"There are some things that have happened, especially between me and my brother, and to some extent between me and my father, that I just don’t want the world to know. Because I don’t think they would ever forgive me," Harry said in an interview with The Telegraph.

"Spare," which was released on Tuesday, included several explosive claims about the royal family, most notably that?William once physically attacked him during a heated argument between the brothers at Harry’s Nottingham?Cottage.

"The first draft was different. It was 800 pages, and now it’s down to 400 pages. It could have been two books, put it that way. And the hard bit was taking things out," he said, explaining that he had dozens of phone calls with his?ghostwriter?about editorial?cuts.

“初稿不一樣，本來(lái)是800頁(yè)，現(xiàn)在只剩400頁(yè)了。這么說(shuō)吧，《備胎》本可以做上下兩冊(cè)。最難的是刪減內(nèi)容。”他解釋說(shuō)，他和他的代筆者通了幾十個(gè)電話去討論編輯刪減的問(wèn)題。

Harry insisted that his book is not about trying to "collapse the monarchy – this is about trying to save them from themselves," adding he knows he will "get?crucified?by numerous people saying that."

哈里王子堅(jiān)稱(chēng)，他的書(shū)不是要試圖“瓦解君主制，而是試圖把（父親等王室親人）從他們自己手中拯救出來(lái)。”并補(bǔ)充說(shuō)道，他知道自己會(huì)被很多人這么說(shuō)（是為了瓦解君主制）而釘死在十字架上（類(lèi)似眾口鑠金）。

"I know that out of those three children, at least one will end up like me, the spare," he said. "And that hurts, it worries me," Harry said,?despite the fact that William "has made it very clear to me that his kids are not my responsibility."

哈利王子說(shuō)到：“我知道，在這三個(gè)孩子中，至少有一個(gè)會(huì)像我一樣，就是那個(gè)多余的孩子。”“這讓我很傷心，很擔(dān)心，”哈里說(shuō)，“盡管威廉已經(jīng)很清楚地告訴我，他的孩子不是我的責(zé)任。”

The royal also claimed that the British press have a "s--- tonne of dirt?about my family, I know they have, and they?sweep it under the carpet?for juicy stories about someone else."
