Prince Harry didn't hold back when discussing his father, King Charles III, in his new memoir, 'Spare' — his biggest bombshells.

According to Harry, his own father — and occasionally Elizabeth and Philip — would call him "the spare" to his face. "And the key piece of that story that made me aware that the contents of the letter between me and my father had been leaked was that we were willing to relinquish our Sussex titles. The approach was an attempt to "bolster" Charles' reputation, Harry noted.

"Whatever bitterness or sorrow we felt over the closing of another loop in Mummy’s story, we understood that it was besides the point," he added. “We recognized that he was finally going to be with the woman he loved, the woman he’d always loved, the woman Fate might’ve intended for him in the first place.” Harry went on to say that multiple delays in the ceremony made him feel like his mother was “blocking rather than blessing their union” after her death. “It became clear that the institution leaked the fact that we were going to be moving back to Canada," Harry said, referring to the period in late 2019 when he and Meghan, 41, were figuring out their next steps. “He was seething actually,” Harry wrote of his brother, noting that Charles and Camilla, 75, weren’t “technically” responsible for the leaks. “It became clear that the institution leaked the fact that we were going to be moving back to Canada,” Harry said, referring to the period in late 2019 when he and Meghan, 41, were figuring out their next steps. At the time, Harry claimed that his father had stopped taking his calls. The Prince of Wales, 40, was particularly "upset" in 2019 when he called Harry to discuss how someone on Charles and Queen Camilla's communications team was planting stories about William, Princess Kate and their children Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4.
