Prince Harry may add chapter to paperback of ‘Spare,’ insiders say

Reports are circulating that Prince Harry is planning to add an extra chapter with brand new details to the paperback edition of his bombshell memoir.

Prince Harry has said that he won’t write a sequel to his blockbuster tell-all Spare – but there is buzz that he may pen a bonus chapter to be included in the book’s paperback release.

“Prince Harry is already planning to add at least one new chapter … to the paperback version … out later this year or early next, when the hard cover sales have ended,” an insider told Page Six.

The source added that “readers are eager to know [Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle’s] feelings about the royal backlash they have suffered after the airing of their Netflix docu-series, and the publication of Spare”.

Random House released the hardcover version of the book on January 10, and Harry himself narrates an audio version. However, details of a paperback release have not yet been announced.

The publisher did not respond to a request for comment, and a rep for Harry huffily denied he’d be including any new chapters in a future edition, telling us via email when we asked for comment, “That’s not true.”

Then again, the California-based Duke of Sussex certainly has more than enough material left to add to the publication. He has said that his initial draft of the book came in at a whopping 800 pages, but that it was whittled down to about 400.

The book has shattered sales records as the fastest-selling nonfiction book of all time.

Harry also added of the material that did not make it to print: “There are some things that have happened, especially between me and my brother, and to some extent between me and my father, that I just don’t want the world to know … Because I don’t think they would ever forgive me.”

There is certainly plenty more to write about now, after the book’s whirlwind release and various royal controversies, including a recent South Park episode that mercilessly mocked Meghan and Harry.
