Prince Harry has said that he won’t write a sequel to his blockbuster tell-all “Spare” — but sources tell Page Six there is buzz that he may pen a bonus chapter to be included in the book’s paperback release.
Said an insider: “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.”
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 doc, and the publication of ‘Spare’.”
Random House released the hardcover version of the book on Jan. 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 has also intimated he wouldn’t publish a follow up out of respect for his brother, Prince William, and dad, King Charles III.
He reportedly said in an interview on the book’s release last month, “It could have been two books, put it that way. And the hard bit was taking things out.”
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 the Markle and the former royal.
