Prince Harry Considers Bringing 'Spare' to the Screen
Prince Harry is exploring a cinematic adaptation of his memoir, "Spare," released globally in January 2023, according to insider reports.
Holding exclusive control over the film, television, and stage rights, Harry's memoir set records as the fastest-selling nonfiction book on its release day. The memoir's content, which includes detailed accounts of his strained relationship with Prince William and his military experiences in Afghanistan, garnered widespread attention.
Reports from The Mail highlight that Harry's strategic hold over these rights ensures he alone can greenlight any dramatization of "Spare," thereby maintaining control over its narrative. This control likely serves to protect the portrayal of his late mother, Princess Diana, and his wife, Meghan Markle, from unauthorized interpretations.
While it is yet unclear if a film or stage adaptation is imminent, Prince Harry's significant partnership with Netflix, established in 2020 after stepping back from royal duties, positions him well for such a project.
Currently, Harry is producing a series that delves into the world of professional polo, a sport close to his heart, with much of the filming taking place at the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida. This project provides an intimate look at Harry's lifelong passion for polo, shared with his brother, Prince William.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle is set to release a documentary celebrating cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship, showcasing her diverse interests and talents.
