What more is there to tell you about Prince Harry’s memoir? The dog bowl fisticuffs, the frostbitten penis, the stallion sex behind the Frog and Firkin – every detail of Spare has been mined. All that is left are the tiny details of royal life. Luckily, they can be entertaining, such as the moment Harry opened a Christmas present from Princess Margaret. She gave him a Biro.

This book is not the raging whinge-fest you might expect after watching Harry’s recent round of television interviews, or the Harry & Meghan documentary on Netflix. His ghostwriter, J.R. Moehringer, has done a very good job of making his subject seem like the sane one in the story, which is not necessarily the impression gained from Harry’s sit-down with Tom Bradby this week.
