Prince Harry plans to add explosive chapters to paperback version of memoir Spare, claims insider

Prince Harry is rumoured to be adding extra bonus chapters to the paperback version of his controversial tell-all memoir Spare.

The extra details are being awaited with baited breath by royal watchers after it was said the book was heavily edited before its official release earlier this year. And a lot has come to light since then report the Express.

"Prince Harry is already planning to add at least one new chapter … to the paperback version … out later this year or early next, when the hardcover sales have ended," a source told US gossip publication PageSix.

The insider added: "Readers are eager to know [Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle's] feelings about the royal backlash they have suffered after the airing of their Netflix docu-series, and the publication of Spare."

Random House released the hardcover version of the memoir in January with the book soaring to the top of the charts worldwide. The audio version was narrated by Harry himself, with the project putting the royal rift between Harry and the rest of the Royal Firm squarely in the spotlight.

But the publishing house is yet to reply to a request to comment about the plans for more revelations, and one of Harry's representatives has denied other chapters are forthcoming, saying "that’s not true", when asked for comment.

At the time of publication Harry shared some of the material intended for the book did not make the cut, he said: "There are some things that have happened, especially between me and my brother, and to some extent between me and my father, that I just don't want the world to know … Because I don’t think they would ever forgive me."

It comes as Harry continues to ramp up his promotion of the memoir. The royal announced he will be holding an "intimate" livestream conversation and Q&A to promote the bombshell tome.

The Duke of Sussex will appear at the virtual event hosted by his book's publisher, Penguin Random House, next Saturday, March 4 5pm GMT on vimeo.

He is set to have an "intimate conversation as they discuss living with loss and the importance of personal healing," according to the publisher.

Harry's ghost-written tell-all autobiography laid bare his frustrations with his family.

He claimed his brother William, now the Prince of Wales, had knocked him to the floor at Harry's then home Nottingham Cottage after calling the Duchess of Sussex "difficult", "rude" and "abrasive".

The duke claimed his father, now the King, put his own interests above Harry's and was jealous of Meghan and the Princess of Wales, and that the Queen Consort sacrificed him on "her personal PR altar".
