When Prince Harry announced he would be writing a memoir, even before its contents had began to be leaked, no one doubted the strong focus the book would have on his mother, Princess Diana.
Now, as Harry begins a round of promotional interviews to get people talking about Spare before its release, it has become clear that Diana is at the front and centre of his mind and work.
In a preview for his interview with Good Morning America, which will air on Monday 9 January at 7am EST on GMA, Harry revealed what he believes his late mother would think of his current relationship with his brother, Prince William.

In the preview, GMA host Michael Strahan asked Harry, "How would your mum feel about your relationship with your brother?"
Harry paused for a moment before replying, "I think she would be sad. I think she would be looking at it long term to know that there are certain things we need to go through to be able to heal the relationship."
"I have felt the presence of my mum more so in the last two years than I have in the last 30," he added.

In another preview for the same interview, Strahan, who had been given early access to read Prince Harry's book, quoted from the memoir. He picked a passage where Harry described Prince William as his "beloved brother" and "archnemesis," and asked Harry to elaborate on his meaning.
"Strong words. What did you mean by that?" the interviewer asked. "There has always been this competition between us, weirdly," Harry replied. "I think it really plays into, or was played by, the 'heir/spare.' "
