Prince Harry Defends Memoir Amid Royal Rift, Visits Kyiv

Prince Harry has defended his 2023 memoir Spare, insisting that he has a "clear conscience" and did not air "dirty laundry" in public but rather offered a series of corrections to previously told stories about the royal family. Speaking during a recent visit to Kyiv and after a reunion with his father, King Charles III, Harry emphasized that his book was about accountability, not revenge, and acknowledged that his openness annoyed some people and went against the prevailing narrative. Following their first face-to-face meeting in over a year, Harry expressed a desire to spend more time in the UK and focus on mending his relationship with his father, who has been undergoing cancer treatment. During his Kyiv visit with the Invictus Games Foundation, Harry paid tribute to the resilience of families affected by the war and shared advice for those leaving military service. Despite tensions within the royal family following previous public disclosures, including the Oprah Winfrey interview and the Netflix series, Harry maintains that his difficult message was delivered in the best possible way and is committed to accountability. Meanwhile, Prince William has not commented on Harry's recent UK visit, and the brothers did not meet, reportedly due to concerns about private conversations becoming public.
