Prince Harry's memoir Spare handed once again title he may not be happy with | Royal | News




Prince Harry's controversial memoir Spare has been handed a title that he may not be happy with for the second year running, it has been revealed.

Despite being named the fastest-selling book in history upon its release in early 2023, Spare was named the most-traded-in autobiography last year - and this title has been given to the controversial read for the second year running.

The website We Buy Books has revealed that Spare has, once again, topped their list in 2024. This means that even more people have traded in the book compared to last year.

A spokesperson from the site commented: "For the second year running, Prince Harry's Spare is the most traded-in biography of 2024. This year, we purchased a total of 567 copies."

According to OK!, those who are looking to trade in their copy of Spare can get £3.77 from the site - with the memoir still on sale in Waterstones for £8.99.

Originally hitting shelves in January 2023, the book included several claims, such as Prince William calling Meghan Markle 'difficult', 'rude', and 'abrasive' - as well as the allegation that the Duke of Sussex's father had barred Meghan from joining Harry in Scotland during the Queen's final moments.

Almost two years after its original release, the paperback version of the book was released worldwide earlier this autumn. Despite the new format, the book contained no new revelations and the contents remained the same as the digital and hardback copies. The paperback edition was launched on October 22 in the US - and two days later in the UK.

As reported back in October, Harry reportedly made up to £22 million ($27 million) upon the original release of his memoir Spare.

As reported by the Mail, bestselling author Richard Osman spoke of Harry's likely payout - despite, at the time, Spare only being available in hardback.

Speaking on his podcast The Rest is Entertainment, Richard said: "The book that [Prince] Harry wrote, it's impossible to overestimate how much money that has made.

"I mean, it's been one of the most successful books. The fastest selling non-fiction book of all time."
