PanThe Los Angeles TimesPrince Harry spills more British tea than a certain band of revolutionaries did 250 years ago ... When it comes to juicy anecdotes, Spare is anything but: No tidbit is too salacious, too trifling or too controversial to make the cut ... For all his anguished soul-bearing and scandalous confessing, though, Harry can’t bring himself to identify, much less condemn, the real source of his woes: the monarchy itself. As I eagerly gobbled up every gossipy morsel about wedding seating Harry was willing to share, I kept waiting for him to go there and critique the institution that fostered such wild entitlement and bitter resentment in the first place ... The pettiness described in Spare is staggering.
