When questioned in an interview if the public can have faith in the monarchy following "allegations of fighting and betrayal at the top", UK prime minister Rishi Sunak responded "I think the public like me have enormous regard for the Royal Family, they're deeply proud of them... When I get to go around the world and champion Britain as an amazing country with so many things that we can be proud of, our institutions including the royal family are one of those." [109] Patti Davis, daughter of Nancy and Ronald Reagan, who had previously written a similar tell all book during her father's presidency, discouraged Harry, saying: "My justification in writing a book I now wish I hadn't written (…) was very similar to what I understand to be Harry's reasoning. I wanted to tell the truth, I wanted to set the record straight. Naïvely, I thought if I put my own feelings and my own truth out there for the world to read, my family might also come to understand me better."

Archived from the original on 5 January 2023 . Retrieved 5 January 2023. In February 2023, UK defence secretary Ben Wallace reacted to Harry's statements on an LBC radio programme and said "The armed forces is not about a tally. I frankly think boasting about tallies or talking about tallies … distorts the fact that the army is a team game." [100] The Prince and Princess of Wales were partly responsible, the book claims, for the row in 2005 after Prince Harry was photographed wearing a German Nazi uniform at a fancy dress party. He says he called for advice before the event and they told him to go in the costume, complete with swastika armband, adding that they howled with laughter, before photographs were sold to the press. 4. Taliban “kills”

Higgins, Charlotte (9 January 2023). "Spare by Prince Harry review – a flawed attempt to reclaim the narrative". The Guardian. Archived from the original on 10 January 2023 . Retrieved 11 January 2023. During the book launch interviews with US TV stations in New York, Harry was accompanied by someone who appeared to be carrying a pistol case. [93] In response to the criticism, Harry stated "expressing and detailing" his experience was necessary for his "healing journey", while "silence has been the least effective remedy". [94] He condemned pre-publication leaks that quoted the book out of context and denied "boasting" about his number of kills. [95] [96] Author and psychologist Jessica Taylor believed speaking openly about trauma could help with normalising and validating the feelings and experiences, adding that when it is done by people in the public eye in a non-medical and non-stigmatising way "it helps people to realise that their own responses to trauma are also normal, natural and justified." [97] I had no view of the royal family before. The news I’ve heard about Spare (I have not read it myself) seems to have confirmed what in retrospect should be obvious: telling a specific family that they were chosen by God to rule over the rest of us is completely insane. It is madness to me that the royal family is as popular as it is among the English public. The record-breaking memoir became the fastest selling non-fiction book ever, selling over 1.4 million copies on its day of release across the UK, US, and Canada.

Harry shares personal details about his youth, including taking drugs and losing his virginity to an older woman in a field behind a pub when he was 17 Colonel Tim Collins reacted to the revelations by stating "That's not how you behave in the army; it's not how we think. Harry has now turned against the other family, the military, that once embraced him, having trashed his birth family." [85] He added that Harry was "pursuing US identity politics and casting slurs or racism around where none exists." [85] Speaking to The Sunday Times, a former royal aide called into question Harry's account of how he chose a Nazi costume for a party, as he was one of the people responsible for handling the fallout and had spoken to Harry at the time. [128] He stated, "There was no mention to any advisers at the time that it was William and Kate's idea or they thought it was hilariously funny. That recollection did not exist at the time, contemporaneously." [128] Another friend called Harry's claim "bullshit" and added that it had nothing to do with William and Catherine. [128] In response to Harry's supposed resentment at not giving the best man speech at his brother's wedding reception, a close friend of the brothers said "Harry didn't want to be best man, he kept saying for months it should be Thomas and James because they were William's best mates."

It's not known whether Prince Harry gave his family a preview copy of Spare, but we doubt it. In a conversation with ITV's Tom Bradby, he said he didn't think his dad would read the book.
