Prince Harry blasted by Eamonn Holmes as royal re-releases bombshell memoir: ‘Why would you buy it?!’
Prince Harry has been slammed for his latest bid to “make money”, by re-releasing his controversial memoir Spare.
The Duke sold over six million copies worldwide with his first release of the book, where he made outlandish claims about the Royal Family and his life behind the scenes.
Now the royal is releasing the memoir in paperback form without any updated or new passages, which sparked fury among the GB News panel.
Reacting to the announcement, host Eamonn Holmes questioned why fans would buy the book again if there was “no new content”.
Eamonn fumed: “But the whole thing is, it doesn’t make money if it’s not got new content.
“If it hasn’t got new content, why would you buy it? You had a chance to buy the hardback. Why would you buy the paper book?”
Offering his verdict on the rerelease, commentator Alex Armstrong suggested that the decision to not update the memoir could be a “sign that he is winding down” and doesn’t want to “upset the Royal Family any more”.
Armstrong told GB News: “Maybe it’s a sign that they’re starting to wind down. I could be talking utter nonsense here, but maybe they’re learning that they don’t want to keep upsetting the Royal family and they are not putting any more nonsense out.”
Commentator Clare Muldoon was also infuriated by the re-release, questioning why the Duke chose to sell the book in paper form if he is “not updating the content”.

Armstrong responded to Muldoon, suggesting that there could possibly be a “new book around the corner” by either Harry or Meghan.
Weighing in on the latest move from Prince Harry, host Isabel Webster claimed that the rerelease is simply just “to make money”, but argued that a lot of readers will “prefer a paperback version” of the book.
Isabel said: “I always prefer a paperback because they’re just less heavy. I hate a hardback.
“Does anyone else think that lying in bed with a giant hardback is really not enjoyable?”
Muldoon agreed, adding: “It’s very difficult to carry a hardback, it’s not very portable. Not very nice, no.”
Isabel joked: “Maybe just buy it because it’s more portable!”
The memoir will be re-released in October and is set to clash with King Charles’s appearance at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa.
The King is expected to be in Samoa between October 21 and October 25, with Harry’s paperback being published in the US on October 22 and the UK two days later.
