Prince Harry has insisted his “conscience is clear” as signs of reconciliation with King Charles and the Royal Family seem closer than ever.
During his recent four-day visit to the UK, which included his first meeting with his father in 19 months, the Duke of Sussex strongly defended his actions since stepping away from royal duties with Meghan Markle in 2020—particularly his controversial memoir, Spare.
Defending Spare
Following his UK trip, Harry made an unannounced visit to Ukraine, where he supported veteran rehabilitation programs and spoke candidly about his family. He described Spare as an essential “correction” of the public record.
“It was a series of corrections to stories already out there. One point of view had been put out and it needed to be corrected,” Harry explained.
He firmly denied that the book was about exposing family secrets. “It was a difficult message, but I did it in the best way possible. My conscience is clear,” he said.

“Not Revenge, But Accountability”
In the memoir, published in 2023, Harry shared painful accounts of family conflicts, including strained ties with Prince William. He defended his decision by telling The Guardian: “It is not about revenge, it is about accountability.”
