Prince Harry's memoir 'Spare' breaks UK sales record on first day of release


Meanwhile, Prince Harry's memoir 'Spare' has become the UK's fastest-selling non-fiction book ever, its publisher said on Tuesday. 


The publisher said that it had sold over 4,00,000 copies so far across hardback, e-book, and audio formats.


'Spare' has garnered attention around the world with its disclosures about Harry's personal struggles and its accusations about the British royal family, including his father King Charles, stepmother Camilla, and elder brother Prince William.


The book is the latest revelatory offering from Harry and his wife Meghan since they stepped down from royal duties in 2020 and moved to California to forge a new life, and follows their Netflix documentary last month.


In the book, Harry writes about his grief and growing up after the death of his mother Princess Diana when he was just 12, his use of cocaine and other drugs to cope, how he killed 25 people while serving as a soldier in Afghanistan, and even how he lost his virginity.


He also reveals a heated row with William saying how his elder brother knocked him over, and how they had both begged his father not to marry Camilla, who he wed in 2005 and is now the queen consort.
