The Duke of Sussex previously told PEOPLE that his memoir was “raw account” of “the good, the bad and everything in between”
Prince Harry’s memoir Spare is hitting shelves in a new format this fall.
On Aug. 27, Penguin Random House announced that the Duke of Sussex’s book will be published in paperback in the U.S. on Oct. 22. The Bookseller reported that the book will be published in paperback in the U.K. on Oct. 24.
While it’s common for paperback editions of books to feature new chapters or additional information, Penguin Random House confirmed the contents of the paperback are “unchanged.” The decision not to include anything new is widely being viewed as a step towards reconciliation with the royal family.
Spare’s paperback publication dates may coincide with King Charles and Queen Camilla’s upcoming tour of Australia and Samoa later this year. Buckingham Palace announced in July that the King and Queen would visit the countries this fall, and Samoa will host the Commonwealth Head of Government Meeting from Oct. 21 to Oct. 26.
King Charles, 75, is head of the Commonwealth, and the meeting would be a key opportunity for him to make an appearance during the first tour of Commonwealth countries of his reign, which began in September 2022.
Prince Harry’s relationships with his father, the King, and his brother, Prince William, have remained strained following his step back from his royal role in the U.K. with his wife, Meghan Markle, in 2020, and their move to her home state of California. Trust continued to be a concern following the release of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan in December 2022 and the publication of Spare just one month later in January 2023.
Penguin Random House said that Spare’s paperback will have the same cover as the hardcover version but will feature a “newly designed package” and will be issued in a total of 16 languages worldwide. The paperback is being released by Random House US and Random House Canada in North America and Transworld in the U.K.
Spare became an instant bestseller when it was published on Jan. 10, 2023, selling over 6 million copies around the world and earning the Guinness World Record for the fastest-selling nonfiction book of all time, the publisher said.
Exclusively speaking to PEOPLE about Spare’s release, Prince Harry, now 39, described his memoir as a “raw account” of “the good, the bad and everything in between.”
“I don’t want to tell anyone what to think of it and that includes my family,” the Duke of Sussex said. “This book and its truths are in many ways a continuation of my own mental health journey. It’s a raw account of my life.”
He added, “My hope has been to turn my pain into purpose, so if sharing my experience makes a positive difference in someone’s life, well, I can’t think of anything more rewarding than that!”
Divided into three parts, Spare looked back at Prince Harry’s royal childhood in the spotlight, including the 1997 death of his mother, Princess Diana, his career in the British Army and his courtship with Meghan.
