Today marks the paperback release of “Spare” – the tell all biography written by the Duke of Sussex.

It’s now been some years since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their decision to step back as working members of the Royal family. Now that the dust – to at least some extent – has settled – it’s possible to review that decision, and the controversies that followed with an open mind and a level head. During this two-part podcast, this is what we have tried to do.

In part 2, Royal commentator James Taylor and history writer Gareth Streeter discuss:

  • The Netflix series and the background (as far as we understand it) of the deal
  • The treatment of the Duchess of Sussex in aspects of the UK media and how this compares with the way the Princess of Wales is discussed
  • The importance of source criticism in dealing with any media
  • The book Spare, and why Gareth got too angry to finish it
  • Harry’s bravery and honesty in being vulnerable about his mental health
  • The book’s strengths and weaknesses
