (and veteran biographer) J.R. Mohlinger, and its contents remain largely unknown to members of the royal family and the public. The aforementioned January 8 conversation with Anderson Cooper and ITV's Tom Bradby. Bradby famously interviewed Harry and Meghan Markle when they toured Africa in 2019, a few months before Harry and his wife returned to active membership in the royal family in January 2020.
And while "Spare" is poised to become the most damning exposé yet, according to royal expert Katie Nicole, Harry's brother Prince William is already not happy about their documentary. 'William will take this personally very badly,' she said. "(William) will take this very personally. There is a lot of anger and resentment swirling around." [As William's friends say, hopes for reconciliation are being increasingly dashed. There is sadness over his current situation with his brother ... [and] a memoir is forthcoming."
"The story of the Penguins is a story of the loss of a man who had been a victim of the war.
The memoir was paid $20 million by Penguin Random House. Another close friend of William's says, simply, "The whole thing is crazy."
