Prince Harry urged his father not to marry "the other woman" years after Diana's death.

The youngest son of King Carlos remembers how he feared that Camilla would become "the evil stepmother" and that

when they were introduced he closed his eyes, "like when they give you an injection", so as not to feel the sting.

It is one of the juiciest revelations of

En la sombra

(Plaza & Janés), Harry's autobiography that will be released on Tuesday in 16 countries.

The original title in English,

Spare

,

can be literally translated as "Spare",

the feeling that best defines what Harry felt since his birth and in comparison with his older brother, Guillermo, whom he accused for the first time of physically assault him.

It happened after Harry and Meghan's brand new wedding at Windsor Castle.

Guillermo confronted his little brother at Nottingham Cottage, where he lived in 2019. He started yelling at her and criticizing Meghan as

"a difficult, rude and abrasive woman".

Harry tossed her a glass of water to clear her temper.

And that's when the fight started, like when they were kids...

"Guillermo grabbed me by the neck, broke my pendant and threw me to the ground.

I landed next to the dog's bowl, which broke under my weight and I could feel the cuts on my back. I stayed like that for a few moments, got up and told him to leave. He came back after a while, repentant, and asked my forgiveness".

The combat between the heirs to the British crown, recreated these days on social networks, has been the noisy preview of Harry's autobiography.

The title makes a very direct reference to what his father supposedly said to Princess Diana to celebrate his birth 38 years ago:

"Great! You have given me an heir and a spare... I have already fulfilled with my job".

The resentment toward King Charles is more than palpable in the pages of

In the Shadows

, written hand-in-hand with novelist, journalist, and Pulitzer Prize winner JR Moehringer.

Beyond the frustrating relationship with Diana and her reaction to her death,

Harry reproaches his father for not knowing how to protect his children after the traumatic experience

and having followed the mantra of the royals: "Never complain, never explain" ("never complain, never explain").

"My mother had just died and I had to walk (at the age of 12) behind her coffin,

surrounded by thousands of people and with millions watching on television. I don't think any child should be forced to do what I did, under no circumstances."

King Carlos comes out relatively well, however, compared to Guillermo, whom he also associates with Kate for having advised him to dress up as a Nazi.

Harry dedicates his most emotional words to Elizabeth II and extols the role of the queen, although he veiledly criticizes the decision to put "the institution before the family" when justifying the Megxit.

"It didn't have to be like that," he laments in the interview

that ITV will broadcast this weekend, in which he expresses his desire to make peace with his father and his brother.

WAR DECLARATION

But the publication of

In the Shadows

is more of a renewed declaration of family war, in which Harry once again accuses Buckingham Palace of leaking and dripping stories against him into the tabloids and leaving him and his wife totally unprotected in contrast with the armoring of William and Kate...

"There comes a point where silence equals betrayal."

The book is also interpreted as a personal revenge, with a point of revenge, on his older brother.

In the Netflix series, he came to accuse Guillermo of yelling and insulting him,

but he had never revealed before that they came into his hands,

let alone that he suffered back injuries as a result of physical aggression.

"You don't have to tell your wife,"

Harry says that Guillermo suggested after the fight.

"Don't I have to tell him that you have assaulted me?"

"I have not attacked you," replied the older man.

But Meghan herself was able to verify days later her bruises and scratches on her husband's back: "She was not surprised, not even angry. Although she was deeply sad."

According to Penguin Random House, the Duke of Sussex has donated part of the proceeds from his autobiography to charities such as Senteable (1.4 million euros) and WellChild (340,000 euros).

It is estimated that Harry and Meghan may have reached an agreement of up to 19 million

euros for the publication of about four books.
