As the paperback edition of Prince Harry's provocative memoir "Spare" hits shelves today, readers are once again immersed in the intimate details of the royal family that Harry first revealed when the book debuted in hardcover last January. Harry unleashed a torrent of allegations that shook the foundations of royal life and severely strained his relationships, particularly with his brother Prince William. With the family rift deeper than ever since Harry and wife Meghan Markle's decision to step back from royal duties in 2020, the new release of "Spare" in paperback form has roiled the waters of the monarchy once more. Here are seven of the most explosive revelations from Harry's tell-all book:
1. A Physical Altercation Between Harry and William: Harry recounted a heated argument with William in 2019 that arose from William calling Meghan "rude, difficult, and abrasive." Tensions escalated to the point where William allegedly "grabbed Harry by the collar" and pushed him, causing Harry to hit his head on a table and get a cut from a broken glass or plate. This altercation has severely damaged the brothers' relationship.

2. Mocking Harry's Nazi Costume: In a more lighthearted revelation, Harry shared that when he told William and Kate about wearing a Nazi costume to a party in 2005, they "howled with laughter" and teased that his outfit was "way more ridiculous." This showed a more playful rivalry between the brothers in their younger days.
3. Urging Charles Not to Marry Camilla: Both Harry and William asked their father not to wed Camilla Parker Bowles due to fears it would stir controversy and harm public perceptions. Charles married Camilla anyway in 2005 despite his sons' pleas.

5. Killing 25 Taliban Fighters: Harry's most controversial statement was admitting to killing 25 enemy fighters during his military service in Afghanistan, saying he did not feel pride but also no shame, as they were threats who needed to be eliminated.
