Prince Harry’s Book “Spare” Already 1/2 Price Before Release

Prince Harry’s new book Spare has yet to be released, but its price has already been reduced to bargain bin prices on Amazon and Waterstones in the UK. His shocking book is on its way to the bargain bin before it even hits the shelves.

Some small bookshops are refusing to stock the Duke of Sussex’s memoir Spare, fearing that no one will buy it at its full price of £28 ($33.00).

Spare, described as “raw, unflinchingly honest,” and “full of revelation” by the 38-year-old Duke, will be released on January 10.

“I don’t think I’ll be stocking it, and I haven’t yet had any requests to order it,” Phil Davies of Pigeon Books in Southsea, Hants, told trade magazine The Bookseller.

“I’m assuming it’ll be another title that stores like Smiths and Waterstones will heavily discount from the start, so it’s really not worth our time to compete.”

Duke is said to be “contractually obligated” to use his celebrity to promote the book ahead of its release.

Spare was described by publisher Transworld as “a landmark publication full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.”

Its release follows Prince Harry and Meghan, 41, criticizing the Royal Family in their six-part Netflix series.

Prince Harry Plays the Victim

In advance snippets, Harry told Britain’s ITV that the royal household had cast him and Meghan as “villains” with “absolutely no willingness to reconcile.” He called the palace’s refusal to defend him and Meghan from attacks a “betrayal” in an interview with CBS.

Officials at the Palace have refused to comment on any of Meghan and Harry’s allegations.

Since their divorce from the royal family in 2020, Harry and Meghan have begun a new life as charity campaigners and media personalities in the United States.

Harry has expressed a desire for reconciliation with his brother and father, King Charles III after Queen Elizabeth II died in September at the age of 96.

The book’s scathing revelations will almost certainly make that more difficult.

Meanwhile, according to a British royal expert based in Washington, the royal couple Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are losing support from the American public due to their “relentless attacks on the Royal Family.”

Nile Gardiner, a foreign policy expert and Royal Family fan, praised Prince William and Kate’s recent visit to America, but believes Americans are turning against Harry and Meghan.

He predicted that the American people would turn against Meghan and Harry. They will be popular among the left-liberal elite, but increasingly unpopular among ordinary Americans. They will be isolated in the United States and will be as unpopular here as they are in the United Kingdom.”

People Tired of the Sussex’s Victim Narrative

The American public is growing tired of the “narcissistic narrative” surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s departure from the Royal Family and the subsequent fallout.

According to Sandro Monetti, a journalist working in the US, Meghan and Prince Harry are “starting to get nervous” about the couple’s “longevity in Hollywood,” and many British ex-pats living in the US share this sentiment.

Mr. Monetti went on to say that the Netflix series was “one-sided” and that the American audience was “tired” of Harry and Meghan’s whining.

“I can see how the Palace might be concerned that the US is only getting one side of the story,” he said.

“Will this be what defines Harry and Meghan now? The same old debates. People will be fascinated if you give them something new. They will look elsewhere if you keep repeating the same old material.

“We now await the Harry book on January 10 to see if it will be another rehash or if it will be new material.”

Harry and Meghan discussed a variety of issues and grievances they had with royal life. The Prince spoke about how, from a young age, he struggled with life in the spotlight and under media scrutiny.

The couple discussed the shocking threats they have received, Meghan’s struggles adjusting to royal life, and the breakdown of their relationships.

Meghan Tops Ranker’s Online Poll

The couple’s ability to win glitzy humanitarian awards and command the loyalty of their Sussex Squad fans on social media has clearly made them tiresome to a large segment of the US public.

Meghan and Prince Harry are ranked first and second in Ranker’s online poll of “Celebrities You’re Sick of in 2022.”

Meghan received 23,600 votes out of a total of 415,900 votes cast, while Harry received 20,967. The poll will remain open until the New Year, though a Ranker spokesperson expects interest to wane after January 1.

Ranker voters also appear to want to hear less from some of the Sussexes’ celebrity friends. Oprah Winfrey, Meghan and Harry’s Montecito neighbor and blockbuster-interview confessor, was ranked third, with late-night talk-show host James Corden ranking fifth and Ellen DeGeneres ranking sixth.

In some ways, it’s perplexing that the Duchess and Duke of Sussex are at the top of the list, given that others in the top ten have been arguably more divisive and, in one case, even harmful. Amber Heard was ranked fourth, Chrissy Teigen was ranked eighth, and Kanye West and his reality star ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, were ranked ninth and tenth, respectively.

When it comes to Meghan Markle, Newsweek royal correspondent Jack Royston wrote this week that the American former TV actress appears to have the sympathy of the American public. Royston, who is known for his positive coverage of the Sussexes, stated that Meghan has been the subject of increasingly critical coverage in the United States media, which may explain why she ranks so high among weary Ranker voters.

Earlier this month, a chief media analyst at the usually Sussex-friendly Variety magazine blasted the couple for their Netflix series and offered reasons why some members of the public might be sick of them, Royston added.

“It’s not that Harry and Meghan don’t have a compelling story to tell; the prejudice they faced from the royal family and the British press was appalling,” wrote Andrew Wallenstein.

“However, repeating the story has diminishing returns,” he continued. “At some point, even the dimmest of minds among their fans is going to tire of their ‘Oh, woe is us’ routine as they play the victim card again and again.

That’s a tone-deaf message to send from their posh Montecito estate at a time of global economic uncertainty.”
