Prince Harry is set to reveal more about his “explosive” memoir in a new TV interview - and it will be "tough" for his brother Prince William, a Royal source has revealed.
Harry is to discuss his upcoming book - Spare - with US talkshow host Anderson Cooper on his show 60 Minutes next Sunday, MirrorOnline reports. This interview, his first American appearance to promote the book, will also be streamed on Paramount Plus. This comes as millions of royal fans worldwide count down the days until the Duke of Sussex's memoir is published on January 10.
The show’s official Twitter account said in a post: “Anderson Cooper will interview Prince Harry on 60 Minutes next Sunday, January 8, on CBS. It will be Prince Harry's first U.S. television interview to discuss his upcoming memoir "Spare."

And on a TV ad promoting the special episode, a voiceover calls the interview "revealing". The Duke follows his father, the King, who gave an interview to 60 Minutes in 2005 and his grandfather, the late Prince Philip, in 1981.
The revelation is sure to give Buckingham Palace an early New Year headache ahead of the publication of the memoir. Some on Twitter were unimpressed with the announcement, following so soon from the Duke and Duchesses’ Netflix series.
One said: “Seems like he wants to stay stuck in the past. I mean Oprah, the Netflix documentary, this interview and a book in less than two years. “Seems like a lot to share somewhat of the same story over and over.”
Another simply said: “Pass.”
But some revealed they were looking forward to the chat, with one saying: “Happy for him to be able to give his own information on his own life. True self-care.”
More revelations from the bombshell book were leaked over the weekend, and it seems the Royal Family may need to brace themselves for more shocking claims in 2023.
However a new trailer for an ITV interview the Duke has conducted with Tom Bradby, also set to air ahead of his book's publication, Prince Harry is heard saying he "would like my to get my father back" and "would like to have my brother back", Sky News reports.
While the Royal Family and their fans have been braced for a new batch of bombshells once the book is out, one source to have already read the book has claimed that it is William and Kate, the Prince and Princess of Wales, who need to brace for the worst.
While Harry is expected to be “tough” on William, and will also “lash out” at Kate, he has reportedly been kinder than expected on King Charles. The source told The Sunday Times: “Generally, I think the book [will be] worse for them than the royal family is expecting.
“Everything is laid bare. Charles comes out of it better than I had expected, but it’s tough on William, in particular, and even Kate gets a bit of a broadside. There are these minute details, and a description of the fight between the brothers. I personally can’t see how Harry and William will be able to reconcile after this.”
The source goes on to declare that the book gives the impression that Harry is still struggling to get over the death of his mother, the late Lady Diana who died in a car accident in 1997 aged 36.
