Prince Harry’s autobiography was a bestseller last year; it was the best-selling book in Great Britain. There could now be an award for that.
Prince Harry’s autobiography is nominated in two categories for the British Book Awards. As the industry magazine “The Bookseller”, which awards the prize, announced, the book published last year with the title “Spare” (in German: “Reserve”) was named Book of the Year in the non-fiction narrative and audio non-fiction categories nominated.
The reason given was that no book had ever sold faster than the prince’s memoirs, which was also the best-selling book in Great Britain last year. The audio book was originally read by Harry himself.
In his autobiography, the 39-year-old provides insights into the private life of the royals and his emotional world with unprecedented openness. In it he describes his life in the shadow of his older brother William (41) and how he dealt with the early death of his mother, Princess Diana.
Harry also accuses his family of colluding with the tabloid press. He blames the media for Diana’s fatal car accident and accuses them of conducting a smear campaign against his wife Meghan (42). The book is said to have contributed significantly to further deepening the rift between Harry and the royal family.
Prince Harry’s book further fueled the royal family dispute
Harry and Meghan broke away from the royal family’s inner circle more than four years ago. Especially with his father, King Charles III. (75), Harry had a falling out with his brother William, who is now heir to the throne. He and his wife Meghan Frau now live in the US state of California with their two children, Prince Archie (4) and Princess Lilibet (2).
