In his revealing memoir Spare, Prince Harry shared that Meghan Markle was asked to apologize to Kate Middleton over a comment made up of just two words.

Released in January 2023, Spare took the world by surprise. At 40, Harry opened up like never before in the candid, nonfiction book published by Penguin Random House.

The memoir, which became a Sunday Times bestseller, was ghostwritten by J.R. Moehringer, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author whose previous work has inspired major films starring the likes of Samuel L. Jackson, George Clooney, and Ben Affleck.

Across 416 pages, Spare gave the Duke of Sussex a platform to share his personal perspective on the Royal Family — including honest reflections on his older brother Prince William, his father King Charles III, and his late mother, Princess Diana.

Among the most talked-about moments in the book, Harry described a physical confrontation with William, and revealed that his father would sometimes joke that Harry might not be his biological son.

In his memoir Spare, Harry also made another explosive claim — that Meghan had supposedly upset Kate Middleton with a comment she made shortly before their 2018 wedding at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.

He explained that he and Meghan had gone to visit William and Kate in hopes of “clearing the air” between the two couples.
