No matter the semantics, the debate is basically over the likelihood that Spare could heighten tensions between the two royal brothers, especially since in the book, Harry alleges that William physically attacked him in 2019, per NBC News.

Among the shocking accusations in the account are when Harry writes about their altercation that the heir apparent knocked him to the ground, with the royal recalling, “I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me." Meghan later saw “scrapes and bruises” on her husband's back.

Spare is in stores on Jan. 10, 2023.
