Actually, the much-heralded memoirs of the Duke of Sussex should storm the book market this year and take the Christmas business with them. But just before the start of the last quarter of 2022, the publisher postponed the release date. Now Prince Harry’s book will be released on January 10, 2023. It will be called “Spare”, which means something like “reserve” and will tell the story of the king’s son through his eyes.
The pre-orders for the book have been running hot since last week. Although the lines won’t be available for purchase for months, the Prince’s book has already topped the Amazon charts in the UK and US. In Canada, the presale reached number two in the charts. The forthcoming audio version of the book will voice Prince Harry himself, though narrator Emily Woo Zeller warned, “Taking words from a page and making them sound like dialogue is a skill. I don’t know if Harry has that skill. “
A source close to the prince told the British news portal “The Telegraph” that the Duke of Sussex wrote his controversial memoirs primarily for himself and not to harm his family. But according to reports, things went back and forth between Prince Harry, the ghostwriter and the publisher a number of times, and in the end the prince is said to have asked for more detail about some of the events.
Due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the release date is said to have been pushed back by a few weeks. It is said that the prince still wanted to make short-term adjustments. In insider circles there is talk of “mitigation”. But according to “People Magazin”, additions are said to have found their way into the memoirs. The death of his beloved grandmother should now also be part of the long-awaited royal document.
Prince Harry was said to have had a close relationship with his granny. After the death of the monarch of the century, royal experts also suspect that the rift between the Sussexes and the British royal family could continue to expand without Queen Elizabeth II.
