Prince Harry confirms huge sums that will go to charity from Spare memoir profit
Prince Harry has revealed the poignant way he will use the proceeds from his upcoming memoir, Spare
Prince Harry has announced that a large portion of proceeds from his Spare memoir will be donated to charities close to his heart.
- Following the title and cover reveal of Harry’s controversial memoir, a spokesperson for Penguin Random House has shared how he will use the profits.
- A large portion of Harry’s share will be split between two charities, one of which has a special link to his mother, Princess Diana.
- This royal news comes after sources suggest that Kate Middleton could be given this 'unprecedented' role by King Charles in a break from royal tradition.
Following the long-awaited release date announcement of Prince Harry’s bombshell memoir, titled 'Spare', a spokesperson from publisher Penguin Random House has announced the Duke’s plan for its proceeds.
Despite reports that Prince Harry was ‘panicked’ and scrambling to make last-minute edits to his book, it is now set to hit the shelves on January 10th, 2023 - with Penguin describing Harry’s account as ‘raw, unflinching honesty.’
The memoir came as part of a series of deals Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle signed after stepping down as senior royals, with a spokesperson now sharing what Harry intends to do with his portion of the proceeds.
On 10 January 2023, readers everywhere will be part of a landmark publication: the story of Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex. Personal and emotionally powerful, SPARE will be published by @transworldbooks, supporting two special charities. Details at https://t.co/3y6Vh4WRbx. pic.twitter.com/r3yXdWdt6KOctober 27, 2022
The statement read, “The Duke of Sussex has donated $1,500,000 to Sentebale, an organization he founded with Prince Seeiso in their mothers’ legacies, which supports vulnerable children and young people in Lesotho and Botswana affected by HIV/AIDS.”
They then also revealed that a further £300,000 will be donated to the non-profit organization WellChild, of which Harry is a patron. WellChild works to make it possible for children and young people with complex health issues to be supported and cared for at home, rather than at the hospital.
