Prince Harry has just faced another major setback — he’s lost a prestigious recognition just two years after releasing his tell-all memoir, Spare. When the book first came out in 2023, it created a huge buzz. In fact, it became the fastest-selling non-fiction book in UK history at the time.
But now, interest in Spare seems to be fading. This year, the book didn’t even make it onto The Sunday Times Top 100 Bestsellers list — a clear sign that the public’s attention may have moved on. Meanwhile, a different royal book is making headlines again: Diana: Her True Story – In Her Own Words, written by Andrew Morton with help from Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana, has earned a spot on the same list.
Harry’s memoir caused a lot of drama when it came out. It revealed deeply personal and often controversial details about the royal family, which sparked worldwide discussion and tension within the monarchy.
Adding to the disappointment, there are now rumors that Harry and Meghan’s multi-million-dollar deal with Netflix — signed back in 2020 — may not be renewed. While neither Netflix nor the Sussexes have confirmed anything yet, this possible end to their deal would be another blow to their public and professional image.
Overall, it seems like Prince Harry’s attempts to build a post-royal brand are facing tough challenges — from a fading book to uncertain media deals, and now the loss of a significant honor.
