EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: What’s in store for Prince Harry after the publication of Spare?

Eighteen months after the publication of Prince Harry’s Spare, there is still no trace of the paperback version.

Publishers are usually quick to bring such a book to market, especially if they can promote it as containing “sensational” new material.

But it seems that Harry has no new excitement to offer. His family has kept him at arm’s length, knowing that anything they say could be recorded and used as evidence against them.

The only exclusive stories Harry could tell were about his view of the coronation from Aunt Anne’s plumed hat and how he quickly stopped at Buck House to use the toilet on the way to Heathrow.

Too much information, Harry?

Linford’s other reason for fame

After Linford Christie won gold in the 100 metres at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, ​​he was plagued by the burden of his masculinity, which he referred to as ‘Linford’s Lunchbox’.

“The day after I won the Olympics, they were talking about how big my dick was,” he says in an upcoming BBC documentary.

‘I found it derogatory and racist. That story made women think it was okay to grab my dick.’

He admits it still rankles, adding: ‘The lunchbox thing haunted me for years. I had to carry a heavy burden, which was that I was more famous for my genitals than my athletic achievements.’

It’s time for Jill to be honest

“Elizabeth was brave when she gave what she called ‘candid notes’ to her husbands, Rex Harrison and Richard Harris, when she saw them perform,” he says.

‘They were not always happy when they received criticism in her notes for forgetting their lines.

“I hope Jill Biden would now imitate Elizabeth’s candor.”
