        Spare




        By Prince Harry
        It was one of the most searing images
        of the twentieth century: two young
        boys, two princes, walking behind
        their mother's coffin as the world
        watched in sorrow - and horror. As Di-
        ana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest,
        billions wondered what the princes
        must be thinking and feeling - and
        how their lives would play out from
        that point on.
        For Harry, this is that story at last. With
        its raw, unflinching honesty, Spare is
        a landmark publication full of insight,
        revelation, self-examination, and
        hard-won wisdom about the eternal
        power of love over grief. Prince Harry
        wishes to support British charities
        with donations from his proceeds
        from Spare.
