Prince Harry tell-all memoir does not bode well for reconciliation hopes

Netflix series, memoir and ITV interview reveal Harry has ammunition on William and is prepared to use it

If the Duke of Sussex's hopes are for an early reconciliation with his family, his wishes seem unlikely to be fulfilled anytime soon, judging from extracts published from his tell-all memoir, Spare, due out on Tuesday.

The dramatic scenario Harry describes, with his brother William, now Prince of Wales, allegedly physically attacking him and knocking him to the floor in a furious row over the Duchess of Sussex, is startling. It shows, despite the six-hour Netflix documentary series, Harry still has the ammunition; that he is happy to take aim at his family and the institution; and that he is capable of inflicting deep wounds that may take some time, if ever, to heal.
