In his biography, Prince Harry mentions one name most often - other people close to him, however, are hardly mentioned in Harry's international bestseller.
Montecito – The hardback edition of Prince Harry's memoirs (38) has over 500 pages.
In “Reserve” (“Spare”), Harry, with the help of his ghostwriter JR Moehringer (58), writes the frustration of life on the bench of the British royal family from the soul.
One name is by far the most frequently mentioned in Harry's biography.

The two children of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan, Archie (3) and Lilibet (1), are
surprisingly far behind in the
mirror.co.uk listing, but of course they only appear in the last part of Harry's biography.
Archie and Lilibet may play a bigger role in a future Prince Harry work - having had to drastically cut his biography, the Duke of Sussex still has plenty of material for more books.
