BBC World Service - BBC OS, Prince Harry's memoir

Several claims and accusations from Prince Harry's autobiography, Spare, have been leaked

The Duke of Sussex's book outlines grievances and bitterness in the Royal Family. Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace have both said they will not comment. We'll hear from a reporter who's read the book and hear from members of the Commonwealth nations for their views on the memoir and its revelations. 

We hear from our reporter on board a rescue boat in the Mediterranean sea with our reporter who has been embedded with the crew, as they pick up migrants making the dangerous journey to Europe. This week charities have complained that a decree adopted by Italy's new right-wing government will limit their rescue capacity.

The BBC's Africa correspondent Anne Soy updates us as police in Kenya are investigating the death of a young fashion designer and LGBTQ+ activist - Edwin Chiloba.

And we go to Ukraine – where a unilateral ceasefire called by Russia has broken down within hours of coming into effect. President Putin ordered the thirty-six hour pause in fighting, to coincide with the Orthodox Christmas, which is celebrated in both countries. As the ceasefire fails, we hear how families in Ukraine will be celebrating Christmas.
