Introduction

Royals – the embodiment of extravagance, adorning crowns studded with never-seen-before-mammoth-diamonds and pigeon-egg sized emeralds, reigning from their majestic thrones, drowning in expensive regalia, and chauffeured around in luxury cars. That’s the world of the Royals. And then, there’s the British Royal Family. Even among the royals, they have a knack for splashing colors of drama, gossip and scandals on the otherwise heavily guarded gates of Buckingham Palace.

Love the royal family, hate them , or be neutral, but the memoir “Spare” by Prince Harry is going to reveal a new side to the stories.
