Did Harry have to ‘sex up’ book for publishers?

PRINCE Harry’s publishers sent his book back for revisions several times, it was reported yesterday – sparking fears it may have been ‘sexed up’.

Sources close to the Duke of Sussex, 38, have said he wrote his controversial memoir for himself as he could not spend his life trying to make his family happy.

The comments are likely to raise fresh fears among the Royal Family that Harry will go even further in his criticisms of the King, his brother and his stepmother.

The book will be called Spare – a ‘loaded’ reference to his position as the younger brother of the heir to the throne.

It was described by insiders yesterday as a ‘beautiful read’ and a tale of family idiosyncrasies and struggles with which readers from all walks of life will identify. One source insisted it was not a ‘takedown of his family’, telling The Sunday Telegraph: ‘You can’t kind of always live your life trying to make your family or your siblings happy. You have to choose your own happiness.’

The long-awaited memoir – billed as a work of ‘raw, unflinching honesty’ – will finally be released in January after publication was delayed.

It has now been reported that the postponement was because Harry was asked to ‘revisit’ several aspects. A source told The Sun on Sunday: ‘There has been extra to-ing and fro-ing that people don’t know about. This is because the publishers wanted more areas covered and more detail on some things that were already included.

‘There is a real concern that means Harry has had to sex up the book and include revelations that even he might not be that comfortable with.’

Publishers Penguin Random House declined to comment.
