This is the most awaited book of this beginning of the year.
Prince Harry's autobiography, "Spare", "the substitute" in French, has been available since January 10 in 16 languages, worldwide.
In the United Kingdom, the first copies of the book were sold after midnight (local and GMT) at some retailers opened especially for the occasion.
“It's all about context.
So I really want to see for myself what the real story is,” shares Chris Imafidon, first in line to buy the book from bookseller WHSmith in London Victoria Station.
In this event book, Prince Harry evokes the tensions with the royal family, the death of his mother, Princess Diana, as well as his years in the army and in particular his deployment in Afghanistan.
Two TV interviews to promote
Several shock excerpts from "Spare" had leaked a few days before the release, after a number of books were mistakenly put on sale in Spain.
Including a passage detailing a violent argument between Prince Harry and his brother William: “The confrontation escalated until William grabbed me by the collar, tearing my collar, and … knocked me to the ground.
“wrote Prince Harry in his memoirs.
A few hours before the publication of the book, Prince Harry granted two promotional interviews, one to the American channel CBS and the other to the British channel ITV, rebroadcast in France on TF 1 and M 6.
