• Prince Harry's story has been dominated by his rivalry with older brother Prince William and the death of mother Princess Diana in 1997

After months of anticipation, Prince Harry's controversial autobiography "Spare" is finally out on the streets of Britain for sale, threatening further embarrassment for the royal family. In 1992, Harry's mother Princess Diana, along with Andrew Morton for "Diana: Her True Story", called it the greatest royal book ever. However, before the final sale, the contents of the ghost-written memoir were accidentally leaked after a copy went on sale early in Spain. Prince Harry's memoir will be available in 16 languages and as an audiobook.

According to the leak, the book includes a personal account of the feud between the two brothers, how Prince Harry lost his virginity, the killing of 25 Afghans, and more.

Here are five revelations from Prince Harry's memoir Spare:

• The book begins with a quote from the American author William Faulkner: “The past never dies. It's not even the past."

• Harry's story has been dominated by his rivalry with older brother Prince William and the death of mother Princess Diana in 1997. ,

• Harry said he only "cried once" after Diana died, and felt guilty for being unable to express his sadness as he greeted the crowd of mourners, whose hands were wet with tears.

• She also later talked about looking up the route Diana's car took before she crashed, asking a driver to take her through a road tunnel in Paris at the same speed.

• The book focuses on her combative relationship with William, saying her older brother physically attacked her as they argued over Meghan.

• The prince also criticized Charles' second wife and now queen consort in the book.

• He wrote that after Diana's death, Camilla "began to play the long game: a campaign aimed at marriage and eventually the crown".

• In his memoir, "Spare," Harry says he killed more than two dozen Taliban militants while serving as an Apache helicopter co-pilot gunner in Afghanistan in 2012-2013. The heat of battle treated enemy combatants as pieces being removed from a chessboard, "eliminating the baddies before they could kill the goodies," writes Prince.

• Harry tells how he lost his virginity at the age of 17 - to an old woman in a field behind a pub. It was, he says, a "humiliating episode".

• He also says that he has taken cocaine several times since that age "to feel up". To fall apart." He also admits to using cannabis and magic mushrooms - which caused him to hallucinate that a toilet was talking to him.

• In the final pages, Harry describes how he and William walked side by side during Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in September but barely uttered a word to each other. "The next day, Meg and I returned to the United States," he says.
