Interest around the book soared in the lead-up to its January 10 publication date, in part owing to a number of high-profile interviews undertaken by Harry to promote it, but also to the book's content being leaked ahead of time when media outlets were able to obtain unauthorized copies.Ī number of claims and anecdotes made in the book have earned Harry equal measures of criticism and sympathy, from the account of a physical attack by Prince William in 2019 to his history of drug taking, the loss of his virginity and the claim that he killed 25 Taliban fighters during his tours of Afghanistan with the British Armed Forces. Harry's "raw" and "unflinching" memoir became the fastest-selling non-fiction book in British history, selling over 400,000 copies in its first day. Prince Harry's newly published book Spare has divided opinion among celebrities after smashing sales records after the highly anticipated release.
