Prince Harry ‘unkind’ to attack King, Levin rages at ‘derogatory’ book

Prince Harry is due to see his memoir released on January 10, 2023 and has already faced criticism about picking the title Spare for his first foray into writing. Biographer Angela Levin, who shadowed the Duke of Sussex when writing his biography in 2018, questioned the royal’s decision to focus his attention on his past grievances with the Royal Family and the King rather than on his new family. Speaking to Sky News Australia, Ms Levin said: “It’s a tragedy that he’s used that title. Does he still feel like that, having left the Royal Family, found a woman he’s absolutely besotted by, got two children, an enormous house, all the freedom he wants?”What he’s doing is looking back and hanging on to it. What’s even worse in a small way is that the title in other countries around the world is ‘leftover’, as if he’s some sort of leftover on the plate.”I just think that’s the most hideous title and it’s nonsense – he was next popular to the Queen and he liked to muck about, to be a bit naughty, he was full of energy.”When I wrote his biography in 2018, he was just a live wire, fantastic with people of all ages, of all sorts so it sounds so derogatory to call yourself spare as if nobody wanted you.”And I asked the question, ‘does he want to be king?’ And I’m quite sure, 100 percent, he does not, he wants his freedom.”JUST IN: Harry ‘pleaded with pals and ex-lovers to open up on him for memoir’ – but ‘most said no’Prince Harry ‘so unkind’ to attack King – Levin rages as she weighs into ‘derogatory’ memoir Prince Harry was branded “so unkind” by Levin (Image: GETTY•SKY NEWS AUSTRALIA) Angela Levin insisted Prince Harry should focus on his life now (Image: SKY NEWS AUSTRALIA)She continued: “He wants to do what he wants to do when he wants.

It is one that could cause a great deal of damage to the Royal Family.”The tone of book, based on the title Spare and the front cover, looks to be very dark. It may well be the publishing equivalent of a grenade being thrown into Buckingham Palace.”He added: “The title of the book sets a resentful tone from the start. It will likely not be a book that will be full of hope and aspiration.”It could be a book filled with a lot of rage and the title is a reflection of that anger. The book’s title alone sends a massive negative signal.”
