Prince Harry has revealed that he has enough material to publish a second memoir and has deleted almost half of the material he had written in a first draft.
The Duke of Sussex said The Telegraph he chose to omit several bombs because he was concerned that his father and brother would never “forgive” him.
‘The first draft was different. They were 800 pages, and now they have been reduced to 400 pages. It could have been two books, so to speak. And the hard part was getting things out.
“There are some things that have happened, especially between me and my brother, and to a certain extent between me and my father, that I just don’t want the world to know about. Because I don’t think they’ll ever forgive me.

The Duke of Sussex told The Telegraph that he opted to shelve several bombs because he was concerned that his father and brother would “never forgive” him.
Harry also revealed that his motivation for speaking out so publicly against the Firm is ultimately to “save [his family] themselves’.
He detailed plans to derail the relationship between the royal family and the press, expressing his belief that doing so can protect future divisions in the family.
After the dust settled, he expressed hope that he and Meghan can reconnect with their family, even if they don’t particularly like his decision to share “his truth.”
He also hopes he has paved the way for other “spares” in the line of succession, namely Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, to find their own path and sense of purpose outside of their ranking in the order of succession.
The news that there is enough content for a second book will no doubt set alarm bells ringing in the royal fold after the recent spate of smears.
In his Spare memoirs and in various interviews to promote them, Harry has made far-reaching and damaging accusations against his closest relatives.

The Duke of Sussex launched an attempted charm offensive this week, appearing on American talk shows mocking royal etiquette to promote his best-selling memoir, Spare.
He claimed that William attacked him, that the king and queen consort leaked stories to the press to enhance their own profiles and, in what was described as an “own goal”, angered the Taliban after revealing that he had killed 25 of them during their tours of Afghanistan.
It’s no longer clear if the rift between Harry and his family can be healed, without the added pressure of a second memory hanging on the Firm’s shoulders.
Prince William is said to be devastated by the light Harry has painted him in, while the King is reconsidering his earlier wish to extend an invitation to the Sussexes for his coronation in 16 weeks’ time.
Harry was reportedly warned not to “cross the line” by trash-talking Camilla, and yet she was described in the book as a “villain” who needed to “rehabilitate her image.”
His family has reportedly been shocked and hurt by the level of detail he has released to the public about their lives.
Speaking to ITV’s News at Ten presenter Tom Bradby, Harry said he would be open to reconciliation and even return to a partial royal role, on the condition that he could have ‘frank’ talks with his family that would be kept private. .
I don’t know if they’re watching this [interview] or not, but what they have to say to me and what I have to tell them will be in private, and I hope that I can continue like this,” he said, noting that he does not want “frank discussions [to] leak out’.
The comments have been labeled ironic given all the private moments Harry has shared in his memoir.
A royal source told The Mirror: “The irony is there for everyone to see, apart from Harry himself it seems.”
‘There was very little [trust] before these last scenes, but there’s no confidence left at all for Harry to be brought into the fold.’
It is understood that the royal family is unlikely to comment publicly on any of the allegations against them.
But even discussing matters in private may be off the table for senior royals who fear that any conversation they have with Harry could be used against him in the future.
Harry told The Late Show that he and Meghan were ‘forced’ to flee ‘our home country’ of Britain for ‘beautiful California’ due to ‘abuse and harassment’.
He then said, “We’ve created a fantastic life here in California, which is beautiful by the way, and America is a great place to live,” before clinking glasses with Colbert.
