VIDEO. Prince Harry’s explosive memoir hits bookstores: ‘I want to see for myself’

This is the most anticipated book of the year. Prince Harry’s autobiography “Spare” in French “Deputy” is available from January 10 in 16 languages ​​worldwide. In the United Kingdom, the first copies of the book were sold after midnight (local time and GMT) in some retail stores opened specifically for the occasion.

“It’s all about context. So I really want to see for myself what the real story is,” says Chris Imafidon, first in line to buy the book from WHSmith bookseller at London Victoria Station. In this book of events, Prince Harry looks back on tensions with the royal family, the death of his mother, Princess Diana, as well as his years in the military and, in particular, his tour of duty in Afghanistan.

Two television interviews for promotion

Several shocking excerpts from “Spare” were leaked days before release, after several books were mistakenly put up for sale in Spain. Including an excerpt detailing the heated quarrel between Prince Harry and his brother William: “The confrontation escalated until William grabbed me by the collar, tore the collar and… knocked me to the ground. Prince Harry wrote in his memoirs.

Hours before the publication of the book, Prince Harry gave two promotional interviews, one to the American channel CBS and the other to the British channel ITV, which were rebroadcast in France on TF 1 and M 6.
